Abstract

The vehicle number has grown significantly in recent decades, resulting in a significant increase in the number of waste tires globally. The environment and public health are seriously endangered by the growing amount of waste tires. As a result, considerable effort is being put into the search for viable alternatives for sustainable management. Even though numerous treatments for waste tires have already been tested and proved successful, their continued industrial implementation remains difficult in both everyday life and research efforts. Finding practical, cost-effective, and ecologically friendly ways to manage waste tires is one of the biggest environmental challenges of the 21st century. By focusing on smart tire waste management, this study examines some of the most important decision-making challenges that support social and environmental sustainability. The main topics of this research are the examination of certain fundamental problems and challenges, as well as some key management strategies for this environmentally unfavorable type of increasing waste. This comprehensive analysis not only identifies significant gaps but also establishes the foundation for addressing some of the most significant decision-making issues in waste tire management by providing recommendations for further research in this important and vulnerable area of academic and practical analysis.
