ABSTRACT
One of the main requirements for products of the tire industry is durability. This feature is desirable
in the operation phase, but causes problems during recycling. The tire degradation process takes tens of
years, and their storage is associated with a risk of fire and the release of many hazardous substances to the
atmosphere. It is therefore necessary to find methods for safe and environmentally sound management of
this waste. One method for disposing of worn tires is to use them as alternative fuel. The purpose of this
article is to identify ways of managing rubber waste in the countries of the European Union and defining the
role and place of energy recovery in the economy of worn tire industry products.
