This is an expert overview on the topic of tyre recycling. It summarises current practices and the factors that have contributed to their growth and efficacy as viable, economically and environmentally sound methods of dealing with post-consumer tyres. The primary area of study of this report is the EU, but reports from the US have also been cited. Statistics from the EU markets, which illustrate changes in the industry since the inception of the European Tyre Recycling Association a decade ago are incorporated. Around 400 references with abstracts from recent global literature accompany this review, sourced from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading. A subject index and a company index are included.

The pneumatic tyre is a complex structure which performs a variety of functions essential to the effective operation of most vehicles. The performance of a tyre can be considered in terms of a b257 of criteria; durability, tread wear, noise, energy consumption (rolling resistance), vibrations and traction. In this report the authors review recent advances in all these areas. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.

Annotation. The tyre industry is the largest single rubber manufacturing industry in the world. The high performance demanded of tyres has led to extensive research and development in this field and constant innovation. This report takes an overview of the latest technology combined with the market situation worldwide. The report is designed as a systematic analysis of the passenger car industry. It begins with a broad view of the industry examining the major markets and manufacturers. Later in the report the chief characteristics of the industry and the major economic and commercial pressures are identified. Three chapters in the book discuss the three major markets for tyres and profiles of the largest manufacturers are provided.

Much has happened recently in the field of waste management and this has had a strong impact on the handling of used tyres. This report provides up-to-date data and comment about the progress in the UK, Europe and North America in the handling of the problem of used tyres once removed from vehicles. Legislation in Europe is concentrating the minds of authorities and operators alike, to provide sustainable solutions to the recovery and recycling of these tyres and to maximise the benefit from such activity.

Substantial quantities of used tyres are being discarded annually throughout the world and this is likely to increase in line with the growth in road traffic. Given the environmental economic implications of this waste, the many regulating bodies world-wide are actively promoting policies aimed at recycling and reuse of the material for recovery as a valuable resource. However, in many parts of the world, recycled tyre technology is still in its infancy.This book presents the proceedings of an International Symposium organised by the Concrete Technology Unit, University of Dundee which brings together some of the worlds leading experts in the field of used tyre recycling.
