Abstract
Linda Chalker-Scott - Extension Horticulturist, Puyallup Research and Extension Center, Washington State University. According to the EPA, we discard 290 million scrap tires annually. Finding a market for these slow-to-decompose materials is desirable, and many innovative uses have been developed, including rubberized asphalt, playground surfaces, and landscape mulches. This webinar examined the scientific literature behind the efficacy and environmental safety of rubber mulches.
