dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The concept of sustainable development has gained significant attention and study in recent years. The linear take-make-dispose industry model, which depletes resources and pollutes the environment, is being challenged by the circular economy approach. The automobile industry, including renowned companies like Audi, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz, is also embracing sustainability measures to reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate negative environmental impacts. Remanufacturing processes have shown that refurbished starters and alternators consume significantly less energy and material compared to new ones. Tires, an integral part of the automotive industry, contribute to waste and pose environmental and health risks. Therefore, there is a need for improved tire recycling methods. The circular economy aims to extend the life of products or recycle materials to minimize resource depletion and environmental damage. Upcycling, the reuse of old items for new purposes, presents an opportunity for circularity without energy-intensive recycling processes. In this context, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) furniture production can promote upcycling and offer an eco-friendly alternative to mass production. The goal of this project is to develop methods for reusing worn tire materials and raise awareness about environmentally friendly alternatives, with a focus on DIY furniture production as a form of upcycling. Keywords: sustainable development, circular economy, remanufacturing, tire recycling, upcycling, DIY furniture production, worn tire materials, eco-friendly alternatives, resource depletion, environmental damageen
