Each year, ECORE recycles over 80 million pounds of scrap tire rubber, saving over 1 million barrels of oil and keeping over 2,000 trailer loads of discarded tires out of our nation’s landfills.
The amount of tires and oil conserved by ECORE each year is equal to the amount of energy consumed for the annual heating of 600 homes!

Producing one pound of recycled rubber versus one pound of new rubber requires only 29% of the energy
