2020 State Scrap Tire Legislation

Bills addressing scrap tires and/or tire recycling related proposals were introduced in a number of states early in 2020. Several of these measures have been acted on and were either passed or defeated, while the remainder have gone through one or two readings and remain in committee awaiting further action.

Most notably, three Maryland bills dealing with tire recycling and crumb rubber were introduced and had hearing in February and early March. All three drew strong opposition from the Tire Industry Association (TIA), the Synthetic Turf Council (STC), the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Maryland tire recyclers and other tire related busi - nesses. All three measures were defeated or marginalized.

Due to Covid-19, twenty-three states have suspended their legislative session. Some are indefinite suspensions while others were mostly shuttered for March and April. On March 26, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchins ordered a spe - cial session of the state legislature to begin and continue indefinitely.

Background In early March, EmissionsAnalytics, a UK-based independent global testing and data specialist for scientific measurement of real world emissions, performed some initial tire wear testing. According to the company, the test was conducted using a popular family-size hatchback vehicle running on brand new, correctly inflated tires.

In a March 6 press release, EmissionsAnalytics reported that their results found the car emitted 5.8 grams of particle wear per kilometer which they claimed was higher than regulated exhaust emission limits of 4.5 milligrams per kilometer by a factor of over 1,000.

Schwalbe said the plan is designed to encourage bike shops to collect used inner tubes and return them to Schwalbe to be recycled into new inner tubes using a specially developed process.

They said the plan is easy to use, and enables retailers to demonstrate their ecological and sustainability credentials to their customers and encourage them to recycle inner tubes. Riders are also encouraged to take their used inner tubes to their local shops that are participating.

The scheme has been running successfully in Germany for five years with numerous dealers taking part. It also began in the Netherlands last year.
