Abstract

The increasing population and quest for comfortness mandate economic development. The transportation sector plays a major role in connecting people and materials in all possible ways. The tires are the most common bulk waste generated from the transport sector. Research has been conducted on greening the production of tires and extending their durability of tires. The disposal of used tires grabs the attention of waste managers of any administration due to its characteristics. The waste tires in the dumpsites fuels fire accidents and the combustion of waste tires invite air pollution problems and the disposal of waste tires in water bodies leads to serious pollution issues. The process of waste tire utilization includes collection, shredding, steel liberation, cleaning, packing, and transportation to the processing unit. The material and energy recovery from the management of end-of-life tires encourages waste managers since the revenue generated from the resources will support the overall process. The end-of-life tire scraps can be used for various upcycling applications but establishing the local supply chain for the products from waste management encourages sustainability. The present article discusses the utilization of waste tires in construction and pyrolysis.
