Dear Turlough,
Like everything else, it seems, in the world of environmental
management or waste management, scrap tire management is a world unto
itself -- there are magazines, newsletters, trade associations, etc. A
very good place to start is SCRAP TIRE NEWS <http://www.scraptirenews.com/>
Good luck.
