Recycling

We recycle (retread) our tires. Our quality retreads take only 30% of the energy used to make new tires. It takes 22 gallons of oil to produce a new tire; only 7 gallons are used to produce our quality retread.

Revolutionary tire retreading saves 15 gallons of oil per tire while maintaining quality and safety standards.

Efficiency & Conservation

We incorporate high-energy-efficient washers and dryers, as well as low-volume (low-flow) toilets, into our facilities. For water conservation, some facilities have been equipped with four-minute shut-off timers in our showers.

Every facility upgrade focuses on resource conservation and operational efficiency.
