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.

“…Endof-life tires have become a voluminous problem in many countries, stockpiles tires in Japan 1,000,000 tons and 3,750,000 in United States that need to be taken care of in order to reduce the risk of fire and environmental concern from leachate in stockpiles [4]. More than 273 million scrap tires are produced in United States each year [5] and more than 600,000 tons of waste tires were thrown out every year in Germany [6]. Stockpiled tires are dangerous not only from potential environmental threat but also from fire hazards and habitat for pests, such as mosquitoes [7,8].…”

Abstract. Scrapped tire rubbers have been proposed as flexible pavement components because they are waste materials. Sustainable development of flexible pavement by utilizing waste tire rubber to replace natural resources generates positive impact to the nature and reducing environmental pollution. This paper presents a study on the investigation of waste scrapped tire rubber as fine aggregate in the production of Asphalt Concrete (AC) mixture. There are three type of AC mixture with 0%, 50%, and 100% of waste scrapped tire rubber replacement of aggregate at fraction No. 50 (0.279 mm). Laboratory test is performed on six characteristics of Marshall test are void in mineral aggregate, void in mixture, voids filled with bitumen, stability, flow, and Marshall quotient. The results showed that the optimum asphalt content for ACStandard mixture is 6.78%, while ACScrapped-tire 50% mixture is 7.10% and ACScrapped-tire 100% mixture is 6.22%. Based on the Marshall Test characteristics, scrapped tire rubber can be used as an alternative material to replace fine aggregate in AC mixtures for road surface layer. The use of scrapped tire rubber in asphalt concrete mixtures can improve the resistance to permanent deformation due to ruts and provide better resistance to high temperatures and loads.

“…The existing researches mainly focus on three aspects: (1) analyzing the motives and advantages of remanufacturing; (2) applying this strategy in a specific industry from the technical perspective; (3) developing a decision-making model to select remanufacturing technology or concept. Lebreton and Tuma [18] investigated to what extent remanufacturing activities could be extended and applied an OEM-centered decision model in order to analyze potential future scenarios. Seitz [19] examined whether the 'classic' motives for product recovery were applicable to automotive remanufacturing.…”

Remanufacturing has been attracting attentions of global manufacturers as an important sustainable development strategy. Component oriented remanufacturing decision-making for complex product involving two phases is proposed in this paper. The first phase is to decide which components to be remanufactured using DEA. To overcome the drawback of traditional DEA without weight constraints, an augmented DEA is applied to evaluate the efficiencies of the pre-selected components considering manufacturing characteristic, comparative cost advantage and general returned status. The second phase is to select an appropriate remanufacturing concept for each efficient component. Interval 2-tuple linguistic model is used in obtaining and collecting experts' evaluations. Besides subjective experts' weights, the objective weights of them are considered in the group decision-making process, which are determined by the precision degree of information experts have given. TOPSIS integrated with interval 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model is proposed to rank alternative remanufacturing concepts. A new distance measuring method between two interval 2-tuple vectors is given out considering both the subjective and objective criteria weights. The objective criterion weight is determined by the discrete degree of the performances of all alternatives on this criterion. A case study is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed remanufacturing decision-making approach for complex product.
