Cement kilns keep tire derived fuel growing even as boilers and paper mills step back
Scrap tires sold as fuel generated USD 412.60 Million worldwide in 2025, and Radial Insights expects the tire derived fuel market to reach USD 426.88 Million in 2026 and USD 579.77 Million by 2035, a 3.46% CAGR. Tire derived fuel, or TDF, remains the single largest outlet for end-of-life tires in the United States and a core recovery route across Europe and Asia.
The study values processed and whole scrap tires sold or transferred for energy use in cement kilns, pulp and paper mills, utility and industrial boilers, and steel and foundry furnaces. Values are measured at the processor gate, including tipping-fee offsets passed through in fuel prices. We exclude tire pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black, crumb rubber sold for products, and tires landfilled or stockpiled, which Radial Insights covers in separate studies.
The Tire Derived Fuel market rests on a simple energy case. US EPA data put scrap tire heat content at 12,000 to 16,000 Btu per pound, above the 11,000 to 13,000 Btu per pound of coal, and cement kilns burn tires completely while binding the steel bead wire into clinker. That keeps cement makers, who are under pressure to cut coal use, as the anchor buyers.
Stockpile Remediation is the fastest-growing supply channel at 5.86% a year, helped by a March 2026 EPA proposal that would let cement kilns burn recovered abandoned tires without shredding and de-wiring them first. Asia Pacific (APAC) is the fastest-growing region at 5.25%, while North America remains the largest at a 34.20% share.
Growth is capped by air permit fights, renewable energy rule changes and competition from material recycling. Washington's Puget Sound Clean Air Agency blocked a plan to raise tire fuel use at a Seattle cement plant in 2026, and Michigan removed TDF from its renewable energy list, showing that local policy can shift volumes quickly.

Processed chips lead, whole tires lose ground by form
Shredded tire chips, usually two inches or smaller and partly de-wired, suit most kiln and boiler feed systems and grow at 3.72%. Crumb and fine-size TDF grows fastest by form at 4.26% because precalciner and main burner firing need smaller particles. Whole tires, fed at the kiln inlet, grow at only 1.84% since few new kilns are designed for whole-tire injection and some permits cap whole-tire rates.
Cement kilns pull ahead of paper mills and utilities by end user
Cement kilns grow at 4.18% as producers replace coal and petcoke to meet carbon targets. Steel and foundry use, at 3.35%, benefits from tires as a carbon and iron source in electric arc furnaces. Utility and industrial boilers grow at 2.07% and pulp and paper mills at 1.62%, held back by coal boiler retirements and mill closures in North America and Europe.
Off-the-road tires grow fastest by source
Off-the-road tires grow at 4.47% as mining regions such as Western Australia build shredding capacity for giant tires that were once buried on site. Truck and bus tires, at 3.61%, and passenger and light truck tires, at 3.28%, follow replacement tire volumes and collection rates.
Stockpile cleanups outpace normal collection by supply channel
Stockpile remediation grows at 5.86% from a small base, supported by state cleanup funds and the 2026 EPA proposal. Domestic collection, the bulk of supply, grows at 3.31%. Imported scrap tires grow at 2.48%, slowed by export limits in Australia and import debates in India.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Private equity consolidates North American processors
I Squared Capital agreed in October 2025 to buy Liberty Tire Recycling from Energy Capital Partners. Liberty processes more than 215 million tires a year at more than 50 facilities. In July 2026, Liberty agreed to acquire All American Tire in Texas, Colt Tire Recycling in Louisiana and Genan's Houston operation, extending its reach across the Gulf Coast, where several cement kilns buy TDF.
Off-the-road tires move from burial to processing
Tyrecycle opened Australia's first dedicated off-the-road tyre recycling plant at Port Hedland, Western Australia, in 2025, with capacity of 30,000 tonnes a year. Mining tyres were long buried on site, so dedicated shredding opens new feedstock for energy recovery and material uses.
Cement associations push alternative fuel substitution
The Global Cement and Concrete Association published its Net Zero Action and Progress Report 2025/26 at COP30 in November 2025, reporting that alternative fuel use in cement is 12 times the 1990 level. Cembureau members in Europe already reached a 58% alternative fuel substitution rate in 2022, and tires remain one of the most energy-dense options.
Scrap tire trade comes under review
In January 2025, India's Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association asked the government to ban scrap tyre imports after they rose from 264,000 tonnes in FY21 to 1.398 million tonnes in FY24. Most provisions of the EU Waste Shipment Regulation began to apply in May 2026, with export rules following in May 2027.
Restraints and Challenges
Air permits and community opposition
Ash Grove Cement's Seattle plant shows how fragile kiln permits can be. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency approved a change in December 2025 removing a 30% cap on tires in the fuel mix, community groups appealed in January 2026, and in 2026 the agency blocked a rise to 37% citing cadmium emissions. The plant stays at 30%, about 1.2 million tires a year.
Renewable energy credits are being withdrawn
Michigan removed TDF from its list of renewable energy sources under a 2023 law, and biomass plants in Genesee and Grayling stopped burning tires in early 2024. Michigan generates about 10 million scrap tires a year, and more than half were burned for energy in 2023, so the change shifts volume to other markets or out of state.
Export restrictions limit seaborne TDF flows
Australia allows waste tyres to be exported only as shreds or crumb of 150 mm or less under a licence, and bans whole and baled tyre exports, as set out by the Australian Government DCCEEW. Tyre Stewardship Australia reported that about 75% of recovered material in 2023-24 was exported, mainly as shreds for energy recovery, so tighter rules would cut that flow.
Competition from material recovery and pyrolysis
Ground rubber took 28% of US end-of-life tires in 2023, close to TDF's 33%, according to the USTMA end-of-life tire report. Pyrolysis and recovered carbon black projects also compete for the same feedstock, and circular economy policy in Europe ranks material recovery above energy recovery.
Growth Drivers
Cement decarbonization favors energy-dense waste fuels
Cement makers need to cut fossil fuel use, and scrap tires deliver 12,000 to 16,000 Btu per pound, more than coal's 11,000 to 13,000 Btu per pound. EPA data show US cement kilns burned about 43 million tires in 2023, ahead of 31 million at pulp and paper mills and 11 million at electric utilities. The GCCA reported in November 2025 that alternative fuel use is 12 times its 1990 level, and Cembureau members reached 58% substitution in 2022. Holcim, Heidelberg Materials, CEMEX and UltraTech Cement all publish alternative fuel goals. Radial Insights estimates that cement kiln demand alone adds about +1.6% of annual growth to the Tire Derived Fuel market over the forecast.
US federal rule change opens stockpile tires to kilns
On March 23, 2026, the US EPA proposed amending its non-hazardous secondary materials rules so that scrap tires, including tires recovered from abandoned piles, burned in cement kilns count as non-waste fuel without first being shredded and de-wired. EPA estimates savings of USD 11.6 Million to USD 19.2 Million a year, and comments closed in May 2026. USTMA counts about 48 million tires still in US stockpiles. If finalized, this rule makes cleanup tires cheaper to use and lifts the market's CAGR by an estimated 0.5 points, mostly through the Stockpile Remediation channel growing at 5.86%.
Rising end-of-life tire volumes and stewardship schemes
EPA data show 264 million US tires reached end of life in 2023, with 207 million, or 79%, recycled or used as fuel. Tyres Europe reports a 95% collection and treatment rate for scrap tyres, with energy recovery taking 55% in the UK, 59% in France, 56% in Italy and 34% in Germany. Tyre Stewardship Australia recorded about 537,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres in 2023-24, with 66% recovered. Extended producer responsibility in India and new collection schemes in Southeast Asia, the Gulf and Africa widen the supply base. We credit this volume effect with roughly +1.0% a year of market growth, strongest in APAC and Africa.
Opportunities
Fine-size TDF for precalciner firing
Processors that can supply clean, wire-free fine-size TDF to precalciners and main burners can win higher prices than coarse chips. Crumb and fine-size TDF grows at 4.26% a year, and new shredding lines in Texas, Louisiana and Western Australia are well placed for this product.
Mining region partnerships
Off-the-road tyre recycling at Port Hedland shows a model for Chile, Peru, Indonesia and South Africa, where mining tyres pile up near cement plants that could use them as fuel.
North America leads tire derived fuel use while Asia Pacific grows fastest
Regional demand depends on kiln capacity, permit rules and the share of scrap tires routed to material recycling.
North America
North America held a 34.20% share of the Tire Derived Fuel market in 2025, worth USD 141.11 Million, and should reach USD 179.75 Million by 2035 at a 2.45% CAGR. US kilns burned about 43 million tires in 2023, and Liberty Tire Recycling's processing network of more than 50 facilities anchors supply. Michigan's renewable energy change and Seattle permit limits keep North American growth modest.
Europe
Europe accounted for 27.50% of the market in 2025, or USD 113.47 Million, and is projected to reach USD 140.36 Million by 2035 at 2.15% a year. Energy recovery takes 59% of end-of-life tyres in France and 55% in the UK, but EU waste hierarchy rules favor material recovery, which slows European growth.
Asia Pacific (APAC)
Asia Pacific (APAC) represented a 28.40% share in 2025, about USD 117.18 Million, and is set to reach USD 195.46 Million by 2035 at a 5.25% CAGR, the fastest of any region. India imported 1.398 million tonnes of scrap tyres in FY24, and Australia generated about 537,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres in 2023-24, much of it exported as shreds to Asian kilns.
Latin America
Latin America held 4.60% of the market in 2025, around USD 18.98 Million, rising to USD 28.50 Million by 2035 at 4.15% a year. CEMEX co-processes alternative fuels in its Mexican kilns, and Brazil and Mexico both run tire collection programs that supply cement plants.
Middle East
The Middle East made up 2.90% of 2025 value, or USD 11.97 Million, and should reach USD 19.21 Million by 2035 at a 4.85% CAGR. Large cement capacity in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt's neighbors gives the region room to add tire fuel as collection improves.
Africa
Africa accounted for 2.40% of the market in 2025, worth USD 9.90 Million, and is expected to reach USD 16.21 Million by 2035 at 5.05% a year. South Africa and North Africa account for most current use, where cement kilns are the main outlet for collected tyres.
| Region | 2025 (USD Million) | 2025 share | 2035 (USD Million) | CAGR 2025-2035 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North America | 141.11 | 34.20% | 179.75 | 2.45% |
| Europe | 113.47 | 27.50% | 140.36 | 2.15% |

Recent Developments
In September 2026, it was reported that the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency had blocked Ash Grove Cement's plan to raise tire fuel use at its Seattle plant from 30% to 37%, citing cadmium emissions.
In July 2026, Liberty Tire Recycling agreed to acquire All American Tire, Colt Tire Recycling and Genan's Houston operation.
In March 2026, the US EPA proposed letting cement kilns burn recovered abandoned scrap tires as non-waste fuel without prior shredding and de-wiring.
In November 2025, the Global Cement and Concrete Association released its Net Zero Action and Progress Report 2025/26 at COP30.
In October 2025, I Squared Capital agreed to acquire Liberty Tire Recycling from Energy Capital Partners.
In May 2025, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection approved TDF as a supplemental fuel at Stronghold Digital Mining's Panther Creek plant.
Processors control tire derived fuel supply while cement majors control demand
The Tire Derived Fuel market has two sides. Collectors and processors gather scrap tires, earn tipping fees and sell chips or whole tires as fuel. Cement groups, paper mills and utilities buy that fuel under multi-year contracts tied to permits. Scale in collection and proximity to kilns decide margins, so the industry is consolidating around a few large processors.
North American processors
Liberty Tire Recycling is the largest North American scrap tire processor, handling more than 215 million tires a year at over 50 sites, and moved to I Squared Capital ownership in 2025. Its 2026 purchases of All American Tire, Colt Tire Recycling and Genan's Houston unit deepen its Gulf Coast supply. Emanuel Tire collects and processes tires in the Mid-Atlantic and sends baled tires to sister companies in India.
International recyclers
Tyrecycle is a leading Australian collector and processor and runs the Port Hedland off-the-road tyre plant. Genan, based in Denmark, is known for large-scale rubber granulate production. Contec, in Poland, processes end-of-life tyres into fuel and material products. These firms balance TDF sales against higher-value material outputs depending on local prices.
Cement and industrial buyers
Ash Grove Cement, part of CRH, burns about 1.2 million tires a year at its Seattle kiln. Holcim, Heidelberg Materials, CEMEX and UltraTech Cement co-process alternative fuels across large kiln networks and set targets for thermal substitution. Their purchasing decisions shape regional TDF prices more than any single processor.
Power and other users
Stronghold Digital Mining won Pennsylvania approval in May 2025 to use TDF at its Panther Creek coal-waste plant. Pulp and paper mills and utility boilers remain buyers, but closures and coal phase-outs mean this group is shrinking as a share of the market.

Primary Interview Insights
Why do cement plants keep buying TDF?
Kiln managers told us tires are one of the few waste fuels with energy content above coal and steady quality. They said permit limits, not price, usually cap how much they can burn.
How will the EPA stockpile proposal change supply?
Processors said the rule could bring abandoned tire piles into kilns at lower cost because de-wiring is the most expensive step. Several expect state cleanup programs to speed up if it is finalized.
Is demand moving toward finer TDF?
Buyers told us fine, wire-free chips let them fire tires in the precalciner instead of only at the kiln inlet. They pay more per tonne for that product.
How do community objections affect volumes?
Plant operators said air permit appeals can freeze increases for a year or more. They now run longer stakeholder outreach before asking for higher tire rates.
Does material recycling threaten TDF supply?
Processors told us crumb rubber pays more when asphalt and turf demand is strong, but TDF absorbs the volume those markets cannot take. They see the two as balancing outlets rather than direct rivals.
