Denise Kennedy OF RTA member DK Enterprises was awarded the Feedstock Conversion Technical Assistance and Material Testing Services Contract (DRR14019)
 
http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Contracts/Data/Detail.aspx?AdvertisementID=%201292
 
This Scope of Work (SOW) includes technical assistance for Tire-Incentive Program (TIP) eligible manufacturers that desire to implement feedstock conversion of products between July 2015 – April 2018.  This (SOW) also provides material testing services to support the TIP grant by ensuring consistent quality crumb rubber is used. The Tire Incentive Program (TIP) is designed to expand demand for different and higher value-added tire-derived products (TDP) by providing an incentive to use (at least five percent) recycled tire rubber (crumb rubber) to partially replace virgin rubber, plastic, or other raw material (also referred to as `feedstock conversion`) and to increase sales of products that already contain crumb rubber.

Denise will be happy to answer questions and provide additional information about the above. She can be reached by email to denise@dkenterprises.us or by telephone to (916) 706-3869.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

How one deals with obstacles is what separates
the men from the boys. No matter what field you are in
there will always be stumbling blocks. Don't think
about everything that can possibly go wrong.
Just put one foot ahead of the other and, step by step,
get everything done.
