Great news on the recycled tire front: CalRecycle, one of our favorite government organizations, is offering grants to fund a tire-derived product for public entities, private schools (with additional qualifications) and Community Housing Development Organizations throughout California. This includes Native American tribes, park districts, and public universities. We would love to see one of these entities get a grant, as a lot of them are the ones that need it most. However, we believe any entity (a full list can be seen
here) can make great use of these grants, especially using Rubber Bark™ :).
A few qualifications include:
• Products must be made from 100 percent recycled California waste tires
• Products must be "new," as in never before received CalRecyle funding
•Projects must divert a minimum of 2,500 California tires per project
The grants are available to apply for on October 27th and will be awarded in the spring of next year. For more information, go to CalRecycle's
page about the grants. Good luck!
