Accelerating Environmental Stewardship
Driving Circular Solutions Forward
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond recycling tires—it’s about delivering real-world impact through innovation, accountability, and partnership.
We’re proud to share our 2024 Sustainability Report, highlighting the progress we’ve made, the challenges we’re tackling, and the ambitious goals guiding our future.
2024 Highlights:
• More than 215 million end-of-life tires collected
• 4.7 billion pounds of rubber reclaimed for use in infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy recovery
• 81.1% end-market utilization rate, a 2.7% improvement from 2023
• 1.5% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 2023
• 23.87% improvement in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)
• 29.25% improvement in Preventable Vehicle Accident Rate (PVAR)
Together, we’re building a cleaner, more resilient future—one tire at a time.
Meaningful Momentum
We have identified opportunities to cut our consumption of greenhouse gasses and already implemented software to optimize our collection routes and ensure trucks are filled to capacity at the end of each route, which has lowered carbon impact during the tire collection process. Leveraging this momentum, we are working to implement a strategy and subsequent efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.
Going Beyond Energy
Not only concerned with energy, we also want to reduce Liberty Tire’s environmental impact at all facilities and consider air, water and waste as part of our operational impact. We comply with all regulatory requirements and are always working to implement best practices around water quality management, waste management, energy efficiency and air emissions.
Helping Customers Meet Scope 3 Goals
As we continue to work on our strategy for carbon emissions reduction, we are actively working with customers to meet their Scope 3 goals through increased reporting transparency. We’re dedicated to ensuring the most beneficial use of all tire materials in our recycling process, which means finding end uses for or creating valuable products from the three primary outputs from processing and end-of-life tires– fiber, steel wire and rubber.
Liberty Tire Recycling is a Better Buildings, Better Plants Program Partner
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Better Buildings, Better Plants Program is a
national partnership initiative to drive significant improvement in energy efficiency across U.S. industry. Through Better Plants, manufacturers set ambitious energy savings goals, develop energy management plans, and track and report their annual progress. More than 250 companies and industrial organizations are leading the way on energy efficiency by participating in Better Plants and have collectively saved more than 1.9 quadrillion British thermal units (TBtu) and $9.3 billion in cumulative energy costs as of 2021. Liberty Tire Recycling's commitment to improving its energy productivity by 25% over 10 years establishes the company as a leader in efficiency and helps strengthen the nation’s manufacturing competitiveness,” said Becca Jones-Albertus, Acting Director, Advanced Manufacturing Office, U.S. Department of Energy.
