ReTIRE: Research on Transformations, Implications, and Risks of End-of-life tires

In this project, the investigators study the environmental transformation, fate, and impact of end-of-life tire with advanced analytical methods. The results will help us understand the risk of current tire reuse practices (e.g., crumb rubber in artificial turf) and inform better waste management and product design.
