Destination green through recycling used tires.
Recycled tires are all around you, and most people don't even know it. Here are just a few of the ways Lakin Tire and our partners transform discarded and used tires into practical products.

Civil Engineering Applications / Tire Derived Aggregate
Quieter roads, safer highways, better drainage, and stronger lightweight walls are just a few examples of innovative uses of the scrap tires we recycle. With our partners, we transform scrap tires into tire derived aggregate used in many civil engineering applications in our communities coast to coast. Projects include freeway construction in Riverside, CA and slide repair in Humbolt and Mendocino Counties.

Rubberized Asphalt
Rubber Asphalt is used to strengthen and enhance liquid asphalt in our nation’s roadways to improve skid resistance and reduce cracks and rutting of our roads. All while lowering the cost of maintenance with less materials and longer road life.

Tire Derived Fuel
From waste to power, Lakin Tire transforms scrap tires into materials used to power a range of industries. Cement processing plants, pulp and paper mills, power plants, waste-to-energy plants and industrial boilers all use raw materials derived from scrap tires to fuel their operations in the proper application. Used tires burn at very high temperatures. At these temperatures, tires burn cleaner than coal. Many states, including California have pushed industries to use more TDF in order to lower the emission of green house gases.
