Abstract
The production of rubber waste has a detrimental impact on the environment, and it poses significant health risks to individuals. Working with rubber waste can lead to major health issues, as fires release harmful gases that accumulate in the body over time, potentially causing cancer. In Ecuador, an estimated 240 000 tires are discarded each year, taking approximately 1000 years to decompose. Consequently, the objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive plan that promotes pollution reduction on a national scale. This will be achieved through descriptive research and the collection of pertinent information, aiming to identify environmentally friendly solutions while raising awareness among producers. The ultimate goal is to encourage proper tire management after their primary use. Retreading represents a viable solution to address environmental pollution, as a tire can be retreaded two to three times. This practice enables tires to re-enter the production cycle, thereby preventing their disposal in landfills and bodies of water.
