“…Korinek and Koci provide an analysis of a car tire life cycle with the use of GaBi software and the CML 2001 method [25]. Other studies mainly address particular stages of the car tire life cycle, e.g., production [36], but most frequently the end-of-life stage thereof [20,24,[37][38][39][40][41]. A few papers present the results of analyses for tires manufactured from Purpose Guayule natural rubber [28,29].…”

“…Research on a tire's end-of-life stage shows, among other things, that the reuse of car tire fibers causes lower environmental load than its combustion with energy recovery [38]. The analyses carried out by Ortiz-Rodriguez et al by means of the CML 2001 method, on the basis of Columbian experiences, show that the combustion of whole tires in cement kilns is characterized by the lowest environmental impact involved in the recovery of resources [24].…”

There are numerous threats to the natural environment that pose a significant risk both to the environment and to human health, including car tires. Thus, there is a need to determine the impact of the life cycle of car tires on the environment, starting with the processes of raw materials acquisition, production, and ending with end-of-life management. Therefore, the authors of this study chose to do research on passenger car tires (size: P205/55/R16). As part of the research, the life cycle assessment (LCA) of traditional car tires was performed with the use of the Eco-indicator 99, cumulative energy demand (CED), and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methods. The level of negative effects was determined for the life cycle of a tire and its particular stages: Production, use, and end of life. The negative impact on the atmosphere, soil, and water, as well as on human health, the environment, and natural resources was also investigated. The results show that the most energy-absorbing stage of a car tire life cycle is the use stage. It was found that the most harmful impact involves the depletion of natural resources and emissions into the atmosphere. Recycling car tires reduces their negative environmental impact during all their life cycle stages.

“…In order to reduce the cost of air pollution control, many researchers have analyzed its influencing factors, and put forward methods to reduce the cost [11][12][13]17,18]. For example, Marina and Andreas [18] studied the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETC) policy of European Aviation, and found that the implementation of emission trading is an effective means to control air pollution, and can reduce the control cost.…”

“…Various countries take different measures to control air pollution; they include direct control, environment protection tax [6,7], emission trading [8][9][10], and environmental protection technologies such as recycling and reuse [11,12]. Of these options, air pollution control based on emission rights trading has attracted more attention [13,14].…”

A Joint Control Model Based on Emission Rights Futures Trading for Regional Air Pollution That Accounts for the Impacts on Employment

et al. 2019

To reduce air pollutant control costs and solve the problem of decreased employment caused by air pollution control, we established a double-objective optimization Joint Control Model (JCM) based on emission rights futures trading. The JCM calculates the spot price of emission rights, classifies regions in the trading market for emission rights into buyers and sellers, and calculates the optimal cooperative pollution abatement quantity. Compared with a non-cooperative control mode, the JCM generated benefits of US$2485.19 × 10 6 . We then used a Game Quadratic Programming (GQP) method to distribute the benefits, and applied the JCM to a case study of the abatement of sulfur dioxide in China's Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi provinces. We found that: (i) Compared with a JCM that does not account for employment, employment under the JCM increased by 3.20 × 10 3 people, and the pollution control cost decreased by US$11.20 × 10 6 under the JCM that considered employment. The effect of the latter model is better than that of the former. (ii) Employment under the JCM increased by 18.80 × 10 4 people compared with that under a territorial control mode, reducing the cost by US$99.73 × 10 6 . The JCM is helpful for all participating regions to balance environmental and livelihood issues in the process of air pollution control to achieve sustainable development.

“…The study by Blessen [8] is also relevant when analyzing the polymer-modified asphalt mixture at room temperature using cryogenic broken ELTS, but it does not indicate a significant difference in the performance of binders found in laboratory tests. Landi [6] conducted a tire life cycle analysis, focusing on the viability of the textile material; such material is not recommend as a reinforcement material in the asphalt, since there is no proven economic viability in this study.…”

Proposal to Reuse Rubber Waste from End-Of-Life Tires Using Thermosetting Resin

et al. 2019

Due to the increasing production of motor vehicles, a large amount of waste with different characteristics and compositions is generated, notably end-of-life tires, which are harmful to the environment when not properly disposed. Their composition contains contaminating chemical elements, resulting in negative impacts on the environment. This research aims to present a process that favors the recycling of rubber waste from end-of-life tires. For the construction of the state of the art and state of the technique, a review of the literature on end-of-life tire rubber, and a search on Google Patents and Espacenet was done using Methodi Ordinatio. For the experimental work, samples were made using concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60% of end-of-life tire rubber particles, with the addition of thermoset polymeric matrix of isophthalic polyester resin, catalyst, and dyes. In order to evaluate the quality of the mixture, some tests with the material resulting from the mixture were performed: Izod impact strength, Shore D hardness, immersion density determination, flexural strength, and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The results from the tests indicate that the composition with 60% of rubber particles had better mechanical results than samples containing 20% and 40%. The tests also show that end-of-life tire particles promote chemical adsorption (interaction) with the thermoset polymer matrix, favoring the mechanical properties. The final results of this research are: the literature review and the search on granted patents showed that this study is original; the experimental work suggests that practical applications are possible, generating a new product, harder with a proportion of 60% of rubber particles, as indicated by the tests, with a smooth surface that does not require polishing. Thus, this research is characterized as innovative as well as having sustainable characteristics.
