Among the many types of waste, the tire stands out because of its worldwide consumption and because it is a threat to the environment. With the need to reduce improper tire disposal, several solutions have been developed to reduce or reuse this material. Many countries are creating new technologies and processes that can be used to recycle tires. Governmental actions have also been manifesting in the face of the situation, with the creation of legislation for both the corporate level and society in general, together with environmental inspection agencies to control this waste. The present work consists in making an analysis about the application of the reverse logistics of the waste tires, with the objective mainly in the issues that correspond to the proper disposal or the reuse of waste tires. Also present possible tire reuse alternatives, processes that can be applied to these wastes and show how harmful they are to the environment.
