Environmentally friendly polymer-rubber composites obtained from waste tyres: A review

The paper is transdisciplinary. The complex overview on changes in policy and approach to waste tyres that leads to both solving environmental problem of post consumer tyres and creating environmentally friendlier novel materials are presented. It is shown that in the world, the amount of polymer wastes increases every year. Most of them are in the form of post-consumer tyres. Recycling and recovery of such tyres is a serious environmental problem due to their very complex structure and composition. Moreover, storage of the whole post-consumer tyres takes a lot of space in landfills and pollute the environment. However, recently it has been reported a great progress in sustainable management of waste tyres.
