changed the way it incorporated estimates of tires entering used tire markets between 2009 and 2011. In 2009, RMA included used tires as a market for scrap tires. In 2011 and 2013, RMA subtracted used tires from the total tires hauled to calculate total net scrap tire generation. 2RMA changed the basis for reporting scrap tire generated annually from state-provided data in 2005-2007 to a calculation of replacement
market tires sold and vehicles scrapped for reports issued 2009 and after.

not publish vehicles retired from service separated for the car and truck/bus category. Instead, it only published total vehicles scrapped from service. RMA estimated the split between cars and trucks/buses based on the average of the split from 2002 - 2012. Assumes two tires scrapped from light duty vehicles and 2.5 tires scrapped from trucks and buses.

Please note: RMA began tracking tires culled from scrap tire collection entering domestic used passenger and light truck used tire markets in 2009. RMA changed the way it incorporated estimates of tires entering used tire markets between 2009 and 2011. In 2009, RMA included used tires as a market for scrap tires. In 2011 and later, RMA subtracted used tires from the total tires hauled to calculate total net scrap tire generation.

Please note: Ground rubber market distribution data are based on ground rubber consumed in end-use markets, not whole tires entering these market streams. The data represented in RMA U.S. scrap tire market summaries refer to the weight of whole tires diverted to all scrap tire markets, including ground rubber, whereas this chart refers to the weight of processed ground rubber (with wire, fluff and agglomerated rubber removed) that is consumed in ground rubber end-use markets.
Did you know? Total tire rubber consumed in ground rubber markets: about 1,360,000,000 pounds Total scrap tires diverted to these markets: About 1,020,000 tons or over 62 million tires

U.S. Stockpiled Scrap Tires 1990 - 2015
Did you know? In 1990, about a billion scrap tires were in stockpiles in the U.S. By 2015, over 93% of those tires have been cleaned up! Only 67 million more stockpiled tires still to go.

RMA is the national trade association representing tire manufacturers that make tires in the United States. RMA’s scrap tire management efforts are a reflection of the tire industry’s commitment to the concept of shared responsibility for its products when not suitable for use on vehicles. RMA began its scrap tire program in 1990 under the auspices of the Scrap Tire Management Council. RMA works with all stakeholders, including states, U.S. EPA and the industry to develop markets, reduce scrap tire stockpiles and implement state regulations that that foster sustainable scrap tire markets. RMA supports all scrap tire markets that are environmentally sound and economically feasible.
