US infrastructure firm acquiring Liberty Tire Recycling

Miami, Florida – US infrastructure investment firm I Squared Capital is to acquire Liberty Tire Recycling from Energy Capital Partners – owner since 2021.

With 3,500 employees and over 50 facilities, Liberty is the “leading coast-to-coast tire recycling platform in North America,” I Squared said 14 Oct.

The recycler processes over 215 million end-of-life tires (ELTs) per annum, converting them into reusable materials for industrial, commercial, and consumer markets, it added.

I Squared said it intended to work with Liberty to invest in automation and technology to enhance efficiency and environmental performance and pursue strategic acquisitions that expand the company’s footprint and product offerings.

The investment reflects I Squared’s focus on building sustainable infrastructure platforms that drive both economic and environmental impact, said Gautam Bhandari, global chief investment officer and managing partner.
