"The topic of this year's symposium is the evolution of tire recycling, which correlates closely with the work we do at Liberty Tire Recycling," said Jeffrey Kendall, CEO of Liberty Tire Recycling.  "We strive to use innovation to develop smart, eco-friendly products made from the recycled rubber of reclaimed tires. We look forward to discussing our company's successes in the industry, as well as learning from other industry leaders throughout the conference."    

During the closing session of the symposium on Friday, October 1, Kendall will share his views on the current state of the tire recycling industry, as well as his vision for the future when he serves as a panelist with other top industry experts.

Additionally, Brad Pittam, general manager of LTR Products, a subsidiary of Liberty Tire Recycling, will serve as one of the moderators for "Much Ado About Mulch," a program session being offered at the conference on Thursday, September 30.  LTR Products recently launched Pinnacle Rubber Mulch, an innovative alternative to traditional wood mulch for landscaping and playground surfacing.

Recently, Liberty Tire Recycling provided the raw materials for the largest installation of crumb rubber in the entire province of British Columbia. Crumb rubber made from the company's recycled scrap tires was used to create the turf field at Empire Fields Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia, which is home to the British Columbia Lions football team and Vancouver White Caps Soccer Club.  

Liberty Tire reclaims more than 110 million tires annually throughout the U.S. and Canada, creating about 1.5 billion pounds of recycled rubber for smart, sustainable products including rubberized asphalt, rubber mulch and synthetic athletic fields.
