Driving Sustainability: Our 2024 Retreading Results Are In!

Here at McCarthy Tire Service, we’re passionate about more than just delivering high-quality tires. We’re committed to driving sustainability and making a positive impact on our planet. One of the key ways we achieve this is through our robust tire retreading program, utilizing the industry-leading Bandag system.

Today, we’re thrilled to share our impressive sustainability results from our 13 retread plants in 2024. The numbers speak for themselves, and we couldn’t be prouder of the environmental benefits we’ve achieved.

Retreading: A Powerful Path to Sustainability

Retreading tires is a smart, sustainable practice that extends the life of a tire casing, reducing the need for new tire production. This not only saves valuable resources but also significantly reduces waste. In 2024, our efforts have yielded remarkable results:

• 523,924 Tires Retreaded: We successfully retreaded over half a million used tire casings, giving them a second life on the road.
• 7.8 Million Gallons of Oil Saved: By retreading, we significantly reduced the demand for new tire production, resulting in a substantial saving of precious oil resources.
• 15.5 Million Pounds of Tire Waste Reduced: Retreading directly prevents tires from ending up in landfills, leading to a significant decrease in tire waste.
• 21.7 Million Pounds of Total Waste Diverted: Beyond tires, our retreading process also helped divert other waste materials from landfills, contributing to a cleaner environment.
• Equivalent Energy Savings to Power Over 14 Million Homes for 1 Day: The energy savings from retreading are substantial, demonstrating the significant impact of this sustainable practice.
