Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.

Barriers: B5-Barriers to P2 B5 - Specific regulatory/permit burdens.
|
Barriers to P2: B5 - Specific regulatory/permit burdens. - unable to send it for tire derived fuel due to regulatory restrictions for rubber other than tires. |

Barriers: B5-Barriers to P2 B5 - Specific regulatory/permit burdens.
|
Barriers to P2: B5 - Specific regulatory/permit burdens. - Scrap rubber can not be recycled as tire derived fuel due to permitting issues that only allow for tires to be used, even though this rubber is the same compound as tires. |

Barriers: B5-Barriers to P2 B5 - Specific regulatory/permit burdens.
|
Barriers to P2: B5 - Specific regulatory/permit burdens. - The zinc is contained in our rubber products that we produce. Currently it is very difficult to recycle our rubber scrap due to the products being reinforced with yarn. A solution for recycling this scrap is to burn it, like tire-derived fuel. But, many companies can not do this because the regulations and permits will not allow it since it is not a tire. Our products are rubber hoses for automotive, like radiator and heating/cooling hoses. If the regulation would allow for this to be used like tire derived fuel, we would be able to recycle at least 90% of our overall waste from the facility. Until then, we keep trying to find a market for it to be recycled in a more traditional manner. |

Other Environmental Practices - Continually searching for new recyclers for rubber scrap material, as it is not an easy material to recycle with traditional methods.
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Source Reduction activities were implemented but were not successful. Finding a recycling company for this rubber scrap is very difficult. |
