ReTyred Information

We use the term "waste" loosely at ReTyred, as we believe used rubber is an essential resource. ReTyred's commitment to partner shops: We will sustainably divert, transport, and store your "waste," while ensuring best "recycling" practices are used. Once we've filled our containers with 10,000 or more diverted tires, we coordinate with local, EPA-certified tire processors for collection, and the road to up-cycling begins! By ensuring our partners' "waste" rubber is converted into TDA, or Tire Derived Aggregate, ReTyred corners an untapped market, helping to expedite the creation of this much-needed component for Illinois's never-ending road maintenance operations! What about tires that still have usable tread, or tubes that still hold air, you ask? We've got you! Our partnership with local nonprofit Working Bikes helps ensure the up-cycling of collected tubes and tires. Not only can we further eliminate "waste," but we also make sure this key resource is diverted and donated to the best suitable application! Just think: your "waste" can unlock critical service access for people across the globe, and all it takes is to simply not throw it away! We all share this small, beautiful planet, and we owe it to each other to leave it better than we found it! Reduce, Reuse, ReTyred
