GLOSSARY
Crumb RubberA finely ground rubber produced from whole tires. Crumb rubber is the result of grinding scrap tires into various sizes—‚from nuggets, to crumbs, to powders—depending on the end use. Crumb rubber is used as a raw material in a wide variety of products and applications.
Rubber MulchLandscaping material made from recycled tires processed into nuggets that look like traditional wood mulch. The rubber nuggets are colored with nontoxic, long-lasting pigments.
Rubberized AsphaltSimilar to traditional asphalt, rubberized paving material adds 15- to 22-percent crumb rubber along with binder material. Rubberized asphalt is safer and more durable, and is often laid using the same equipment as traditional asphalt.
Tire Derived Fuel (TDF)An alternative energy source to coal, oil and natural gas. TDF is used to operate cement kilns, pulp and paper mills, and power plants. TDF produces more energy than coal—generating up to 16,000 BTUs per pound—with lower moisture, sulfur, nitrogen, and ash.
