New York State’s Governor George E. Pataki announced that Recovery Technologies Group Inc, one of the largest tire recycling firm in North America, will establish three facilities in New York that will recycle a total of 6 million tires each year. The company plans facilities in Albany, Schenectady and Seneca County, which will create 100 new jobs.
Last year the company, based in Guttenberg, N.J., kept more than 40 million tires out of landfills. The company also handles tire recycling for companies such as Ford, Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. RTG currently operates 17 facilities in North America.
Martin Sergi, RTG’s president, said, "After considering many other areas for this expansion, RTG is delighted to be coming to New York State. Our integrated tire recycling program will enable New York to recycle tires into a variety of useful products including sports fields, mulch, asphalt and molded products."
RTG will lease 40,000 square feet of space in the City of Albany Empire Zone to establish an advanced tire recycling center that will create 50 new jobs. The plant will employ just-in-time manufacturing so that no tires will be stored on-site.
In Schenectady County, RTG will lease 40,000 square feet at the Rotterdam Industrial Park in the Schenectady Empire Zone to warehouse recycled crumb rubber. The Rotterdam facility will also be home to a new recycling process that will produce garden mulch out scrap tires creating 25 new jobs.
In Seneca County, RTG currently leases 90,000 square feet of space at the former Seneca Army Depot, also an Empire Zone. The company utilizes this space to store recycled crumb rubber for athletic fields and other product lines. The company plans to double its warehouse space in Seneca County and establish a tire recycling line creating 25 jobs.
No scrap tires will be stored at either the Schenectady or Seneca County operations.
