What can the world do with 1.5 billion waste tyres?

[hazidofasa]

Car tyres are a major global waste problem. Collectively we drive 1.5 billion tyres to the end of their useful lives every year. They can be retread and reused up to a point, but not endlessly. And at the end of their usefulness you have a conundrum. End of life tyres (or ELTs) are difficult to process for any kind of recycling, because they’re a complex mix of materials – natural and synthetic rubber, fibre and wire, all in a heavy and unwieldy package. They’re not biodegradeable, so tyres don’t rot down naturally. And every year we use more of them. And from this busy world Emjac is trying to solve this problem by decentralised process.

EMJAC aims to expand the penetration and knowledge sharing of our recycling concept and ecosystem around the world starting with major cities which produce the highest numbers of waste tyres.  EMJAC will integrate blockchain and traceability technology to solve the global waste tyres problem. EMJAC (EMJ) adopts the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem, well known for its decentralized approach that runs smart contracts to enhance the transparency and traceability of global waste tyres management to reduce illegal dumping.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2677729;sa=showPosts

My idea would be to start making shoes (flip flops and that kind of shoes) for poor people in third world countries.

The world can try to pave roads. The tyres are very durable to environment, so we could use it on the roads

In fact, I will not worry about this issue. After all, these used tires can be recycled. I think that things that cannot be regenerated are the problem.

Isn't tires? LoL
recycling tires is bad for environment aswell. I heard one of the car companies has made tires that can lasts 10x as much as a regular tires

Tyres is correct spelling too, it  is mainly used by Brits.

OT  

Seems like in Africa they make sandals out of tires

NOt just in Africa but in the whole world as well because tires are very durable to use as rubber for foot stuff,maybe in your country it was popularized but I’m sure there are people there who make this garbage into useful one

When I was young I remember my uncle gave me a Strap sandals that made from Airplane Tires and until now I have the stuff because it’s very durable(and that sandals came from Israel that time)

If car tires are so strong, imagine airplane tires lol... I can guess they will outlive you, at least the rubber part (even if the straps break).

This is a concept called reusing. There are 3 Rs remember? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. In that order...

I have also seen people making sandals or such from tires, but mostly artisan level. Would be nice if some large plant could somehow industrialize this process because the amount of "raw material" (discarded tires) is as big as the potential market but i don't think this can be made cheap enough, even with free supplies.

Yeah tyre is the British spelling
