Reuse: Up Slightly to 90K Tons Retreads: Estimated Slightly Down, 47.9K tons Used Tires: 3% to 42.7K Tons (8.4% of Total) • Considerations • Estimated Flows • Steady Economy • New Tariffs
Crumb/Ground Rubber: Up 29% to 87.7K Tons Paving: 2 - 10%: Turf Infill: 5-20% Ground Rubber: 75 - 125% Molded/Other: 75 - 100% • Considerations • Positive Demand Trend • SB1 Funding • PG+X? • Ongoing Studies • Under Utilized Capacity • Potential for Growth
Civil Engineering: Down 20% to 5.2K Tons • Considerations • Relatively Consistent Landfill Use • Project-Specific Bursts • Increase Projected in 2019 15.8K Tons Landfill Applications: 28% to 4.0K Tons Other Applications: 30% to 1.1K Tons
TDF (In-State): Up 6% to 80.1K Tons • Considerations • Steady Economy • Roughly Steady Use –Near Permit Maximums • Additional 9.5K Tons Originated Out-of-State
TDF (Exported): Up 19% to 135.2K Tons • Considerations • Steady TDF Pricing and Demand • Vietnam Bale Market Closed Early 2018 Size-Reduced TDF: 14% to 99.2K Tons Baled TDF: 38% to 36.0K Tons
Alternative Daily Cover: Down 1% to 18.0K Tons • Considerations • 3 Northern CA Landfills Reporting • 1 Of These Will Close in 2019
Disposal: Down 22% to 90.5K Tons • Considerations • 7 Landfills Account for 98% of Disposal • Distributed North and South • Rising Landfill Tip Fees
End-of-Life TDP Management Trends • Asphalt Rubber Pavement Recycled with RAP at High Rate • CalRecycle Sponsored Tests of RAP in New AR Pavement • Increasing Trend to Reuse Turf Infill • Mostly as Part of Infill in Replacement Fields • Sometimes in Base Layer of Replacement Field • Some Reuse in Other Applications • Very Little Activity with Other TDPs • Additional Research Underway
Other TOMA Updates • Continuing TDP Outreach and Education • AIA Lunch & Learns, Trade Shows, Other Venues • Invitation to Collaborate • Catalog Update This Summer • Supporting Organization of Next CalRecycle Tire Conference (March 18-19, 2020) • Pilot Student Competition: Tire Recycling Innovation Track • Part of University of San Diego’s Global Social Innovation
Conclusions • 2018 Recycling Uptick! • Turf Infill Declining • Wait and See: OEHHA and EPA Crumb Rubber Studies • Potential for Recycling Growth • Crumb Rubber Permitted Capacity • Positive Trends for Paving and Molded/Other • 2020 Big Bump for Civil Engineering Expected
