FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kirsten Clemens, Scrap Tire Program Coordinator, EGLE-ScrapTire@Michigan.gov, 517-614-7431
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy today announced the funding of more than $4.7 million in grants to develop new uses for used vehicle tires.
When illegal dumping in the environment occurs, scrap tires pose both a fire hazard and a human health risk as a mosquito breeding ground. These grants help reduce or eliminate instances of illegal dumping, support proper collection and handling, and begin to define scrap tires as a commodity, rather than a waste material.
These scrap tire grants support building sustainable markets for recycled tire materials in Michigan. Grants have traditionally included support for essential equipment and materials that aid in the establishment of new markets, including various manufacturing processes, implementation and testing of paving materials, energy generation, and other innovative approaches.

EGLE s scrap tire program poised to grow new markets
Date: February 23, 2021
Currently, some 10 million scrap tires are generated annually in Michigan and processed into tire-derived fuel, other uses, and disposed of in authorized landfills. And while Michigan is considered a leader in the U.S. in how it handles scrap tires, opportunities exist to expand its use.
The latest report on scrap tires in Michigan lays out opportunities to create a market development strategy to create and grow new scrap tire markets. Markets for scrap tires in Michigan are changing, so the state must continue to support growth of new markets that are more sustainable and economically viable, said Kirsten Clemens, EGLE scrap tire coordinator. By taking action, Michigan can transition the scrap tire industry from one of managing waste to creating economic value. The result will be a robust circular tire economy of the future.
