Kenya - Business creation project

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

My project is aimed at getting rid of all used tires from the open environment and turning them to useful and innovative products that are integrated back to the environment offering a Greener Solution .

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Recycling of used tires is the process of collecting tires that have been disposed off and are no longer in use and turning this to useful products . The process involves washing the tires , putting them into a grinder which turns the tires to different crumb sizes ,they are then put on a vibrating table which removes steel wires through a magnet and separates the different crumbs by size. The rubber crumbs are mixed with colours and a binder in a mixer . They are then put into plastic moulds for all desired shapes and compressed together to make blocks and tiles . This process does not release any fumes to the atmosphere and there are no waste products ..

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

It is estimated about 34000 tonnes of used tires have been burned upharzadly or disposed in ways that are very harmful to our natural environment . and this tires are accumulating yearly due to the increase of vehicles on our roads . Tires are made from materials that would take up to 100 years to decompose and assimilate into the environment . making them very hard to dispose or get rid of . Most of this tires end up in ditches . roadsides . dumps and yards .. Tires are highly flammable and have been known to cause fires that take weeks to put out .

1.cement and sand paving blocks . This blocks are fragile heavy and require machines to move and transport While our paving blocks are very lightweight and easy to transport and install . This blocks have a rough surface that causes shoes to wear out and also causes injuries incase of a fall While our blocks are fluffy and offer good traction with no injuries because they are good shock absorbers . 2.Recycled plastic blocks. This blocks are not good for the environment because they release microplastics into the air causing diseases While our blocks are made from natural rubber recycled from tires . Plastic blocks tend to lose there traction becoming smooth with time and causing injuries while our blocks are made from rubber crumbs making it safe and a good shock absorber .
