In the framework of this research the following issues have been solved: - the identification of the Russian tire market main trends in the context of the accession to the WTO; - the identification of real volume of waste tire recycling in Russia as a whole and in individual regions of the Russian Federation; - the identification of actual volumes of waste tire recycling in general and at the regional level; - the calculation of the volume of the Russian scrap tire market; - determination of the recycling expansion, depending on the region; - conduction of a competitive analysis of market participants: for this purpose, there was identified the selected processing technology, was conducted the manufacturers segmentation on a regional basis and the volume of production capacities. Due to its chemical structure (three-dimensional chemical mesh) the rubber has been conceptually considered unrecyclable and therefore problematic material during a long period of time. Meanwhile, today there are technologies allowing the processing of GMRG into a final product, raw material or energy source. The currently used methods for recycling of waste tires that are not to be restored can be divided into crushing and burning methods. Crushing can be done in different ways: mechanical grinding, cryogenic grinding, bar-destructive methods, ozone technologies, destruction by explosion, etc. At the industrial level the most widely-used technology is the mechanical grinding. Thermal methods are presented by methods of pyrolysis (thermal decomposition of solid waste without air) and burning of tires in cement kilns and special plants for power production. Furthermore, there are tires dissolution technologies. However, they didn’t find a real industrial acceptance. Least civilized methods of tires recycling are their burial and incineration. Geography of research: Russia (detailed), the world (overview). Chronology of research: a retrospective – 2008-2013 (Russia). The report consists of seven parts and 21 chapters. The first part provides an overview of the subject of research: basic terms and definitions. The technology for recycling of waste tires and products resulting from the recycling process are described. The second part presents an analysis of the global tire refining market. There was studied the priority management strategy of waste tire handling in Europe, USA and Japan. There was paid attention to features of state regulation of the industry. The third part contains an analysis of the Russian tire market. Key indicators: volume and dynamics of the market, volume of production / import / export of tires in 2013. In addition, information on the level of Russian regions automobilization is provided. The fourth part is dedicated to the analysis of the Russian scrap tire market. The calculation of the volume of formation and processing of tires in Russia was made. In addition, a methodology of calculation was provided. In the fifth part a competitive analysis of the scrap tire market was conducted. The comparison of companies was carried out by the following criteria: the volume of production capacity, the used technology, the cost of recycling services, the cost of the finished product. The sixth part contains a demand analysis of waste tires recycling products. Key features and requirements for recycling equipment are presented in the seventh section of the report. In conclusion of the study general conclusions were drawn. As annexes to the report are submitted: - the table of volumes of waste tires in Russian regions in 2013; - a list of current investment projects in the field of tire recycling; - examples of business proposals of tire recycling lines; - rubber crumb specification table and the calculation of its cost.
