The disposal of used tyres is an issue that preoccupies not only Greece, but also every other country with terrestrial means of transportation. The problem occurs due to the enormous volume of tyres, which are disposed, each year. The high calorific value of the tyres is an additional reason that suggests the implementation of a more effective and efficient process. A multicriteria analysis model was developed in order to evaluate the existing techniques for the reprocessing of used tyres. The criteria taken in account were of economical, technical, sociopolitical and environmental nature. Actors involved in the “tyre chain” determined relative weights of the criteria. The output of the software used, indicated the combustion in cement kilns as the most essential method by all odds, while mechanical shredding is a comparable alternative.
