1. Tire Management Forum & Interested Parties Meeting March 9, 2006 Mitch Delmage, Manager Tire Management Branch www.ciwmb.ca.gov California’s Approach to Tire Management

2. First the Good News  Unlike previous programs designed to promote recycling various materials, scrap tires can make good business sense.

3. Recycling in California  The 80s and 90s demonstrated that people would not buy products made from recycled materials just because it was the right thing to do.  It had to make economic sense too.

4. Subsidies and Mandates  With paper, glass, plastic, etc. the government forced the issue with purchasing requirements and tax incentives.  It met with limited success.

5. Now the Better News  All over the United State, Canada, and California, people are demonstrating that using scrap tires in variety of applications and products makes good fiscal and economic sense.

6. That is Our Theme for the Five Year Plan  Strengthen and expand markets for rubberized asphalt concrete, tire- derived aggregate, and other tire- derived products.  Not because it is the right thing to do, but because it makes sense.

7. Five Elements of the 5YP  Enforcement and Regulation  Cleanup and Remediation  Research and Development  Market Development  Hauling and Manifesting

8. How These Elements Fit Together  Enforcement, Hauling, and Manifesting level the playing field and protect California  Cleanup and Abatement remind us why our work is important  Research and Market Development help us build a new future.

9. We are the Jugglers  There are many pieces and parts in the Tire Industry  Previously we’ve dealt with one or two segments at a time  Our new approach outlined in the 5YP is to keep all the balls in the air at once

10. Now We Have Three Centerpieces  Technical Assistance through several sources  Economic and Business Management Assistance  Marketing and Outreach Assistance

11. Additional Assistance Grants, Loans, Contracts  Tire-Derived Product Grants  RAC Grants  Civil Engineering Grants  Local Government Grants  RMDZ Loans and Assistance  Contracts for Studies and Product Purchase
