The waste tyres create serious environmental hazard and difficulties during recycling. Application of the pyrolysis for wastes processing and especially of waste tyres has been described. The results of the pyrolysis tests of scrap tyres on a big laboratory scale have been presented. The pyrolysis process has been carried out in batch reactor at temperatures 400, 500 and 600 degrees C. The products obtained from this process can fulfil the commercial qualitative requirements after additional treatment.
