2024 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Resource Management 10 Environmental oversight is led by the Director of Environmental Services, who ensures regulatory compliance and responsible practices for all Liberty locations. Liberty Tire Recycling’s primary focus in waste management is expanding the beneficial reuse of the tires we collect, as it is material to our operations and central to our zero-waste goal (see the Circularity section of this report for more details). In addition to these efforts, the company tracks and monitors all other waste streams through vendor reports and looks for opportunities to recycle other materials such as super sacks and wood pallets where possible. We actively monitor consumption through a utility management platform that alerts our sustainability and facility teams to any significant variance in usage. This enables us to respond quickly to anomalies and ensure responsible water use across the business and with specific focus in high water stress areas. Rainwater Recycling The West Haven, CT facility uses a rainwater recycling system to reduce water use and costs. Rainwater is collected in trenches and recycled into 250-gallon drums. Each drum filled provides approximately 10 hours of misting in our production process, supporting sustainability while cutting water consumption and costs.
