Active development of science and engineering involves a wide introduction of artificial organic materials including rubber. A vast amount of waste accumulated as a result of the use of various rubber items puts before mankind a task of their use with a maximum profit without inflicting harm upon the environment. Among the ones that attract our interest is the processing of worn out automobile tyres the accumulation of which just as other organic waste assumes a threatening scale in the world. Incineration of the outer covers is one the widely spread methods of their liquidation. Inspite of its obvious drawbacks incineration as a method of waste processing, including absorbed tyres, is still applied; the fact can be witnessed from papers, patents, appearing periodically in mass media. Active carbon has been tested under semi-industrial conditions in purifying waste water and producing antibiotics softeners have been tested in the civil engineering industry. Technical documentation for constructing a plant processing worn out tyres with a 15 thousand ton capacity per year has been developed.
