“…In this regard, countries within the EU, such as Spain, Sweden and France, have achieved 100.0% recycling rates since 2011 [19], and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system has proved to be a suitable mean to accomplish this objective. This system can be adapted to Mexico and Russia as it was performed in Colombia [21]; however, it is important to consider the following difficulties:…”

“…Although the EU has left the method of implementing the directives at the discretion of the member countries, and with the deadlines for the implementation of the rapidly approaching directives, recycling rates are expected to increase in establishing the viable industry [53].

“…In this regard, the countries that have achieved a 100.0% recycling rate (i.e., Spain, Sweden and France) have operated under the Extended Producer Responsibility system [19]. This system uses economic incentives to encourage manufacturers to design environmentally friendly products by making them responsible for the costs associated with their disposal at the end of their useful life.…”

“…In this regard, recycling is one of the elements within a waste management system and an effective waste management system is crucial to address the problems caused by used tires. As reported in [32], there are five key factors highlighted by the United Nations that must be present for the establishment of waste management systems: As reviewed in Table 1, there have been works on the analysis and development of strategies for tire waste management considering these factors in specific countries [19,21,[29][30][31]. Thus, regional legislation plays an important role in the successful implementation of these strategies.…”

Reverse Logistic Strategy for the Management of Tire Waste in Mexico and Russia: Review and Conceptual Model

Management of tire waste is an important aspect of sustainable development due to its environmental, economical and social impacts. Key aspects of Reverse Logistics (RL) and Green Logistics (GL), such as recycling, re-manufacturing and reusable packaging, can improve the management of tire waste and support sustainability. Although these processes have been performed with a high degree of efficiency in other countries such as Japan, Spain and Germany, the application in Mexico and Russia has faced setbacks due to the absence of guidelines regarding legislation, RL processes, and social responsibility. Within this context, the present work aims to develop an integrated RL model to improve on these processes by considering the RL models from Russia and Mexico. For this, a review focused on RL in Mexico, Russia, Japan and the European Union (EU) was performed. Hence, the integrated model considers regulations and policies performed in each country to assign responsibilities regarding RL processes for the management of tire waste. As discussed, the implementation of efficient RL processes for the management of tire waste depends of different social entities such as the user (customer), private and public companies, and manufacturing and state-of-the-art approaches to transform waste into different products (diversification) to consider the RL scheme as a total economic system.

Waste tire remanufacturing: Quantitative‐aided qualitative sustainability analysis

Waste tires contain a large amount of embodied energy and useful materials that can be recovered. In an existing remanufacturing process, the waste tire components are separated, thermomechanical devulcanization is used to restore the formability of the waste rubber for recycling, and waste rubber powder is mixed with chemical agents and subjected to hot rolling and extrusion to form rubber sheet products. Here, the quadruple‐bottom‐line sustainability of this remanufacturing process was studied for the first time based on the global availability of waste tires, and four technical alternatives based on different levels of automation and order of the processing steps were evaluated. The numbers of each machine for separating the tire components and processing the rubber were optimized. Quantitative sustainability analysis was conducted to calculate the sustainability index (SI) of four remanufacturing alternatives based on the technological feasibility of each processing step. Furthermore, a quantitative–qualitative sustainability assessment was performed to weight a criteria performance matrix of the technical alternatives qualitatively to overcome the lack of experience in the field. Waste‐tire remanufacturing has final SI values of ∼0.69–0.79, which exceed literature threshold values, indicating that it is a sustainable business strategy.
