Abstract -The usage of four-wheeled, two-wheeled, and other vehicles is growing daily. As a result, there are also more used tyres in the garbage. In India, used tyres are considered hazardous or solid trash. In both urban and rural locations, it is thought that 60% of discarded tyres are disposed of through unidentified routes. This causes a number of environmental issues, such as air pollution from tyre burning in the open (which may produce dangerous pollutants including dioxin, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen), as well as aesthetic pollution. Because of this, it is essential to properly utilise wastes as each field's technology advances.If the old tyres are chopped into aggregate and given the name rubber aggregate, they can be utilised as well-sized aggregate in a variety of bituminous mixtures.This reduces the amount of traditional aggregate that is used, which is a finite resource, as well as the pollution caused by discarded tyres.The building industry is significantly impacted by changes to building materials. Therefore, there have been several attempts made in the construction material sector to turn waste materials, such as worn-out tyres, into functional and affordable commodities. The waste of rubber from tyres is a major environmental issue everywhere.
