Used tyres are one of the most widespread types of waste and one of the polymer materials which are most difficult to recycle. There are many different applications for used tyres today. Part of the tyres can be retreated and re-used, but most of the used tyres are recycled. Every year, around 2.5 millions tons of tyres wear out only in Europe, and their recycling rate reaches 90%. Most of the tyres (about 40%) are burned for energy. Slightly lower proportion of used tyres (about 30%) are shredded for further use either in shredded form or as raw material for pyrolysis or thermal solvolysis. 20% of used tyres are restored in order to be reused. By dissolving the tyres it is possible to filter out various chemical substances. These substances coming from the used tyres can be used for creating a new material or improving an existing one. One of the technologies involves adding chemically recycled tyres to the bitumens used in road pavement construction. It could result in possible reduction of binder price and improvement of its properties, which generally will improve road surface quality. The substances obtained from the recycled tyres can be used in the water proofing of bitumen. Adding these substances not only can reduce the costs for water proofing but also improve its properties.
