The waste tire textile fibers from tires are generated as a by-product and are classified as special waste. To avoid landfilling and incineration of this waste, it is necessary to focus on its further use. This article describes an experimental study of the use of waste tire textile fibers for plaster mixtures. Waste fibers were added in different amounts of 2.9%, 3.6%, and 4.3% related to the weight of cement, the effect of fibers on selected properties was monitored. The results of the experimental work show that the lower addition of waste fibers (2.9% and 3.6%) had a predominantly positive effect on mechanical properties. By exceeding of the optimal dose of fibers, the tested properties of the plasters got worse.
