The Scrap Tire Research and Education Foundation (STREF) has been awarded $3.8 million by the US Environmental Protection Agency to develop Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the tire recycling industry. The grant is part of a broader $160 million initiative under the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed at reducing climate pollution from construction materials. The EPDs will detail the environmental impacts of recycled tire products and support the use of ground tire rubber in asphalt, improving pavement life and fuel efficiency.
