End-of-Life Tyres applications in civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering: A brief overview

Abstract

The ever-growing and urgent need to be able to tackle and manage the well-known negative impacts of the so-called black pollution - generated by End-of-Life Tyres (ELTs) - has triggered virtuous and interesting mechanisms aimed at minimizing the above mentioned pollution and further effects by focusing on the End-of-Life Tyres management and applications. This paper presents a brief overview of the various applications of the ELTs in two different scopes of engineering, such as civil and environmental, including also geotechnical scope, to give an updated technical view of ELTs fate worldwide.
