ResumenCurrently, the disposal of waste tires is considered one of the priority environmental and public health problems worldwide. Every year, more than 1.4 billion unused tires are placed in landfills. Population growth, economic development, and a strong demand for vehicle production in the automotive industry increase this problem. In Mexico, nearly 36 million unused tires are deposited in landfills or clandestine deposits, the vast majority being burned or accumulated in the open air. The lack of regulations in the handling, disposal, and recycling of tires creates a worrying panorama for environmental care and the problems that this entails. The objective of this work is to propose a viable alternative for the final disposal and recycling of waste tires through the implementation of a company for the manufacture of products based on recycled rubber in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, reducing environmental pollution by these wastes and generating sources of employment through a sustainable company. For this purpose, a study was carried out in Tamaulipas, Mexico, through surveys to determine the number of tires that can be obtained and determine the feasibility of the business; subsequently, a prediction was made using simulation software to design and estimate the expected production in the manufacture of parking bumpers using two scenarios with two and four workers. Likewise, specialized software was used to optimize waste tire collection routes from the different tire stores to the company’s location. The results show that with an optimal design of the tire collection routes, up to 483 tons of waste tires can be recovered per year, representing 10% of the total unused tires in Tamaulipas. Because it is an environmental and social problem, installing a company manufacturing products based on recycled rubber is feasible and has a high probability of success for the region studied. According to the simulation, employing four workers increases productivity and decreases manufacturing costs. Through the simulation, three tire collection routes were determined considering the total number of tire stores in the city where the company is located.es_ES
