Used tires: raw material for road paving and multiple eco-applications Llantas usadas: materia prima para pavimentos y múltiples ecoaplicaciones

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to perform a reflexive analysis by means of documentary review methodology, regarding the problem of environmental pollution derived from the inadequate disposal of used tires in the city of Bogotá, and how how sub-products like the recycled tire crumb, among others, which has applications and uses to be explored, can be obtained through recycling and recovery processes such as the mechanical crushing. The foregoing with the objective of determining the viability and feasibility of marketing recycled rubber grain as raw material for the production of the modified asphalt mix that is used for road paving.
