Omni United’s Timberland Tires brand was highlighted by its recycling partner, Liberty Tire Recycling, during an April 6 session covering tire market creation and innovation at the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) 2016 Annual Convention and Exposition in Las Vegas.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to speak about our partnership with Omni United and Timberland on this innovative approach to closing the loop between tires and their end-of-life,” said Steve Bigelow, vice president of sales and marketing for Liberty Tire Recycling.
During the workshop, leaders in the industry pushing the boundaries of the scrap tire market discussed developing new markets for crumb rubber and mixing crumb rubber with plastic, as well as how companies can take advantage of these advances for their own operations, Omni United said.
The ISRI Annual Convention and Exposition runs April 2-7 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in LasVegas.
