Tire Derived Fuel & Aggregate

Tire derived fuel (TDF) and tire derived aggregate (TDA) are the result of over 55% of the recycled tires in the USA. TDF is a coal additive that burns cleaner and at a higher BTU than coal. It is rarely burned by itself. TDA is used in civil engineering projects that require extra vibration and noise reduction.
Recycled rubber provides a solution for both. The amount of rubber being
used for TDF/TDA is shrinking do to the innovative products that are
being developed using recycled tires.

Tire derived aggregate (TDA) is recycled tires cut into size specific chips, and utilized for a wide range of public works projects and civil engineering applications.  The material provides the following characteristics:

  • Lightweight fill

  • Permeable, free-draining

  • Vibration mitigating

  • Low earth pressure

  • Good thermal insulator

  • Durable

  • Compressible

We sell TDA to meet the following material specifications:

  • TDA Type-A 2” minus

  • TDA Type-B 6” minus
