US roads demonstrate Liberty Tire Recycling’s SmartMIX asphalt technology
In May 2022, Liberty Tire Recycling – one of the main providers of tire recycling services with over 35 locations in the United States and Canada – participated in a Michigan EGLE grant project with Clare County and Michigan Technological University using Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA) in a base layer of the roadway and SmartMIX rubber as an additive for the hot mix surface layer. The TDA was used in a section of the roadway with a swamp on both sides – providing a base layer that will not heave and shove due to winter freezing.
