The increase in the world population has resulted in an increase in vehicle production by
most automobile companies. It is expected that vehicle production will increase from 1.2
billion to 2 billion by 2035. Thus, automobile industries produce approximately 1.5 billion
tyres annually, which gradually turn into waste products. Recycling waste tyres into a
valuable material is essential in other to promote an ecofriendly society which also

Waste tyres and other polymeric materials have been the most common type of waste
dumped into the environment on a global scale. Waste tyres are a significant contributor to
the European trash stream, with an estimated number of 3.3 million tons produced yearly
and have a stockpile of 5.7 million tons in Europe with 10% of the total quantity being
exported to Africa. Recently, researchers have focused on developing supercapacitor
electrode materials for energy storage from waste tyres. In this project, the effect of KOH …
