Abstract:The extensive global use of rubber results in significant microplastic pollution from the release of tire wear particles and microplastic leachate, impacting the environment, human health, and ecosystems. Waste tires are normally recycled and used for the production of new products, such as rubber tiles. The presented study aims to show the possibility of further decrease in the negative environmental impact of materials based on recycled rubber. This paper presents the modification of rubber tiles with a tita… Show more
