In the United States, managing rubber waste—especially from tires—presents severe environmental problems. This project aims to evaluate novel techniques for recycling rubber waste to appraise existing practices, examine new technologies, and suggest policy suggestions for sustainable waste management. The paper thoroughly analyzes US rubber waste recycling research and secondary data sources. Important discoveries highlight the shortcomings of traditional recycling techniques, including problems with quality and the environment. Cutting-edge technologies that have the potential to improve resource recovery and lessen environmental impact include devulcanization, pyrolysis, and chemical recycling. The policy implications underscore the necessity of infrastructure expenditures, cooperative collaborations, and regulatory incentives to expedite the implementation of novel recycling processes. Regulatory frameworks should be updated, research and development should be encouraged, and end-market potential for recycled rubber products should be promoted. This study emphasizes how critical it is to switch to creative methods of recycling rubber waste to address environmental issues and advance the circular economy. The United States can lead the way in creating an ecosystem for recycling rubber waste that is more effective and sustainable by enacting legislative changes and utilizing cutting-edge technologies.
