I remember a post a long time ago about comments from John that tires would be made into different end products than plastics. If I remember correctly the sidewalls would be separated from the treads because they are made from different materials. I do not remember the end products he intended to produce from either part of the tire, but they were worth more money than if the tires were converted into diesel/ect.
Tires are not low hanging fruit, but we would probably get paid for disposal on top of the sales of the end products. Something to ponder for future expansion when market saturation of the high hydrocarbon "clean" input occurs if you ask me. There are mountains of tires around the US/world that are just piling up, and are great breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes were introduced into the US via tires shipped from South America years ago that "relish" broad daylight. I have heard nothing further about them and hope they were wiped out. Another note on piles of tires is that there is supposedly a tire fire somewhere in the USA. I have heard it will burn for about 15 years before it is done (cannot remember source). Do not underestimate the potential profit, and great PR that comes with the ability to get rid of tires and other waste that is not "ideal" input.
Who could ask for anything better? Fuel being produced from a product that is destined to end up in a land fill, and plastic manufacturers can get a bit of relief from bad PR about waste and pollution. EVERYBODY WINS!!!
