Abstract. The high rate of increasing automotive use has led to high end-of-life car tyre stock-pile, which presents serious environmental and disposal problems. This work discusses the production of the chairs, tables, and planters made on the basis of the recycled car tyres as the sustainable alternative to the traditional materials. The work is concerned with the choice of materials, designing factors, and fabrication techniques to provide structural strength, stability, and functionality of the created products. The waste tyres were subject to cleaning, cutting and surface treatment then they were assembled mechanically together with supporting frames to get usable furniture and planter units. The products that were produced were tested on the basis of load-bearing capacity, stability, usability, and the visual appeal. These findings indicate that the products made by recycling tyres can be quite convenient in fulfilling the functional needs and preventing the excessive waste of materials and their harm to the environment. The suggested solution will help to improve resource use and facilitate the theme of the circuit economy by extending the life of automotive waste. This paper underlines the possibility of recycled tyres to be used as a potential material in the production of sustainable products in city and semi-urban settings.
