"You don't need a lot of utilities using tire-derived fuel," Blumenthal said. "If you have one every other state, all the problems will go away real fast." The other large user of tire-derived fuel is the cement industry. Many cement kilns can use whole tires, incorporating the steel and fiber content into the cement mix.

Thirty-six U.S. cement companies use scrap tires for fuel as do plants in about 20 other countries. The second-largest market for scrap tires is ground rubber, a component in products ranging from rubberized asphalt to flower pots. About 400 million pounds of ground rubber were sold on the Chicago Board of Trade in 1996. Recycled Rubber Resources of Macon opened three years ago when owners Matt DeBasio and Richard Bethay decided to seek alternative markets for their product.

The plant produces a variety of products, including shock-absorbent mats and paving "tiles" for floors. "The biggest hurdle when you talk about a recycled product, they automatically think, said sales director Larry Gillian. "Every year there's something new that's not only a superior product but f's'" fj si's'; hi'l ri fi I. tires in the United States, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Many of them are stockpiled in illegal dump sites. Missouri is estimated to have 5.5 million waste tires in dumps, said Dan Fester, head of the waste-tire unit of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. "We are not a problem compared to other states," Fester said. of these things are small, less than 10,000 tires, which is not that big an area. They are mostly in rural areas back in the woods where nobody sees them." And ever' year, the numbers grow by an estimated one tire per person.

The good news is that in Missouri, and throughout the nation, fewer tires are winding up in dumps and landfills, a success story driven largely by the growth of the scrap-tire industry. The three primary market segments for scrap tires are tire-derived fuel, ground rubber and civil engineering applications. Tire-derived fuel promises to be the largest market for scrap tires. In Missouri two power plants and two cement kilns are using scrap-tire fuel Union Electric's Sioux Power The Associated Press Donny Haight moves a bale of tires to its resting spot with nearly a million other used tires at Recycling Industries of Missouri near Fulton.

Since the first automobiles were equipped with rubber wheels at the turn of the century, car owners have disposed of their worn-out tires by throwing them into ditches, rolling them into rivers or lakes or hauling them to city dumps. About the time new technology and environmental concerns forced 'the conversion of city dumps to scientifically designed landfills, most states adopted laws regulating tire disposal. Since 1991, Missouri retail-'ers have been required by law to accept old tires on a one-to-one basis when customers buy new ones, with most tacking a disposal fee onto the imceofthe new tire.

'-'In Missouri, whole tires are -'banned from landfills. Curiously, tires quartered or sliced in half may be placed in landfills. But for generations the mounds of ilack rubber, slow to deteriorate, 'grew larger and larger.
