Liberty Tire Recycling 2025 Sustainability Reports: More Tires Recycled, Lower Emissions, Higher Growth

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Tire Recycling today released its 2025 Sustainability Report along with its first public Climate Risk & Resilience Report aligned with the Task Force on Climate‑related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Together, the reports demonstrate how Liberty’s sustainability efforts are driving circularity, measurable operational progress and supporting long‑term business performance.

“At Liberty, sustainability is core to our operations and how we show up for our partners and communities,” said Thomas Womble, CEO of Liberty Tire Recycling. “We’re proud of the progress reflected in this report and grateful to our employees whose dedication makes it possible. We remain focused on continuing to drive progress through continued collaborative efforts with the manufacturers and retailers.”

In 2025, Liberty’s sustainability performance was recognized externally, including an EcoVadis Bronze rating, placing the company in the top third of companies assessed, as well as recognition through the Recircle Award for Circular Economy Innovation.

“We have said from day one—putting sustainability at the core of our operations would produce better results for the environment and our business,” according to Amy Brackin, Senior Vice President of Sustainability. “This year’s report continues to demonstrate that Liberty is a leader in both the tire recycling industry and the sustainability sector more broadly.”

Liberty delivered clear, measurable results across its operations. In 2025, improved energy, fuel, and resource management drove a 6% reduction in location‑based Scope 2 emissions, a 10% reduction in market‑based emissions, and an 8% improvement in energy intensity.

The company maintained an 81% utilization rate through beneficial reuse across 219 million tires collected.

These results also reflect Liberty’s continued focus on its workforce and communities. In 2025, the company reported an 11% reduction in Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) and a 9% relative reduction in employee turnover, alongside more than $216,000 donated to charitable initiatives.

The Climate Risk & Resilience Report represents a milestone for Liberty, outlining how climate‑related risks and opportunities are identified, assessed, and managed, and how these considerations are integrated into operational and strategic planning. The report reinforces the connection between sustainability, efficiency, and long‑term business resilience.
