Due to the reduction of available sites for waste disposal, a lot of countries forbid the disposal of waste tire rubber in landfills. Researches seek for a long time to find alternatives to the waste tire. Reusing and recycled waste tire rubber is the promising material in the Architectural Applications due to its light weight, flexibility, insulating properties, and energy absorption. There are many studies show that Egypt capable of competing within the global tires Reusing sector, the paper aims to how to improve this Sector to face its future challenges and attract Foreign Investment, many points should be considered such as improving the legislative framework, rising of awareness, developing business development service and, role of external institutionalization and financing.

The reuse of solid waste can improve of environmental quality, contribute to solutions of urban issues, energy shortage, and waste disposal. Recycling provide job opportunities to the needy people, conserve finite resources and save the environment. Recycling of rubber receives less attention than other waste materials such as Paper, glass, steel cans due to its final product, quality and public acceptance, financial value, marketability, and margin of the earning.

  • Review of the Human Health & Ecological Safety of Exposure to Recycled Tire Rubber Found at Playgrounds and Synthetic Turf F
    Review of the Human Health & Ecological Safety of Exposure to Recycled Tire Rubber found at Playgrounds and Synthetic Turf Fields Prepared for: Rubber Manufacturers Association Washington, DC Prepared by: Cardno ChemRisk Pittsburgh, PA August 1, 2013 Executive Summary Increasingly, tires that reach the end of their serviceable life are processed for beneficial reuse in novel applications. Some of these include soil and surface amendments at athletic fields, playground and garden mulch, and bound surfaces at playgrounds and athletic facilities. These modern artificial surfaces reduce the likelihood of personal injury, provide uniform recreational playing surfaces, promote energy conservation, eliminate pesticide and fertilizer usage, and support waste recycling. Tires are manufactured with a variety of materials and additives to ensure optimum product safety, reliability and performance. Some tire ingredients are considered to be human health hazards at exposure levels several orders of magnitude greater than possible from contact with finished consumer products. Accordingly, athletes, parents and other stakeholders have expressed questions and concerns about the potential for adverse human health or ecological effects from the use of recycled tires in sport surface or playground materials. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the health and ecological risks associated with the use of recycled tire rubber in consumer applications, particularly playgrounds and athletic fields. In doing so, a thorough review of available literature was conducted including studies from both advocates and opponents to the use of recycled tire materials. An examination of the weight of evidence across all of the available studies was conducted to enable a comprehensive assessment of potential risk.

  • Rubber Mulches
    Linda Chalker-Scott, Ph.D., Extension Horticulturist and Associate Professor, Puyallup Research and Extension Center, Washington State University The Myth of Rubberized Landscapes “Recycled rubber mulch is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic choice for landscapes” The Myth Discarded rubber tires are the bane of waste management; according to the EPA, we generate 290 million scrap tires annually. Scrap tire stockpiles can pose significant fire hazards, such as the 1983 Virginia tire fire that burned for 9 months. Obviously finding a market for these slow-to-decompose materials is desirable, and many innovative uses have been developed, including rubberized asphalt, playground surfaces, and landscape mulches. From an engineering standpoint, crumb rubber as a soil amendment has performed favorably in reducing compaction to specialty landscape surfaces such as sports fields and putting greens. Rubber mulches are touted by manufacturers and distributors as permanent (“doesn’t decay away”) and aesthetically pleasing (“no odor” - “looks like shredded wood mulch” – “earth tones and designer colors” – “special fade resistant coating”) landscape materials. Furthermore, we are told that rubber mulch is “safe for flowers, plants and pets” (though it “doesn’t feed or house insects”) and “dramatically improves landscaping.” It seems to be an environmentally-friendly solution to a major waste disposal problem. The Reality Rubber mulches have not proved to be particularly good choices for either horticultural production or landscape uses. In comparison studies of several mulch types, rubber tire mulch was less effective in controlling weeds in herbaceous perennial plots than wood chips. Similarly, sawdust made a better mulch for Christmas tree production in terms of weed control, microbial biomass, and soil chemistry.
