“…It is based on mechanical methods and no additional GHG emissions should be expected at Scope 1. There are some recycling facilities with capacity up to 30,000 tonnes of tires per year; waste tires are converted to rubber pellets for asphalt modifier and cord [8].…”

The article assesses the Best Available Techniques for the methods of reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in the waste treatment sector, that includes oil, plastic and rubber materials. The certain GHG emissions sources were shown and an attention is paid to the economic feasibility of specified methods in different places. It was shown, that for GHG mitigation policy, waste-management should be complied with the product life-cycle optimization, while recycling is considered as initially the best available method. The article is based on methods of scaling and statistical generalization. The data was obtained from official resources, including Reference Documents on the Best Available Techniques, National Inventory of GHG and from scientific publications. It was intended with full agreement, that resource efficiency enhancement relevantly should be in top priority of environmental and economic regulation.

“…In particular, incineration of ELT wastes is known to release carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, butadiene, and other toxic aromatic compounds. It was estimated that the incineration of 1 ton of ELT waste could release about 450 kg of poisonous gases and 270 kg of soot into the atmosphere [25,34]. On the other hand, several different ELT waste recycling processes have been developed, including (i) pyrolysis, (ii) fuel in cement kilns or energy recovery (tire-derived fuel, TDF), (iii) reclamation, (iv) civil engineering, and (v) granulation (ground tire rubber, GTR).…”

The global demand for rubber is on a steady rise, which is driven by the increasing production of automobiles and the growing need for industrial, medical, and household products. This surge in demand has led to a significant increase in rubber waste, posing a major global environmental challenge. End-of-life tire (ELT) is a primary source of rubber waste, having significant environmental hazards due to its massive stockpiles. While landfilling is a low-cost and easy-to-implement solution, it is now largely prohibited due to environmental concerns. Recently, ELT rubber waste has received considerable attention for its potential applications in civil engineering and construction. These applications not only enhance sustainability but also foster a circular economy between ELT rubber waste with the civil engineering and construction sectors. This review article presents a general overview of the recent research progress and challenges in the civil engineering applications of ELT rubber waste. It also discusses commercially available recycled rubber-based construction materials, their properties, testing standards, and certification. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time such a discussion on commercial products has been presented, especially for civil engineering applications.

“…Additionally, tire incineration releases CO, SO 2 , NO 2 , HCl, butadiene, and aromatic substances that are dangerous pollutants (Ferdous et al, 2021). The incineration of 1 ton of end-of-life tires releases 450 kg of toxic gases and 270 kg of soot which poses environmental challenges such as suspended particles and air and groundwater pollution (Rumyantseva et al, 2020). All the above-mentioned threats indicate that innovations are needed in the transition from traditional waste disposal methods to more sustainable waste elimination pathways.…”
