What Is Tire-Derived Fuel?
Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF) is shredded waste tire material used as a supplemental fuel source in cement kilns, paper mills, industrial boilers, and power plants. Pound for pound, TDF contains more energy than coal — making it an efficient and cost-effective alternative fuel.
Eco Tire Solutions produces market-ready TDF chips ranging from 152.4mm (6") down to 44.45mm (1¾") processed from waste tires collected across South Carolina. Our TDF meets the specifications required by major cement manufacturers and industrial buyers.
