ST. LOUIS, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Accella Tire
Fill Systems™, a Carlisle Company, (www.AccellaTireFill.com)
has reinforced its corporate commitment to supporting sustainable
resources, and has once again pledged to provide essentially needed
seedlings to help regrow the important environmental habitats
crucial for the survival and livelihood of America's most
endangered natural forests. Since 1971, Accella Tire Fill
Systems has been leading the industry with its production of
environmentally friendly alternatives to keep industrial
Off-the-Road (OTR) tires functional, flat-free and on the job.
Complementing their production of eco-safe technology, the
brand has additionally, for the past decade, supported the efforts
of American Forests, the nation's oldest conservancy, to replant
and reforest many of the country's treasured wilderness areas that
have been devastated by wildfires or other disasters.
This month, Accella Tire Fill Systems proudly recommitted to its
partnership with American Forests through the brand's "One Tote,
One Tree" program, which funds the
supply, planting and nurturing of seedlings to help expand and
rejuvenate U.S. forest land. This assistance is provided via
Accella's OEM and dealer network, which allots one forest seedling
toward the program for each 'tote' of the company's TyrFil™
flatproofing product that's purchased.
The latest partnership effort will benefit an area of the lower
Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a
fertile delta that is part of the Rio Grande River region that once
was lush with a healthy native thornscrub forest, but is now only a
fraction of its former size. This rare and unique habitat
supports more than 500 species of songbirds, 300 species of
butterflies, and 11 other threatened and endangered species like
the small wildcat ocelot, which calls the area home.
Aggressive urban development and agriculture cultivation have
led to the demise of most of the thornscrub forest, now at less
than 10% of its original size. The ecosystem is like no other
in America and the future of the many animals that are indigenous
to this region is now gravely compromised.
"We are thrilled and grateful for Accella Tire Fill System's
ongoing support over the last decade to replenish and rejuvenate
these amazing forests and wetlands that support so much threatened
wildlife," stated Jad Daley,
president and CEO of American Forests. "This type of
responsible commitment often offers the last line of support to the
sustainability of these invaluable habitats, which have been
disappearing at an alarming and critical rate."
Accella Tire Fill System's commitment to preserving the
environment started many years before their involvement with
American Forests. For more than 45 years, Accella has led the
market by pioneering the most eco-friendly tire flatproofing choice
on the market for industrial, construction, waste management and
mining vehicles, and other OTR equipment. The TyrFil™
flatproofing product line, which may be pumped into pneumatic tires
to replace air with a resilient, synthetic elastomer core, ensures
robust tire performance and extended life while preventing solid
tire waste from going into our already rapidly filling landfills.
Additionally, Accella's Recycling Technology is designed to
allow end-users to grind up old cured polyurethane tire fill for
repurposing—enabling TyrFil™ product to be easily recycled for
extended usability (another environmentally preferred option that
is not possible with solid rubber tires).
"Accella Tire Fill Systems is proud to continue to support the
exceptional work and services that American Forests has been
providing for more than 140 years to protect and replenish the many
devastated treasures that Mother Nature alone can't independently
support," said Accella Tire Fill System Vice President and General
Manager, Mike Arnold. "Our
dealer partners have warmly embraced our 'One Tote, One Tree' campaign and are truly the backbone of
this incredible program that has done so much to help our Planet
maintain an ideal home and habitat for so many special and precious
creatures and vegetation."

About Accella Tire Fill Systems, a Carlisle Company
Accella Tire Fill Systems, a Carlisle Company. Accella
Tire Fill System's TyrFil™ flatproofing, also known as "foam fill,"
can be pumped into off-the-road (OTR) pneumatic tires to replace
air with a resilient, environmentally preferred, elastomer core
that completely eliminates dangerous flat tires in commercial and
industrial heavy equipment vehicles. TyrFil™ transfers
significantly less g-force resulting in a smoother, safer ride
compared to solid aperture tires. Excessive g-force transmission,
commonly known in the industry as Solid Shock, can produce
premature damage to the equipment and injury to the operator. With
TyrFil™ flatproofing, "We Keep the World Rolling."
