RMA to co-host ground rubber conference

April 5, 2010

The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) will co-host a conference on higher value-added ground rubber products that will be held Nov. 3-4.

The Scrap-to-Profit Conference will take place in Little Rock, Ark., and will discuss ground rubber markets like molded/extruded products, playground cover, mulch and more, according to RMA officials.

"The recycled rubber industry is facing many challenges today," says RMA Vice President Michael Blumenthal, "but we also believe there are many opportunities in the marketplace for recycled content rubber products. This conference provides stakeholders with valuable information and opportunities to share experiences to further assist the scrap tire market to become more profitable and stable."
