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 at 2 inches or smaller, processed through 2-inch screens from waste tires collected across South Carolina. Our TDF meets the specifications required by major cement manufacturers and industrial buyers.
TDF Chips → High Carbon Black (rCB)
Our 2" or smaller TDF chips are an excellent feedstock for pyrolysis plants. When fed into a pyrolysis reactor, TDF chips produce high-quality recovered carbon black (rCB) — a valuable industrial material used in rubber manufacturing, coatings, and pigments. This creates a closed-loop system where waste tires become premium raw materials.
We sell TDF chips to pyrolysis plants as feedstock — contact us to discuss supply volume, specs, and pricing. Learn more about pyrolysis →

Who Uses TDF?
🏭 Cement Kilns
Major cement manufacturers use TDF as a cost-effective supplemental fuel. Our chips are kiln-ready.
📄 Paper Mills
Paper mills use TDF in their boilers to reduce coal dependency and lower fuel costs.
⚡ Power Plants
Utility-scale boilers can co-fire TDF with coal for significant energy and cost benefits.
⚫ Pyrolysis Plants
TDF chips are ideal feedstock for pyrolysis reactors producing high carbon black (rCB), pyrolysis oil, and steel wire. We sell TDF chips to pyrolysis plants.
