Bob Winters is a former Officer and Director of RPA and its predecessor organization APRG. He was the President of Atlos Rubber, Inc. of Los Angeles, California which was in the tire recycling business for over forty years. Atlos Rubber recently shut its doors as it could not compete in the costly business environment or the market which has hit bottom due to influx of heavily subsidized foreign crumb rubber driving the California prices below actual production costs. Bob has many years of experience in the Asphalt-Rubber business as he jointly held patents with Charles McDonald in the late 60s and 70s. He marketed a product called "Overflex" which was primarily used in spray applications. He is currently seeking a seat on the California Integrated Waste Management Board. Because of his vast experience in tire recycling as well as Asphalt-Rubber paving materials, RPA is supporting his appointment. Bob can be reached at telephone 818-996-3234 or by fax at 818-996-8393.
