Abstract The development of the number of vehicles impacts the increased waste of used tires produced. This paper was created to explore the reuse end of life tires (ELT) as a renewable material. This paper also discusses the potential implementation of tire fiber recycling in Indonesia. Data were taken from various relevant articles from accredited sites such as Elsevier, Springer, Scopus, and Research gate. The data were reviewed using the narrative analysis method. Two recycling sectors, namely geotechnical application (Landfill liner) and civil engineering application (asphalt, pavement, LVL board, and lightweight aggregate concrete). The result shows the potential for ELT applications in Indonesia is very high. This is due to the large number of used tires in Indonesia because of the high consumption of vehicles by the population. The new recycling process carried out in Indonesia is only asphalt and pavement. There is no use of ELT for landfill liners, LVL, and lightweight aggregate concrete in Indonesia. The utilization of ELT can be maximized in Indonesia with the help of local government and research studies to reduce ELT waste in Indonesia.
