“…Retreading is a process of replacing the tread (outer layer of the tyre) with a new rubber layer by vulcanization [23]. To decide whether or not a tyre can tolerate the retreading process, firstly tyre treads need to be visually inspected.…”

Abstract:This article provides a review of different methods for managing waste tyres. Around 1.5 billion scrap tyres make their way into the environmental cycle each year, so there is an extreme demand to manage and mitigate the environmental impact which occurs from landfilling and burning. Numerous approaches are targeted to recycle and reuse the tyre rubber in various applications. Among them, one of the most important methods for sustainable environmental stewardship is converting tyre rubber components into bio-oil. In this study, scrap tyre management techniques including landfill, retreading, recycling, combustion, and conversion to liquid fuels was reviewed (including gasification, hydrothermal liquefaction, and pyrolysis). The effects of parameters such as reactor types, pyrolysis temperature, and catalyst on the oil, gas and solid products in pyrolysis process were investigated.

“…chains as those supply chains where is taken care of items once they are no longer desired or can no longer be used (Flapper et al [2005]). Increased legislation in the field of producer responsibility, take-back obligations and setting up collection and recycling systems leads to a strong focus on CLSC management.…”

“…A topic which is very often covered in this field is the recovery of used products, i.e. reverse logistics (see, e.g., Dyckhoff et al, 2004;Fleischmann et al, 1997), and the design and management of closed-loop supply chains which are supply chains taking care of items once they are no longer needed or used (Flapper et al, 2005). In this respect, it is usually assumed that by "closing the loop" a positive environmental performance is achieved.…”
