The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery has awarded a $635,000 loan for tire recycling equipment to Tri-C Manufacturing Inc., West Sacramento, Calif. The loan will allow the company to create 13 new jobs and keep 2.6 million tires out of landfills.
“Not only does this loan help stimulate California’s economy through job creation, it helps protect the environment by giving scrap tires new life,” says Margo Reid Brown, CalRecycle’s acting director. “We look forward to helping other California businesses expand their operations in ways that reduce waste and encourage product reuse and recycling.”
Funding for the tire equipment loan comes from the Tire Recycling Management Fund.
Tri-C Manufacturing will use the loan to expand its crumb rubber processing operation. The loan will also pay for the completion of a production line including a conveyor system, a truck and tractor that meet state emission standards, and a magnetic cross belt separation system.
