This proposed partnership between Safe Tire (as a
tire disposal) and FRT (as a processor), and the
availability of waste water from the treatment plant
for non-potable water needs was an indication that an EIP on this site might be feasible. These resources
could be used to drive a whole set of industries.
Oklahoma City is a big generator of waste tires.
The park's proximity to Oklahoma City (approximately
13 miles) means a consistent and close supply
of waste tires as a resource to support eco-industrial
relationships. The challenge was to identify what
industries could utilize the waste water and the products
produced by FRT.
