Cycling has become a lifestyle for many people due to its numerous health and environmental benefits. Despite its positive value, cycling also has its drawbacks: it generates waste, specifically inner tubes. Bicycle inner tubes are a type of waste generated on a fairly large scale. Bicycle waste can be found in various places in large quantities.

Waste bicycle tires can be processed into useful new products or recycled using special methods. Processing methods include use as an asphalt mixture, alternative fuel through pyrolysis, or upcycling into handicrafts, floor mats, and other creative products.
