Crumb Rubber Myths Put to Test at TIA Symposium

At the upcoming TIA Environmental Symposium, Mike Wezel, vice president of sales and marketing for Liberty Tire Recycling, will debunk myths about crumb rubber, its uses and its safety, reports Tire Review. The Environmental Symposium will be held 30 September-2 October at the Ocean City Convention Center in Ocean City, Md.

In his session, “Separating Myths from Facts Concerning the Use of Recycled Rubber Products,” Wezel will discuss how environmental activists and others continue to perpetuate myths and misconceptions concerning the use of recycled rubber in various rubber-based products, and how industry advocacy groups, associations, and leading tyre recycling companies are launching proactive campaigns to bring the facts to the forefront.
 
“There are many myths and outright distortions out there concerning the use of crumb rubber. Yet, this product has been studied thoroughly and has been declared safe. If you want to not only learn the truth about this product, but see how it might be beneficial, you need to be at the TIA Environmental Symposium,” said Dick Gust, TIA Environmental Advisory Council co-chair.
