“…The sector is in a compelling need of looking for an innovative and decisive solution to increase the competitiveness of tires recycling. The rubberized concrete has the advantages of low density [43], good sound absorption [33], acid resistance [13,14], freezethaw resistance [44], chloride permeability resistance [45,46], increased damping capacity, bending impact strength and toughness [31,[47][48][49]. These advantages make the rubberized concrete attractive for applications such as lightweight concrete [50][51][52], non-bearing concrete walls [53], noise screen [33,45,51], improved thermal insulation for flooring in buildings [54,55], reinforced concrete jersey barriers [38,56,57], pavement [38,58,59], railway track beds [60], reinforced column for earthquake-resistant structures [45,61,62], rubberized concrete beams with high impact resistance [63,64], expansion joints in the concrete floor [65], steel tubes filled with rubberized concrete [66,67].…”

This state-of-the-art review was aimed to conduct a comprehensive literature survey to summarize experiences of crumb rubber (CR) application in concrete within the last 30 years. It shows that certain gaps prevent obtaining a coherent overview of both mechanical behaviour and environmental impact of crumb rubber concrete (CRC) to object to the stereotypes which prevent to use of CR in concrete in the construction industry. Currently, four major barriers can be distinguished for a successful CR application in the concrete industry: (1) the cost of CR recycling, (2) mechanical properties reduction, (3) insufficient research about leaching criteria and ecotoxicological risks and (4) recyclability of CRC. The application of CR in concrete has certainly its advantages and in general cannot be ignored by the construction industry. CR can be applied, for example, as an alternative material to replace natural aggregates and CRC can be used as recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) in the future. A certain diversity for the CR application can be introduced in a more efficient way when surface treatment and concrete mix design optimization are properly developed for each type of CR application in concrete for possible field applications. The role of CRC should not be limited to structures that are less dependent on strength.

Waste tires have been identified as one of the contributors to environmental problems and the issue of inadequate landfill spaces. The lack of consistent and systematic approaches such as specific regulations/laws or mechanisms of waste management to waste tires, limited application of technology for recycling waste tires and lack of awareness on the impacts of waste tires problem, make waste tires a source of environmental pollution. Various researches have been conducted on recycling waste tires into polymer bends, and materials to harden concretes, fuels and adsorbent. Researchers suggested that pyrolysis is the current trend of recycling waste tire to harvest the saleable pyrolysis oil and the recycled carbon black. Therefore, this review attempts to compile relevant knowledge about the potential of adsorbent derived from waste tires to be applied in the removal of various types of pollutants like heavy metals, organic pollutants, dye and air/gaseous pollutant. Studies were carried out on revealing the properties and the characteristics of activated carbon derived from waste tire as effective adsorbent which influence the application performance at liquid or gas phase. In addition, the challenges in the production of activated carbon derived from waste tire were discussed.

“…The increasing consumption of petroleum-based resources [8] exacerbates the energy crisis. In addition, a large number of wastes from the rubber industry, as discarded tires [9][10][11], sealing caps [12,13], soles [14], etc., brought great challenges to environmental protection, human health, and economic development [15]. It is difficult for these waste rubber with covalent crosslinking threedimensional network structures to be degraded.…”
