Abstract
The review considers the environmental problem of generation, accumulation and utilization of waste tires in Ukraine and the world. It is established that waste tires can serve as a valuable raw material for obtaining fuel components and technical/individual chemicals for further industrial processing. One of the promising methods for the rational utilization of waste tires may be their pyrolysis. The pyrolysis process of waste tires produces gaseous, liquid and solid carbonized residue. At the same time, there is no ideal universal technology for the use of waste tire pyrolysis products without preliminary treatment/purification methods. The main characteristics, processing methods and applications of products obtained from the pyrolysis of waste tires are briefly considered.
