A Review on Management of End of Life Tires (ELTs) and Alternative Uses of Textile Fibers

Annually, approximately 3 billion tires are commercially transacted worldwide each year and an equivalent amount is disposed of by the end their life. Despite increase in life global economic pandemic crisis, number discarded going to rise further due increasing demand for vehicles (approximately 5 2030). The obsolete methods tire disposal, including landfill, burning, etc., a responsible environmental issues (harmful substances production, air soil pollution) transmission various diseases. Nowadays, 70% total at (ELTs) recovered. largest percentage recovered ELTs intended energy production or recovery as fuel cement industries can be used materials. A significant 95%) reused. products from processing fragments different sizes types, including: Trimmed rubber (70% weight), steel wire (5–30% fluff textile fibers (up 15% weight). From aforementioned materials, wires mainly numerous applications. However, current ways utilizing these materials will have adapt change near future, order comply with stricter regulations. purpose study sufficiently review recent progress on management ELTs, focusing alternative uses such additive sound absorbing bituminous conglomerates, concrete plastic reinforcement, etc.
