The majority of waste rubber, mainly coming from industrial rubber scraps and from the end-of-life tires, is discarded, causing diseases and environmental contamination. In fact, the stacking of rubber scraps promotes the growth of mosquitoes and rodents, and it can also produce spontaneous heating resulting in fire. Thus, the landfilling of waste rubber was forbidden by the European Commission since 1999 and since then efforts are made to recycle these wastes, despite the difficulties related to the complex structure and composition of vulcanized rubbers. Several methods have been developed to recycle waste rubber but the most interesting one is based on the devulcanization approach since it allows the reuse of the treated material in new competitive products.
