Scrap tire usage as an alternative fuel source to coal is expanding further in the cement industry.
In 2003, of the 290 million scrap tires generated in the United States, 80% went to an end-use market. The largest single market for scrap tires was tire-derived fuel (TDF). Accordingly, a total of 129 million tires — from the 232 million tires that went to a market — were used as TDF. Of the 129 million tires that went to TDF, 53 million were consumed by the cement industry, making it the largest end user industry for scrap tires.
