WASHINGTON (Feb. 27)—The Rubber Manufacturers Association is meeting March 4 with Mexican government officials at the Mexican Embassy to discuss the development of a comprehensive scrap tire management plan for Mexico.
Mexico currently has no national or state scrap tire programs, and the proliferation of scrap tires has become a major environmental problem for the country. The RMA also said it will present information on tire-derived fuel and the Mexican alternative fuel market at the Boiler & Industrial Furnace Conference in San Antonio in May.
