About Used Tire Recycling

Tires have a certain life span. When they become old, worn out, and irreparable, we often dump them in landfills, which can release harmful gases. Unfortunately, this leads to serious environmental issues.

Every year, over one billion scrap tires get generated. And the only way to get things done the right way is through recycling. Tire recycling involves the conversion of waste tires into materials that we can use to create new products, provide employment and revenues for the government, prevent diseases and environmental pollution, and eliminate other dangers.

Therefore, Clean Congo has chosen the recycling way!

Step by Step process of Tire Recycling:

Value Proposition of Tire Recycling:

It will create new products for e.g., fuel, which is much more efficient than fuel derived from coal & other products like rubberized asphalt, playground turf, railroad ties, nylon etc.
Tires take up plenty of space in landfills. By recycling tires, we are saving up space on landfills for other difficult waste recycling. Besides, tires are non-biodegradable, that is, they don’t break down into their natural forms.

This can lead to environmental concerns such as water and air pollution, blocking of drainage systems, and causing harm to animals. A reduced volume of tires on landfills will automatically reduce this challenge.
When we discard old tires at home, we are providing an enabling environment for disease-carrying rodents. Waste tires accumulate stagnant water, which breeds mosquito and causes malaria, amongst others. Tires are also potential homes for snakes, rodents, and other vectors. Therefore, taking these tires for recycling helps us prevent these diseases.
We must also mention that while tires serve as fuel, burning them leads to serious environmental pollution. Apart from being difficult to quench, they produce black, thick smoke. This, in turn, contaminates soil and water in the surroundings, causing serious damage to marine life, soil nutrients, and agriculture for many years.

So, when we recycle these tires instead, we are significantly reducing the potentials of damage of this scale. Rather than have our old tires lying around, we can recycle them at low cost and save our environment from severe pollutions.
Apart from the fuel, scrap tires still have other significant uses.

for e.g.,

as construction materials in building a home, as embankments, for bridge abutments, as barriers to reduce the collision impact, to reduce the sound between residence & roadways.
in apparel products for making of sandals/shoes, flexible nets.
other applications such as, for road landside repairs, for paving, can be moulded into various products.
