From Scrap Tires to Fuel
Asian Rubber is the market leader in Tire-derived fuel in UAE for the last many years.
Tire-derived fuel (TDF) is a proven technology that has been used in the U.S. for around 30 years. It is safe and widely recognized, including by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association as a viable option for reducing tires in landfills. Additionally, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) developed TDF standards in 2001, providing an industry-accepted strategy and acknowledging the importance of its proven and continuous use.
Many global markets have used this technology for more than 25 years as well, with many governments conducting environmental studies validating the benefits of TDF. For instance, in 2017, the Australian Tyre Recyclers Association (ATRA) published a report titled “Carbon Value Proposition, Resource Recovery using Tyre Derived Fuels” noting lower emissions from the use of TDF.
