Delta Energy to build tire recycling plant in Mississippi

Last week, Delta-Energy Group, a tire recycling company, announced that it will build a $45 million carbon reclaiming facility at a former International Paper facility in Natchez, Mississippi. The price includes $3.75 million for a building and 30 acres of land. The company formed a subsidiary company, Delta-Energy Natchez LLC, to operate the plant. Delta is a resource recovery company that recovers materials from scrap tires, including carbon solids and hydrocarbon liquids, which can then be used by downstream customers for use in rubber compounds and in the liquids-to-chemicals industry.
