Liberty Tire Recycling - 2024 Sustainability Report

REDUCTION OVER TIME 2021 2022 2023 2024 ENERGY INTENSITY 2024 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Targeting Efficiency 14 Reducing Energy Intensity by 25% by 2032 Liberty tracks energy intensity by collecting monthly energy consumption through our energy management platform and production data. Sites are evaluated by operational complexity to accurately benchmark production and identify best practices. By focusing on energy intensity rather than total consumption, we are able to better understand the ways we utilize energy in each of our distinct operations. Efficiency improvements are measured against our 2021 baseline production sites, accounting for the transition period needed to implement Liberty’s efficiency driven processes at newly onboarded facilities. Energy Intensity is measured by MMBtu / Production Tons. To continue making progress and achieve a 25% reduction in energy intensity by 2032, we will focus on implementing improvements recommended by third-party Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) audits and installing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to allow for predictive analysis on critical machinery. Manufacturing Execution Systems Technology Liberty is implementing wireless sensors to monitor vibration and temperature on critical motors and drives. This predictive technology will help prevent premature equipment failure, reduce downtime, and minimize equipment disposal. Optimizing Energy Use Facility management is continuously looking for operational improvements that reduce energy usage. Opportunities such as better management of compressed air systems, leak identification, and converting legacy lighting to LED as bulbs burn out enhance sustainability and business efficiency. These improvements help by reducing energy intensity, lowering costs, and improving safety. In addition, the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) audits continue to offer additional recommendations for energy savings and operational improvements. REDUCING ENERGY INTENSITY HIGHLIGHTS BASELINE 1.84% As a privately held company, Liberty does not publicly disclose production data. The graph reflects energy intensity improvements across our baseline sites from 2021 through 2024.
