We make nearly 2 billion tires every year, while old ones continue to pile up. They can act as breeding grounds for mosquitoes and cause hard-to-put-out fires. Some countries recycle a majority of them, and one Nigerian entrepreneur is aiming to get hers to do the same.

Leave it to an industrialist Nigeria to come up with a great useable product for home owners.

Nigeria seems an interesting place. The people all speak English quite well. Fela Kuti was from there I think. Is it the government that keeps them from prospering more?

I have NO Fucking Idea...... There is so much going on in the world that I never hear of or tune into.... and people only tend to tune into what comes their way because of the drama of it all or it's actually relevant to them. So much beyond Da Da Idi Amin, or necklacing - and there is a sort of fair bit I know about Nigeria - wildlife, rivers, hippopotamus's , villages, african art and pottery etc.... I have no idea of the UK dog walking laws and cleaning up your dogs shit on a district by district basis etc... https://www.mgtow.tv/v/9nZoWJ ----- https://www.mgtow.tv/v/S7IqmZ ------- https://www.mgtow.tv/v/E3xWDc

I put up a heap of obscure videos on african pottery - the people who make them - and how to make them - but they were probably tracked and traced and DRM'd off the site... No luck with searchs on Ceramic /s, pottery, etc...

Very interesting! I give that black broad credit for starting her own business like she did!

As they say in Straya, "Guudonyamaaate" - translated - "Good on you mate"...... However they have gone for a single step operation for a single step problem - not an integrated flow path - and a lot of manual handling at each step...... This speeds up production by 10 x and the capacity or throughput by 10 x for similar overheads.....

Now they have the base level production line in place, they can go for cleaning the tyres, gutting the wire out, and then cutting up and grinding and crumbing the tyres and then grading the granules... I sit here having visions on how to design better and faster debeading process's and it takes a few seconds to "visualise the whole machine"..... much better than what they have.
