Title: Recycled Rubber: One of the Greenest Inititatives

Summary: ♦ My industry, by its very nature, is "Green." Scrap tires and industrial rubber formerly were a terrible disposal problem. Virtually indestructible, they created major disease and fire hazards. . ♦ Today, this material is being transformed into valued end products such as landscaping and playground mulches, ballistic rubber for police and military, equestrian footing for horse trainers, tire-derived fuel which powers electric generating plants and industrial kilns, and crumb rubber for which civil engineers find myriad applications.
