Shredded Firestones Put To Use

Firestone tyres recalled in the USA are being put to good use, with rubber crumb used as artificial turf. A Montreal-based company called FieldTurf is producing the artificial turf for the Lions’ new stadium at Ford Field, Dearborn. A spokesperson for FieldTurf said that it had been specified that the rubber crumb came exclusively from Firestone tyres, in line with Bill Ford’s stance on corporate environmental responsibility.
