The Recycled Rubber Coalition released a white paper titled, “An Unexpected Electric Vehicle Environmental Problem With Common Sense Solutions,” that examines how the rapid adoption of EVs will lead to an increase in scrap tires and provides practical solutions for the recycling and reuse of these tires.

“The growing consumer demand for EVs remains one of the most exciting developments in recent years,” said the Recycled Rubber Coalition. “However, we need to address the reality of the increased scrap tires they produce. While excellent recycling options exist, effective government policies supporting the market expansion of recycled rubber are crucial for enhancing and encouraging industry reuse efforts.”
