Overview

Bolder Industries operates a material-science process that recovers high-value inputs from end-of-life tires, producing BolderBlack®, BolderOil™, BolderSteel™, and onsite power. The company says it recovers 98% of each tire and returns about 75% of solids and liquids into new tires, rubber goods, and plastics while using gases for energy. Bolder reports average savings of 85% or more in greenhouse gas emissions offsets and reduced water and power use versus traditional methods. Its Maryville, Missouri facility has been in 24/7 commercial operation since February 2019 and is being expanded to increase capacity by 2.5x by Q1 2022. Bolder has immediate plans for additional product facilities in the U.S., Europe, and other regions to meet rising customer demand. The company emphasizes contracts with major automotive, manufactured rubber, plastics, and sustainable petrochemicals partners and highlights its BCorp status and founding mandate from 2011.
