The tire has become a key element in the development of modern society. However, improperly discarded
tires can cause harm to public health and the environment and should be promptly recycled and reused
in other production cycles to minimize the consumption of non-renewable raw materials and to extend
the life of landfills. However, in many parts of the world, the tires are considered negative value goods
for the market, and their collection, processing, and disposal costs are subsidized. To verify whether the
scrap tire reverse logistics chain can become sustainable not only from an environmental perspective
but also socially and financially, the present study aimed to provide an analysis of the value chain. This
study sought to verify the possibility of distributing financial benefits along the scrap tire reverse logistics
chain, considering co-processing in the cement industries to be one possible destination. Additionally, a
conceptual model for the scrap tire reverse logistics chain is proposed, a value chain analysis method that
is applied to the scrap tire reverse logistics chain is shown, and an analysis of the sensitivity of replacing
petroleum coke for scrap tires according to the variation of the value of the scrap tires and petroleum
coke is done. The results presented here showed that it is possible for the chain elements to cover their
costs and still obtain a profit margin of 1.71% on the costs for the generator and the processor while
maintaining a cost reduction of 1.21% for the residue user in relation to the average price of petroleum
coke.
