The disposal of waste tyres poses significant environmental challenges due to their resistance to degradation and the inefficiency of traditional disposal methods like landfilling and incineration. This study explores the use of waste tyre powder (WTP) as an alternative filler to carbon black in natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) blends, aiming to develop a sustainable and high-performance material.
