Gravel outside Emert Grinding headquarters awaits a mad resurfacing job that the PADOT is consideringfor a rubberized asphalt test project using up to 30% crumb rubber (top). Somerset homeowners love the buf-colored pour-in place rubberized asphalt driveway and sidewalk Emert's RRT division installed last year.

A pour-in-place rubber handicap ramp and solid rubber parking stop helped the Stairs Restaurant meet state regulations and provide a safe environment for patrons (ref).

The Seven Springs Resort near Somerset uses decorative planters and trash receptacles made fim RRT's recycled rubber compounds.

"Recycled rubber products are at home ... at work ... and at play in Somerset, PA.ff Somerset, Pennsylvania is a virtual shopping mall for recycled rubber products.

On the residential side you'll find asphalt and concrete driveways coated with recycled rubber surfaces (in decorator colors, no less). Backyard basketball courts, stairs, walkways around swimming pools and playgrounds all sport the resilient rubberized surfaces.

If your fancy runs to industrial and commercial applications, stop at the Stairs Restau- rant, a popular local gathering place in the heart of Somerset and stroll up to the front entrance on its brick-colored recycled rubber-coated walkway complete with a solid rubber handicap ramp. Snyder Pretzels in nearby Berlin has outdoor stairs surfaced with recycled rubber. The Hidden Valley Post Office uses recycled rubber outdoor entrance mats. Up the road, the region's famous Seven Springs Resort has decorative planters made of recycled rubber.

All the products are locally made by the Recycled Rubber Technologies division of Somerset-based Emert Grinding and Machine which has been manufacturing tools for the mining industry since 1973. Today, the company's two divisions embody a total approach to the recycled rubber market.

Now diversified, Emert Grinding makes a line of cutting tools to downsize shredded rubber to fine quality crumb rubber. The complete system includes a shredder, granulator, and conveyor. Company owner Dave Emert, a licensed tool and die maker, designed knives which can be inserted into existing machinery and developed a polymer, which when added to water, is a lubricant that can be sprayed on the knives to reduce resistance.

The company offers a complete knife retrofit service for tire processing and recycling equipment. "With our service, tire recyclers can get their knives recondi- tioned and replaced for less-than half the market price," Emert said. Emert currently makes knives for several large tire processors who in turn supply Emert's RRT division with crumb rubber.

- Learning - the best practice

Equipment. iL

9 - This month we bring you our fourth annual Buyer's Guide to Tire Recycling j

We developed the guide as an adjunct to the Scrap Tire and Rubber Users Directory to offer tire and rubber recyclers an additional opportunity to locate sources for tire and rubber processing equipment. This "mini-list'' is not intended to be comprehensive. It focuses more on manufacturers of individual types or pieces of equipment mostly for primary and secondary shredding rather than on complete systems. However, most of these manufacturers have the capability to discuss and or design complete systems for size reduction to 20 mesh, for example. The secret is knowing what you want and what to ask for before you call them.

While this guide provides you with "sources", there are other opportunities to learn about equipment and the larger picture - the tire recycling industry. These occur throughout the year in many forms. The Annual World Tire Conference and Exhibition in Louisville this past April is a good example.

You weren't there? Sorry you couldn't come. Several new products were on display. ..let's see there was a new press for molding recycled rubber mats, several equipment manufacturers offering complete tire processing systems (to produce 1" and smaller materials, rubber granulating and milling equipment, products to color rubber, and financial package providers to name a few. One new exhibitor, Recycled Rubber Technologies (featured in this issue) brought a whole slew of product samples made from recycled rubber and processed tires in a shredder / granulator in the outdoor demo area.

Perhaps the most notable 'litem" on display throughout the show was quality. Ask exhibitors, they'll tell you they were more encouraged by the quality than the quantity of buyers. The same is true of the workshops. Ask attendees - they'll tell you what they gained from these quality discussions and presenta- tions and from the opportunity to network with others in the industry.

Next month there's another opportunity to learn about advances in processing and marketing recycled rubber at the Best Practices and Marketing Techniques for Scrap Tire and Rubber Workshop in Chicago, August 27-28. This is a unique opportunity to benefit from the more than 40 years of accumulated knowledge and experience in tire and rubber processing and marketing that

Award winner In October 1996, Emert's approach to making recycled rubber products a market reality was recognized by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge who honored the company with the presti- gious Governor's Award for Environ- mental Excellence. Emert's firm received an outstanding achievement award and drew a request from the Governor to visit the plant. In Decem- ber, when Gov. Ridge signed H.B. 1929 authorizing $6 million in stockpile cleanup funds, he used a recycled rubber-content pen made by Emert's company and personalized with the Governor's name.

This Spring, Recycled Rubber Technolo- gies garnered another of the state's blue chip awards when the Pennsylvania Resources Council presented a Green America Award to the company in recognition of its efforts to recycle scrap tire rubber and protect the environment.

New challenges For Dave Emert, the awards represent both the culmination of more than six years of planning, research and product development and the beginming of his newest challenge - to turn recycled rubber into recognizable, practical everyday products used in everyday ways.

It's a challenge well underway at Emert's RRT division with a new industrial roofing application topping the list of jobs on tap this summer.

"We're actually incorporating two different types of recycled rubber products - one in the prep course and one in the final layer," Emert said.

Emert teamed up with DuraFlex Industries, Inc. a Dover Plains, New York roofing contractor, to install the roof. Dura Flex is a licensed installer of EnviroFlex roofing products which include E-Flex 5, a neoprene-based

. - . . rubberized roofing compound that contains 30% recycled tire rubber.

spray applied rubberized roofing material that contains 30 percent recycled tire rubber.

The EnviroFlex products were developed by Ethan Grove, president of Baltimore, Md -based Elastomeric Technologies.

The job involves resurfacing a 10,000 square foot roof on a Sears parts and service warehouse in Johnstown, PA about twenty-five miles north of Somerset. To prepare the roof, DuraFlex used a pour-in place compound devel- oped by Emert to fill voids and depres- sions in the roof and to seal around flashings, vents, and roof edges. The compound uses 90 percent recycled rubber and about 10 percent polymers and binders, according to Emert.

"It's ideal for roof applications because it's lighter than stone and doesn't add additional weight, " Emert said. "It can also be applied in areas that are tradition- ally difficult for roofers," he said.

The roof will be finished and sealed with a spray-applied coating of E-Flex 5 over a

fiberglass reinforcing layer. The E-Flex 5 roofing formula consists of neoprene asphalt emulsion and 20 mesh crumb rubber.

The final layer contains about 30 percent crumb rubber, according to Kerry Mitras, President of DuraFlex Industries. "The rubber adds U-V protection and helps prevent degradation over the life of the roof," Mitras said.

Training - key to market expansion Mitras plans to complete the roof this summer as part of a training school DuraFlex is setting up in Johnstown. f i e school will be housed at a Days Inn near the Sears warehouse. Both facilities will serve as training projects for students.

Once the Sears roof is completed, students will resurface the roofs on the Days Inn complex. In addition, the hotel complex offers opportunities for students to learn how to apply rubberized coatings and pour-in place surfaces such as walls, decks, and walkways, Mitras said. The month long course includes one

The school is a "first of its kind," Emert said. "We want to build a network of qualified installers, - with the training and knowledge to make these recycled rubber applications main- stream," he said.

Emert is working with Mitras and DuraFlex Marketing and Sales Director Richard Pomietlasz to set up the school and course materials. Emert will also supply instructional details on how to use and handle pour-in-place rubberized com- pounds.

New projects spur growth This summer, Emert hopes to add a rubberized asphalt roadway to Somerset's growing rubberized products "display." Emert has petitioned the Governor and the PA DOT to try an experimental section of an asphalt rubber compound on a planned resurfacing of legislative Route 601 which runs adjacent to Emert's manufacturing facility. If the project uses Emert's recycled rubber, it will be the first "official" rubberized road project in Somerset.

Last year, Emert used his recycled rubber compound to patch some potholes on an exit ramp of Route 219 in Somerset without "offiaal" approval from the PA DOT. The caper almost got him arrested but one year later the rubber fill ( which Emert installed with an adhesive sans heat ) is still in the former pothole.

"The product works," Emert said. "And I can fill potholes for a third of the cost of the materials the state uses now," he said.

Later this summer, Emert will work with the state highway department to install a rubberized coating on the steel reinforcements on a bridge overpass on Route 219 near the turnpike entrance.

The spray applied coating will use 20 mesh Qumb rubber mixed with an adhesive and binder. The rubberized coating is designed to serve as a protective surface to retard surface rust and further deterioration of the steel components, Emert said. _ _ ~

Far-flung product recognition While Emert's company is decidedly home-grown, its produds are being recognized well beyond Somerset.

In Iowa, for example, a division of Alcoa Aluminium is testing RRTs rubber mats to determine whether they can protect 90,000 pounds of a l u " rolls from scratching and still maintain the integrity of the mat under the heavy weight.

RRT's mats, which are used in some factories and banks and in day-care centers in Pennsylvania have also found their way to Disney World where ticket takers stand on them to reduce fatigue.

Emert is also working with the safety committees of several steel mills to design and test mat products that can resist electricity up to 20,000 volts, are slip and skid resistant and reduce potential worker injuries.

Texas Tire Program Set To Expire In light of the fact that no legislation (see STN, Vol. 11, No. 5, May, 1997, p. 21 ) extending the Texas Waste Tire Recycling Program, sunset date was passed during the recent legislative session, the program will be phased out. According to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), the vast majority of tasks performed by the program will "sunset" on December 31,1997, continuing as is until then.

The TNRCC was appropriated $9 million to continue the cleanup of Priority Enforcement List sites throughout Fiscal years 1998 and 1999. These cleanups will be conducted through open bidding, according to TNRCC Waste Tire Program manger Mark Vickery. Generators, transporters

and storage sites wiU continue to be registered and regulated under the Health and Safety Code Section 361.112, Vickery said.

Tires will continue to be manifested with an emphasis on enforcement of the regulations regarding handling and storage of tires. "Our goal is to see that illegal dumping does not begin again," Vickery said.

The TNRCC reports that the state has increased its recycling rate for tires from 30 percent to 80 percent in the last eighteen months. Additionally, nineteen million tires have been removed from abandoned tire sites by the PEL program since the program began in 1992, Vickery said. +

Illinois Subsidv Issue Hits

J

Another Snag A Cook County, IL Circuit Court judge has thrown out a lawsuit claiming a waste-to- energy company's constitutional rights wiU be violated if the case did not move forward in circuit court.

The lawsuit, brought by Foster Wheeler Corp., was rejected in a federal court ruling in November that upheld the provision in the U.S. Constitution which prohibits states from being sued in federal court on the basis of sovereign immunity.

Circuit Court Judge Robert U. Boharic ruled that Foster Wheeler's claims are better suited for the Illinois Court of Claims. That court handles claims against Illinois based on any law, regulation or contract by the state but it does not rule on the legal merits of the laws.

The lawsuit follows changes to the State Retail Rate Law last year which excluded Foster Wheeler's waste-to-energy plant in Robbins, Illinois f" a program allowing companies to sell their power to utilities at a higher rate.

Boharic's jurisdictional ruling covers both Foster Wheeler's incinerator in Robbins and a case involving two tire burning facilities in Ford Heights, L and Fulton, IL, all of which are seeking to have the subsidies restored.

In a separate action, a legislative initiative in the Illinois House proposes to restore the incentives for the Robbins and Ford Heights locations. (See STN Vol 11, No. 5, May, 1997, p.3). +

California Wate Board Funds Playgrounds California school and park playgrounds will soon offer safer and cleaner playing areas for thousands of users following a recent decision by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to fund 50 percent of the costs to install rubber safety mats in a number of areas around the state

The Waste Board approved a $350,078.66 grant-package May 28 to help 20 school and municipal park districts around the state resurface playground areas with impad-absorbing rubberized mats made from waste tires. The funding is in response to more than 40 applications f“ communities for financial assistance from the Waste Board. Applications were judged against a set of standards and money was awarded based on how each applicant scored. Not all of the applications were approved for funding. The approved projects, and others like them, represent efforts by the Waste Board to help create markets and find uses for the estimated 30 million waste h s produced each year in California.

The projects will benefit playgrounds around the state, providing school and park districts with the financial means

to render such areas substantially more useful with safety mats made of recycled-content crumb rubber and phase out existing bare ground, sand, and chipped bark surfaces, according to a CIWMB announcement.

A 25-cent fee on the sale of new tires in California helps the Waste Board pay for a number of tire-related programs, includ- ing promoting and creating markets for recycled tire products. + .

National Rubber Marks 7OthYearwithNewName -

In conjunction with its 70th anniversary, Toronto-Ontario based National Rubber has taken on a new name. National Rubber will now be known as NRI Industries Inc.

“Our new name better reflects our company’s diversity and its new opportunities for growth,” NRI President and CEO Ted Pattenden said.

Over the last five years the company has undergone a massive expansion of its capabilities and expertise Pattenden said. Primarily NRI has concentrated on expanding product design and manufadwing capacity to ensure preferred supplier to our automotive and industrial customers. During that period, NRI developed the proprietary technology and skills to transform scrap rubber into material products that meet the rigorous quality standards and competitive costs demanded by the

Nuts About Rubber A research project sponsored by the US National Science Foundation is attempting to identify natural products to impmve the characteristics of rubber, which is easily damaged by sunlight and needs additives to prevent degradation.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) and Ho Chi Minh University (Saigon, Vietnam) and the National Center for Natural Science and Technology (Hanoi, Vietnam) are collaborating on the study which involves modifying rubber with a resin made by reacting the common chemical formaldehyde with oil extracted f“ old cashew nut shells to improve certain characteristics of rubber. Preliminary research results indicate that the cashew-treated rubber may produce better tires and find a valuable use for unwanted cashew nut shells.

- Proposes Fee on Useh Tire Sales A proposal to add a per tire fee on the sale of used tires in Knox County Tennessee is expected to be introduced when the county board meets for its first 1998 budget hearing in July.

-

-

Knox County Solid Waste Director John Evans said he’ll recommend a fee up to $1 for used tires that have not been subjected to the $1 state fee charged on new tire sales. Realistically, Evans said he expects the fee would be more in the 25 cents to 50 cents range, if passed.

Under Tennessee’s tire law, the $1 per tire fee on new tire sales is passed on to counties to set up tire collection and processing centers. The state reimburses Knox County about $65 per ton which is supposed to offset the cost of landfiuing tires.

But the county recycles tires instead of landfilling them. The result is that the county ends up paying about 21 cents per tire dropped off at its center. While the county will have sufficient funds to make up the difference this year, Evans cautioned that the county needs to generate more revenues to keep up with the increasing demand. He recommended the fee on used tire sales as one way to get additional funds.

Last year the county collected about 259,000 passenger tires. In July of 1996, the county began accepting truck tires and collected nearly 60,000 by the end of the year. For 1997, Evans estimates that truck tire collections easily will exceed 100,000. In addition, the county‘s tire processing center accepts more than 50,000 tires annually that may not have been subject to the $1 per tire state fee on sales. ”What I’m talking about is getting the orphan tires that aren’t in the system,” Evans said.

~

The tires sold as used tires that can’t be manifested back to their ori@ destination. ”They could have been trucked in from out of the state. We’re talking about used tire dealers mainly” he said.

_ _ _

Currently it costs the county about 87 cents to process a passenger tire and about $3.50 for tractor tires, Evans said. +

How Scrap Tire Handlers Can Get Financial Assurance Environmental mandates have seen a sharp increase in recent years. Unfortunately what this means to the scrap tire industry is increased regulations and state mandated financial assurance.

How to get it, who to trust for legitimate advice, and how to make sure that your rates are in accordance with industry risk standards a~ among the questions scrap tire businesses are faced with daily. Tire recyclers must also understand and evaluate the difference between a surety bond, a letter of credit or other finanaal mechanisms to determine the best coverage for their particular needs.

Traditionally, transporters and facility owners have relied on their standard insurance companies and agents for scrap tire-specific bonds. However, many insurance companies are reluctant to provide guarantees and assurances to a business they do not fully understand.

Today the financial community is responding to this need with new, innovative, comprehensive financial assurance packages designed specifically for scrap tire and rubber recycling businesses. Companies such as Louisville, KY- based Smith-Manus Agency offer specialized services designed to provide information and advice about how financial assurance and state mandated bonding require- ments affect the over operation and success of a tire or rubber recycling business.

”Based on the size of the tire recycling business, its scope of services and specific state and local regulations, we can develop programs tailored to each facility or transportation operation,” Ray HundleF finanaal specialist for Smith-Manus said.

Hundley noted that tire recyclers can also help themselves conquer the sometimes overwhelming task of selecting a financial assurance strategy that offers the right amount of protection and is affordable. He suggested that tire recyclers do some research before selecting a surety provider.

Flow Control Bill Gets Push from Chafee Sen. John H. Chafee, R-RI is circulating a draft interstate waste and flow control bill that would provide narrowly drawn protection for debt-financed waste facilities.

The combined measure draws its flow control provisions from a House agreement reached between waste companies and local governments in January, 1996 while the interstate waste provisions are drawn from a bill the Senate passed in May 1995. That bill would allow governors to limit out-of- state waste shipments to landfills that received garbage imports in 1993.

The current draft would bar the use of flow control to include programs such as recycling unless covered under an original bond issue.

For bonds in place before the US. Supreme CourVs May 1994 flow control ruling, the draft would allow local governments to steer waste to a debt-finanaal facility only for the duration of the bond or for the life of an existing contract between a community and a waste company.

County and local government organizations have submitted some changes and suggested additions to the draft but all sides in the debate agree that quick passage of the legisla- tion is dependent on keeping the flow control provisions narrowly focused. +

Connecticut Repeals .L

Tire Fee Effective July 1,1997, the $2.00 fee charged on the retail sale of tires in Connecticut is repealed. The fee was passed as part of the state budget in 1994 with the revenues collected from the fees allocated to the state's general fund. +

Montana Legislature Calls For Ti6 Study The Montana legislature, seeking to develop a more compre- hensive approach to scrap tire management in the state, passed SB 332 during the 1997 session.

Essentially the bill defines waste tires and requires financial assurance from companies or individuals who would seek to manage or dispose of waste tires. The bill exempts several existing sites currently licensed by the Department of Environmental Quality to manage or dispose of waste tires.

-

In another provision, the legislature requires the Environ- mental Quality Council (EQC) to produce a waste tire study by October 1998 with possible legislative solutions to managing tires in a "better" way than simply landfilling them and for preventing the proliferation of "walk-away" surface tire piles.

The council will be reviewing economically feasible alterna- tives prior to the next legislative session in January 1999, EQC staff member Larry Mitchell said. +

California Counties Focus on Enforcement Imperial, Riverside, Tulare, Sutter and Yuba Counties have been given $110,031 in grant funding f" the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMl3) to establish pilot programs to enforce regulations dealing with scrap tire storage.

The counties are expected to use the funds to conduct inspec- tions of scrap tire facilities and pay for surveillance and monitor- ing of potential illegal scrap tire sites, according to CMTMB.

These efforts are designed to prevent the creation of new tire piles, and enhance public safety and environmental protection in these communities, a spokesman for the counties said. +

Ash Grove Cement Seeks To Bum Tire Fuel in Nebraska The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) plans to rule on an application to burn tires at two kilns at Ash Grove Cement Companfs Louisville plant this summer. The state offered a 30 day public grant period on the plan and is conduding its own study of smokestack emissions data from the test burning of tires to compare the pollutant levels to coal.

If approved, Ash Grove’s Louisville, Nebraska plant can burn up to two million tires annually in the plant’s two kilns, a company spokesman said.

The application to burn tires has drawn opposition from residents who fear that tire burning may produce hazardous emissions. In addition, because the plant previously burned hazardous wastes as a supplemental fuel in its kilns, there is “quite a bit of public concern and skepticism remaining despite testing data,” Erik Snyder, a DEQ environmental engineer said.

Ash Grove Cement, based in Overland Park, Kansas, currently burns whole tires as supplemental fuel at plants in Durkee, OR; Inkom, ID; and Seattle, Washington. It also has a 50 percent interest in the North Texas Cement Company, a Midlothian, Texas, plant which also burns tires.

Ash Grove is also currently applying for permits to burn tires at a plant in Foreman, Arkansas. In Nebraska, Ash Grove expects to use scrap tires for up to 30 percent of its fuel requirements. The company uses a proprietary feed system to introduce the whole tires into the kiln’s calcinating zone at a rate of two or three per minute. According to the company the tires contain more energy than coal and burn exceptionally clean. +

Atlos Loses Inventory in Fire A fire in late May at Atlos Rubber, Inc.’s storage yard in Irwindale destroyed thousands of pounds of ground rubber, a forklift and a &foot semi-trailer, according to Atlos President Bob Winters. According to Irwindale officials, it took about 150 firefighters six hours to contain the fire which consumed about 300 to 400 60-lb. bags of ground rubber. The fire remains under investigation.

Despite the loss of inventory, Winters said the company was making other arrangements to meet all of its customers’ needs. Winters said he did not anticipate any interruption in processing at the company’s main plant in downtown Los Angeles. In addition, the company has another storage facility from which to draw product. The company supplies crumb rubber, scrap tread peelings and other raw materials and finished goods to a variety of markets. +

Forum Links Investors with Recycling Firms The Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) presented the Second Annual Northeast Recycling Investment Forum on May 16 in New York City.

Firms featured at the Forum included nine innovative ventures seeking equity investments ranging from $600,000 to $3 million. They included: Erickson Materials (MA), a developer of a proprietary chemical enhancement process to produce fine rubber powders from rubber waste and scrap tires; Great American Recycling Company (GA), a carpet recycling company with a proprietary chemical for recover- ing nylon, rubber urethane, and mixed fiber; and Tyreplex Corporation (PA), a manufacturer of thermoplastic products from scrap tires and waste polyolefin plastics.

Three previous forum participants reported raising a total of $1.2 million in investments as a result of the Forum.

Forum materials may be ordered by contacting NERC at (802) 254-3636 or via their web site at @ttp:/ /www.nerc.org]. The Third Annual Northeast Recycling Investment Forum is tentatively planned for Spring 1998. +

Cleanup Program Helps Landahners An innovative county cleanup program is helping Sherburne County, Minnesota landowners who have dumps or illegal waste on their properties afford the cost of cleanup. Under the nonpennitted Cleanup program, which received the 1996 Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties, the county pays 75 to 95 percent of the cost and the property owner pays the balance. The more expensive a problem is to clean up, the lower the percentage the landowner pays, accord- ing to county offiaals.

The county developed certain criteria that a property owner must meet in order to be eligible for program funds. Sites must pose an environmental threat, the waste must have been in place at the site before June 15,1993, and the land must not be in the process of being subdivided.

The program has assisted in the proper disposal of more than 2,700 tons of waste and 2,300 tires at 18 sites, and cost the county less than $100,000. The average cost per site has been $5,500 for the county and $1,000 for the landowners.

Minnesota’s scrap tire law which regulated the management of scrap tires and the cleanup of scrap tire piles expired in 1994. +

Top 10 Reasons Why SHRED-TECH

20 STN July 2997

You don’t make money when you’re not shredding tires.

It’s that simple. So what are you doing to prevent downtime? You should be investing in quality blades - blades that don’t eat up production time with frequent change outs. Blades that resist wear and can stand up to the abuses your operation inflicts on them. You should be getting your blades from us, The Kinetic Co.

Our blades cut better - and longer. For almost 50 years, Kinetic has been making the sharpest, most wear-resistant blades in America. Our highly sophisticated knowledge of materials and heat treating give you the most cost-effective blades for your shredding operation.

Sure, the price tag on junk knives and blades may look good on a purchase order. But do you find yourself going through them by the gross? And the truth is their real cost is paid on to the shop floor.

Anybody can make knives. The way we make knives puts you in a position to make money.
