Since the 2018 summit, four work groups have been meeting to develop a path for- ward. The four groups, focused on educa- tion, materials management and infrastruc- ture, markets, and measurement, presented their findings and recommendations at the second annual America Recycles Sum- mit and Innovation Fair held in conjunction with America Recycles Day 2019. When asked why recycling had suddenly become a priority, Wheeler cited changes caused in part by Chinese import restric- tions, Waste Dive said. "I think it's a big priority because it's a prob- lem that we have to solve. And it's really going to take some federal attention to solve it," he told Waste Dive. Wheeler said he wasn’t talking about new regulations, saying “we don’t have to come up with all the answers.” Rather, Wheeler proposed “creating an atmosphere where people are coming together to help us solve the problems, if we can be a convener, I think that helps the recycling crisis and recycling problem in the country." u 4 • STN December 2019 Visit us on the Web: www.scraptirenews.com TIA Planning Global Virginia Rubberized Environmental Forum Asphalt Project For 2020 Engineers from the Virginia Transportation Research Center (VTRC) were onsite to observe the lay down of rubberized Association’s Centennial year events also asphalt pavement last month on a six-mile stretch of High- include an international issues summit way 60, about 25 miles southeast of Richmond.

  • RECYCLED PRODUCTS the Improved Function and Long-Lasting
    RECYCLED PRODUCTS The improved function and long-lasting characteristics of recycled rubber bring quality to customers’ product lines while serving the important function of reaching conservation goals. Much of the recycled rubber produced by Liberty Tire Recycling is used as crumb rubber and industrial feedstock for manufacturers, as tire derived fuel for use in industry, or as rubber mulch in landscaping and playground applications. Crumb Rubber Liberty Tire Recycling has the capacity to produce more than 300 million pounds of crumb rubber annually for a wide variety of innovative uses. With a network of crumb rubber manufacturing locations, Liberty Tire produces a wide variety of mesh sizes with 30- as the finest. For certain applications—such as those required to make automotive parts and coatings—Liberty Tire provides crumb rubber as “feedstock” to companies that produce finely ground rubber powders. Product Innovations As manufacturers discover the value of recycled rubber and embrace the environmental impact of recycling, scrap tires continue to be shredded and ground into various sizes of powders, crumbs and nuggets for use in more and more products. • Welcome mats • Acoustical underlay • Railroad ties • Portable speed bumps • Anti-fatigue mats Beyond molded rubber products and coatings, recycled rubber is used to enhance road surfaces, power factories, beautify landscapes, protect children at play, and improve athletic surfaces.

  • Influence of Road Wetness on Tire-Pavement Rolling Resistance
    Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture 9 (2015) 1302-1310 doi: 10.17265/1934-7359/2015.11.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Influence of Road Wetness on Tire-Pavement Rolling Resistance Jerzy Ejsmont1, Leif Sjögren2, Beata Świeczko-Żurek1 and Grzegorz Ronowski1 1. Technical University of Gdańsk (TUG), Mechanical Faculty, Gdańsk 80 233, Poland 2. Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI), Linköping 581 95, Sweden Abstract: Rolling resistance of tires is one of the most important factors influencing energy consumption of road vehicles, especially on rural roads. For practical reasons, most of rolling resistance measurements are usually performed for dry road conditions. Based on the fact that roads are wet during a considerable time over the year and as part of the projects MIRIAM, ROLRES and ROSANNE, the TUG (Technical University of Gdańsk) in Poland and VTI (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute) in Sweden carried out trailer rolling resistance measurements on wet road surfaces to investigate water film influence on rolling resistance on different pavements. A specially-designed trailer to measure rolling resistance has been used. The test sections were both rural roads and an abandoned airfield equipped with water film sensors mounted in the pavement. Results indicate strong influence of test speed and water film depth, as well as influence of surface texture. The increase of rolling resistance on wet surfaces is caused by both hydrodynamic phenomena and cooling effect of water that decreases tire temperature thus increasing rolling resistance. Key words: Tires, rolling resistance, road wetness, water film. 1. Introduction parameter is precipitation. Considering road construction, the drainage performance and the Rolling resistance is one of the most important pavement design (material and structure) are the most functional properties of road pavements.

For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Project i Abstract Thailand’s National Science and Technology Development Agency is seeking to develop a successful program to manage approximately 600,000 tonnes of waste tires generated annually in Thailand. This project investigated Thailand-specific issues and options for a viable long-term waste tire management strategy. We evaluated current practices, potential technologies, and successful systems from foreign nations to draw conclusions and make recommendations regarding which technologies are most applicable to Thailand. We made additional recommendations concerning which aspects of a waste tire management system needed to be newly implemented or continued to be used and improved.
