Company Description

Smart Tire Recycling Inc. has developed a pioneering, zero-emission process to cleanly recycle tires into reusable materials. Our process un-bakes the tire back into its original components, which can be used to manufacture new tires, thereby creating a truly circular economy. Our goal is to help solve the major global problem of the 1 billion tires disposed of annually. Our goal is to be at the forefront of the clean, tire-recycling industry and to be processing more than 18 Million tires annually contributing to the reduction in toxic emissions by nearly half a million metric tons of carbon dioxide and producing revenue in excess of $44 Million.  These projections cannot be guaranteed.

Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.
