In this review, a summary of current legislation applicable to End-of-Life Tyres (ELTs), management of that waste, both in Spain and Europe, and a compilation of existing technologies to enlarge the life of tyres and treatment technologies for material and energy recoveries, are provided. In recent years, there have been a number of studies in the field of treatment of ELTs, therefore applicable emerging technologies as more efficient, clean and cost-effective technologies, are discussed. Europe leads policy on waste ELTs, and Spain includes guidelines and approach with its latest National Waste Plan 2008 - 2015 which marked the new goals to achieve in the management of ELTs. Producer Responsibility is the most widespread system for the management of ELTs in Europe. Spain musts continue to improve the emerging Producer Responsibility, and perhaps, coexistence of two IMS's is hindering the waste correct management, in the country. Life lengthening technologies of tyre, such as retreading, have a great development, since the Retreaded tyre production, in OECD countries, is a well-developed and mature industry. ELTs shredding and grinding technologies are widespread and a large market of companies that have covered this sector. But not all sizes produced have real application in the market today for which government support as well as industry awareness is required in order for used rubber derived products break into the market. Energy recovery of ELTs is a growing worldwide market, ranging from cement kilns to steel plants and any industrial boiler. In Spain, there is only recovery in cement kilns, but in the medium term are expected recoveries in industrial boilers and steel plants. Energy recovery technologies, such as pyrolysis and gasification, which have the added value of obtaining synthetic products, has created a new trend in tire recycling technology, using preshredded tyre. In general, the leaders in environmental technology sector expand its technology to this waste by seeing it as a new market with a tendency to grow.
