Purpose:

The Tire-Derived Product (TDP) Grant Program promotes markets for recycled-content products derived from waste tires generated in California and decreases the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires.

Description:

Eligible applicants include:

• Public entities include:     o California cities     o counties     o public school districts     o public colleges and universities     o special districts     o park or recreational districts     o state agencies (including offices, departments, bureaus, and boards)     o Qualifying Indian Tribes.

• Eligible Products:

Tire-derived products (TDP) must be made from only California-generated waste tires, processed in California and manufactured into a final product in California. For the purposes of this grant program, tire-derived products generally fall into three categories: agriculture/landscape, recreation, and transportation. Eligible products include, but are not limited to: Mulch, bark, weed abatement coverings, tree care products, horse stall mats, tracks, sidewalks/pathways, guard rails or components, railroad ties, sound barriers, and traffic safety products.

Additionally, end-of-life material (primarily crumb rubber or rubber nuggets/mulch that have served their initial purpose) may be reused or recycled into a variety of eligible products. The source of the end-of-life material (e.g., landscaping) must be located in California. Any necessary further processing of end-of-life material and any further manufacturing must take place in California.
