Tire Grants

Tire-Derived Product Business Assistance Program (TBAP)

The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) offers this grant program to eligible businesses in an effort to improve the operational and cost efficiencies of tire-derived product (TDP) business by providing technical and consultative assistance. This program also seeks to expand market demand by emphasizing the development of new products from existing businesses and/or the production of an existing product with recycled California tire rubber rather than virgin material.
