Traxion bets $5M on Tennessee tyre recycling, adding 49 jobs
What's the deal? Traxion MaterialsDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → is expanding its tyre recycling operations in Campbell County, Tennessee, investing more than $5 million and creating 49 jobs in the town of Jacksboro. The project adds scrap tyre processing capacity to the company's existing regional network.
What does Traxion do? It runs a network spanning tyre collection, wholesale distribution, shredding, processing, and the supply of tyre-derived fuel (TDF). Its primary facility sits in LaFollette, Tennessee.
What's the endgame? The Traxion Tire LifeCycle Network reaches across Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, recovering end-of-life tyres across the southeastern US. Recovered material feeds back into tyre pyrolysis and other resource-recovery pathways, where it can be turned into recovered carbon black and other outputs.
Why now? The expansion reinforces the growing commercial role of tyre recycling in the region's industrial economy. It builds directly on the collection, shredding, processing, and TDF supply the network already performs.
The signal: Scrap tyres are increasingly treated as feedstock rather than waste, with operators sizing feedstock, logistics, and end-product markets before committing capital. Traxion's investment shows that recovering fuels and carbon black from end-of-life tyres is becoming a durable industrial business, not just a disposal service.
