TRF (The Tire Recycling Foundation) has appointed Stephanie Mull as its executive director
Mull will lead the organisation’s efforts to drive innovation and invest in the circular tyre economy, grow end-of-life tyre markets, and support research to address gaps in the tyre recycling supply chain and sustainability.
Mull joins TRF with extensive experience in the sustainability sector and vast expertise in fleet management and decarbonisation, including transitioning fleets to alternative fuels and electric vehicles. In her most recent role as Sustainability Senior Manager at PepsiCo, she led initiatives on reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across Pepsi and Frito-Lay’s North American fleets, guiding large-scale electrification projects and securing grant funding. Mull led transitions of municipal fleets to cleaner technologies working in local government. She also assisted with the Red Cross’s fleet electrification effort in a volunteer role.
“I’m honoured to join the Tire Recycling Foundation and support its sustainability mission to achieve 100% end-of-life tyre circularity,” said Mull. “TRF is a vital nexus of expertise and leadership, and I look forward to working with all stakeholders in developing tire recycling solutions that pave the way for a more sustainable future.”
The Tire Recycling Foundation, led by the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) and the Tire Industry Association (TIA), is committed to securing funding and allocating grants for research, education, intervention and demonstration projects addressing critical gaps within the tyre recycling value chain across the United States. TRF’s Board includes 15 global industry leaders with deep knowledge and diverse expertise in manufacturing, recycling, transportation and sustainability. TRF’s leadership is guiding the Foundation’s strategic objectives to expand sustainable end-use markets and accelerate the adoption of proven and emerging technologies.
“Stephanie Mull brings the passion, in-depth expertise and history of excellence that will drive TRF and its partners to achieve critical tire recycling and reclamation milestones,” said Anne Forristall Luke, TRF Board President. “We are thrilled to have her join the Foundation as we advance tire sustainability while tackling the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
