Alliance Recovery Corporation (ARC) has developed a way to turn trash into treasure. According to the company’s Web site, millions of pounds of rubber waste, including tires and other rubber products, are manufactured in densely populated areas; the municipality in each area is responsible for getting rid of that waste in a legal manner.
In a process that eliminates the disposal process and fees, ARC’s proprietary thermal technology converts rubber waste into fuel oil to electrical energy. The process minimizes emission levels, ensuring a clean and green way to dispose of the rubber. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) projects that global energy demand will rise 54% from 1997 to 2015; if that forecast is right, ARC is well on its way to join the ranks of companies developing environmentally friendly energy sources.
ARC recently announced it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Corbett Aggregate Corporation to lease vacant land and heavy industrial steel buildings in Salem, New Jersey. According to the statement, the two companies will work together to develop a final site plan for the waste-to-energy installation. The land’s close proximity to several large metropolitan markets drew ARC to the site; the markets surrounding Salem “generate vast amounts of rubber waste annually,” including scrap tires, which ARC intends converting into eco-friendly energy.
