Nigeria’s Genius Solution to Recycle Massive Amount of Used Tires
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лют 2024
- In this episode on Tekniq, We shall venture into the "FREEE Recycle Limited" tire recycling facility in Nigeria, producing various products from the highly shredded remains of car tires.
I love that this is presented as is; no captions over the imagery, no stupid ukulele over the sounds of machinery, and not even narration, just showing us a process. Beautifully shot.
I feel for these workers though, that looks like hard work.
Best comment on here.
I worked hard in a tire shop for years. I was glad I had a job and as far as I know no one ever felt sorry for me because I was worked hard.
@@AVB2 I feel sorry for you, even if you don't care. We should be able to work to live, but instead we often live to work.
They have work, much better than laying around. It is important to work. There are a lot of machines that do the work. Try working on a U.S. Cattle ranch 12=16 hrs a day all year. I admire them for their resourcefulness. They can rotate the duties to avoid monotony. Yay Nigeria.
Wait a minute.... are you saying that ukuleles are stupid ? Or just the sound that they make ?
Excellent, well done Nigeria, recycling ,making products,creating jobs, all good stuff.
I bet you anything this recycling installation is not created by Nigerian Ingeniers but by Europian or American ingenieurs and paid by the taxpayers of this countries under the pretext of development aid.
You bet is very correct...

I hope Nigeria will grow peacefully and consequently. God bless you guys. Greetings from Poland.

@@MyxomopoBHeTI guess you don’t notice the Chinese have brought neo-colonialism 😂
In the mid 1990’s I worked for Dunlop Rubber.We used old car/motorbike & truck tyres & made lots of products like hose for drip watering market gardeners properties or outside panels for children’s play areas and the like ....most of it was automated but this factory was very very basic.....this was in Melbourne Australia......good technology...the biggest problem was the different rubber qualities of the tyres brought about different results especially in the drip hose quality....some dripped much more than other....You never knew which you were going to get , even though we did pressure testing regularly...but a good idea for recycled rubber....
We need to do this in every country. So many tires here and every country. Well done! Makes me feel better that they are being recycled.
I know in USA people are using old tires in some of the super eco friendly houses and a brand of running sandal uses no longer safe for road tires on its models using specific brands for specific shoes as is, if wear is consistent, not below X depth, and no wires on backside are poking out or are going to do so in the future.
Where do you think they got the equipment and know how? First world countries are doing this and have been for a long time. The only issue is they can't be recycled into new tires because the material is functionally degraded to the point it can't reach the proper wear and tear requirements that brand new tires demand. This is why they can only use it in low impact applications. The other problem is we often have way better materials for the job. You see those "bricks" they make them into? Guess what, that's not environmentally friendly, because in order to recycle tires, you need to re-add oil. Now what do you think happens after a few years of those bricks sitting in the ground? That oil leeches out into the ground.
@@peoplez129 , most of this equipment is NOT sourced from 1st World countries. A lot of the machinery and equipment is either locally manufactured or imported from other developing countries in Asia or from Mother of all manufacturing, China. India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand are big Manufacturers of Heavy Duty industrial machineries and export such plants to other developing countries. These countries utilize these same methods of re-purposing and recycling, and have been doing so for decades.
Except it’s all cancerous N now they put it on backpacks for kids. Thats all cancerous material It’s called crumb rubber
This has been going on in the Western world for DECADES. Who do you think invented those machines? Yeah, the Western world, white people.
As someone watching from the US
• Watching your videos is most relaxing even at 2 x speed. Hope your customers appreciate the skill talent and dedication of your workers for this very important job for the community
• It’s good to see how well you understand the importance of recycling material and to get the job done efficiently - loads of experience is evident with this skilled set of workers
• Watching your people doing a great job make me think there is hope for the other parts of society who don't even try to have a job. Your crew is a great role model for all of us
• Thanks so very much for posting and sharing!
All the best and God Bless. 🇺🇸
Now remember, the TV Crew is coming in tomorrow, so everybody wear their safety apparel.
Do you KNOW that or do you just think so?
@@chandrasekhargrenze9211 Naw, I'm just being cheeky. Although there were some safety issues that gave me shivers.
I suggest you wouldn't know a "safety issue" if it bit you in the butt. Continue living your life believing you're so smart and everyone else is so stupid.
I wondered about that also. No way to know, I guess.
A very possible scenario
I worked at a huge horse ranch in Olathe, KS. 4 connected barns had 72 individual stalls. The floor of the barns is made of these rubber pavers. They're a really great product. We could do away with concrete sidewalks and replace them with these pavers.
Well the synthetic rubber that uses in the is made with oil, tires have rubber, synthetic rubber, petroleum and other products. It’s great that they recycled the waste product because oil is a limited resource that will run out sometime way in the future, 200-300+ years.
It’s highly cancerous. But sure let’s also put them on turf fields for kids to play on. You see Nigerias aero dynamic solutions. Haha
@@ivermectin1974so you're saying the dinosaurs died of cancer and turned into liquid cancer?
@@ivermectin1974I assume you just made that up.
Ai will take the front at first @n +#£^ 4 £
Well, we certainly have enough used tires in the World to make an endless supply of other useful products. From what I saw they were making quality products. Those rubber tiles looked like they would never rot or become slippery when wet and last a lifetime. Nice video.
Yes, I liked the paving blocks most of all.
On Long Island they used crushed tires and mixed it with asphalt and paved what is called The William Floyd Parkway with it
5 years later that stretch of Highway still looked brand new with no pot holes
Guess what they did ?
Nothing
It worked to well and they felt it would have put highway construction workers out of a job.
It’s all a scam.
Too bad they're leaching out all sorts of toxic chemicals like bezene's etc. into the ground water.
@@anguslean4058 RMA (Rubber Modified Asphalt) is in fact still used in various road projects. Its use is sporadic in most states but common in states like California and Arizona. The issue seems to be a lack of education as the RMA stuff lasts longer and overall is less expensive to maintain since they do last a bit longer.
The playground I played on as a kid had those rubber tiles. It’s definitely better than asphalt or concrete, but it does wear down over time. Certainly much sooner than a life time.
Whoever designed and built the machines they are using is the real genius. Kudos to the workers for doing a great job as well.
Mixing, conveying and sifting machines existed since the late 1800s. Nothing exciting there.
most likely a white guy, prob german lol. sure as hell wasnt a nigerian
MAke new tires of old tires. This will be real genius!
100% China machines.
Well done Nigeria! It looks like they're doing something good. I hope they prosper.
You must be new on Earth. 😅

I'm going to show this video to some of my union coworkers - they need to see how blessed we are regarding safety and health standards. Let alone wages...
Hard working people, blessings to them!!
Working without safety gloves and proper attire is really humiliation to the hard workers.

I worked in a van he used shirt factory and several of the boys using the big machines had a few missing fingers. Dangerous, I suppose the same thing here. God Bless.
...you kiddin , right?
😂hahaha.
Good one.
Great recycling. Saving natural resources to make products. Well done 👍
Yes, but all that rubber is going to end up irremediably scattered across the planet.
It still is limiting the amount. If these products were made from raw material, you have all the extra resources to process & these old tires would still be an issue for the environment. @@tkmaniac5812

This is a 19th century technique. Too many people, too many manual operations, because of this the process is very slow and there is a risk of errors and poor quality of the products. You can never reciclar "una gran candidad de neumáticos usados" with this antediluvian technique
@@rumenivanovtzonchev4072labour is there cheaper than machines. This keeps people working and the product cheap.
yes is a brilliant idea now ship those patio blocks to USA (Walmart,Home Depot,Lowes) please.
Simple yet very informative video of its kind......Nigerians are hardworking and creative people ....surely one day they can progress to a developing nation status .......
Great project. I am proud of my ancestral people. God bless Nigeria and the entire African continent. Greetings from Dominica!
Wow. Most countries recycle tyres.
Watch the same process in an Asian country, or in the USA. The machines and the humans all work roughly four times faster.
This is great! It's good to see powerful recycling working in Nigeria
Wow! Recycling the tires to make new things is amazing. I know the workers are working very hard and I worry about the chemicals or dust that can be inhaled and they should be wearing better hand protection and coveralls over the clothes. God bless them all!
Interesting… quite brilliant recycling! Hello from America to our Nigerian brothers and sisters.
I love that it looks less toxic and hopefully not toxic at all. If you melt it first creates nasty fumes. I bet there is way less waste thanks to them
Need to open one of those plants in El Paso. From what I see, used tires GROW in the outlying desert!
and who do you think will apply for these jobs in Tejas??? Trumpsters? NOPE.....
tf does that even mean? @@stevetravels6160
@@stevetravels6160maybe all the people getting welfare? We’re offering you a job! And cutting you off From freebies. Or like Biden wants bring in millions of future voters who are getting even better free stuff
@@stevetravels6160 Shouldn't have to be an application process.
Jobs should just be given to 'asylum seekers'... put them to work, make them earn, have them pay taxes. Get environmental nightmare products out the other end that they can use to build their shelters. Rinse, repeat.
Illegals should be made to do the same work... for 1/3 the pay with the other 2/3 going to pay for their housing which is built out of the same environmental nightmare products.
@@amzarnacht6710 you seriously these people are going to work. Give me a break that’s not why they came here.
well done Nigeria and the workers at that plant....you have jobs and are help save the earth...well done
Something positive to watch. Behind the scenes I hope the workers are being paid a living wage. They know their machines.
Very ingenious less waste more useful products
Great job
Excellent to see this. Tires are a huge world wide problem.
Well done whoever behind this venture an excellent idea, bravo to you Nigeria.
Please do make sure to take care of the most precious commodity that does not grow on trees, your organic workers ,how come they're not wearing gloves and hearing protection,work wear ? We Know you're based in Africa!! still,look after the product that make you wealthy.
You're doing a great job saving mother GAIA.
The end products look great! Quality Craftsmanship!
I love the way the bead is ripped right out of the sidewall!😮
It is not the bead it is the steel wire that holds the tire together. The bead is that edge of the tire that comes in contact with the wheel.
@@Dream.big.dreams there is a stranded wire metal ring in the bead that the metal or fabric ply(s) anchor to.
This is genius. I had no idea we had facilities like this in Nigeria. More of them.
😊
Aba, it's there@@user-kp3hw9wv1c

Such a variety of practical and ingenious products. Nigeria is resourceful, innovative, and hard working...wishing your country huge success!
Greetings from Turkey to Nigerians working under difficult conditions.
Thank you for not including the narration. I can see what is going on just fine. Also it's like industrial ASMR. ❤
Wow! 😄 Kudos! Nigeria 👏🤝😅
All these by-products from used tyres; this is how to create thousands of jobs! 🙌👌🙏😅
Many years ago I was aware of a company which froze the tyres (tires) and then milled them, removing the metal bead and belting magnetically.
The rubber crumb was then bonded used for flooring of many types….even athletic tracks.
What a great example for the rest of the world.
Create jobs, reduce landfill, recycle, create new products...Outstanding !
The developed world does this already, on a greater scale.
Very happy to see at least basic worker protection gear such as gloves, masks and eyeshields. And while not the best type, everyone is wearing shoes.
I thought exactly the same.. In India there is no protection.
But they really need hearing protection. My dad lost most of his hearing due to a noisy workplace. Affects the whole family.
Saudações nação Nigeriana!!! Bela iniciativa!!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Brasil
To be environmentally and socially responsible, every country should have recycling systems like this. Well done, Nigeria! 🧐
those sewing machines from the turn of the last century still working hard.. that's craftsmanship!
Amazing and we need a lot of this across the nation to boost economy
but only in Africa, please.....
Focussing on economy will be the end of your civilization.
We white people are proof of this.
Why?
Great Video. Watched it twice. I love the claw that RIPS the wire bead out of the tire.
I've seen several videos of Nigeria and Kenya creating great strides in recycling projects. Great ingenuity by these guys. It's horrible other nations haven't gotten on board with this or at least someone financing to make it bigger.
This is so good. Giving them wrk and wages to support their family. Hope they’re treated well
Outstanding!!! Great job, you are an example for the rest of the world.
Most of the rest of the world does it already.
The rest of the world does it faster, cheaper, better. Nigeria is roughly 75 years behind in the manufacturing process.
These productive people are the cornerstones of civilization 👍
Great!!!!👍 Good on you Nigeria!
Very clever i must say, and the world should take note how Nigeria can do things that other countries need to learn from them.
Harmonizing critical issues of carbon footprint is giving the world a breathing space.
Idiot, sorry, very intelligent.....
The rubber pavement will degrade because of UV light and set free microplastics.
Instead of that the rubber would be used better burnt in cement kilns.
CO2 ain't no problem because other factors like sun activity cycles have bigger influence than that.
I agree with you that in total we should enhance sustainability and there are many ways it could be done. But we should carefully watch not to get deceived.
In South Carolina, There is a company that grinds up tires and the ground up rubber is mixed with sawdust and fine wood chips and burned to make steam for large manufacturing facilities. There is no smoke from the boiler as it is high efficiency and completely burns the mixture.
But there are still some toxic things
@@imtheeastgermanguy5431 and there is always some foolhead bitching about every solution
@@ronblack7870 some people just think that they are smart
Thank you for sharing. This sounds like one of the better options out there assuming that they have proper filtration of exhaust fumes.
Tires are quite a toxic thing with all their metals in them etc. This feels to me far safer than having new products made from them because how would people possibly control all the toxins in the recycled products.
Transforming discarded item into a useful product. This is what entrepreneurship is all about.
Thanks Nigerians and All countries,that Do this!Take care!
Excellent work and respect for preserving the environment .
Fabulous creativity in making something out of less than nothing.
The enthusiasm is overwhelming. Nyuk nyuk nyuk. “Great project”, love the “wire removal machine”. 3:22
Genius idea to strip out the steel radial wire reinforcement. Kudos !!!
It looked to me like quite a lot of the steel wire was left in with the tires when they were chopped up. I was expecting to see an electromagnet at some point removing it.
@@vulpoRecycling machines in the US, Asia, and likely every other place in the world, is more modern. Modern machines remove essentially all of the steel/aramid.
Great job to these workers. The final products are durable & attractive. God Bless
more country's around the world should take note. and make similar tire recycling plants like this
Or to produce them with more employment send to them but then again rss to ship be probably insane.
They already do. Most developing countries have been re-purposing a lot of material for decades. It the Western Countries that waste most resources, and are spoiled by throwing away many useful products. Food wastage is also a huge issue in Western countries, due to their crazy regulations and also food and restaurant industry wastage millions of tons of good food everyday.
@@redfordrn I agree with that. the food waste here is crazy. Most people think a "Best Usec By Date" means expired and throw out the food even though it is still good. It just means the freshness quality will diminish.
Restaurants throw out good food that could be donated to the hungry. But would rather throw it out than chance 1 person saying they got sick from it and sueing them.
Most Recycling here in America is a total joke. Simply be cause what can be recycled is done so improperly and ends up in landfills anyway.
@@redfordrn The west does this allready, decades.
@@EmeraldHill-vo1csthen why do used tires litter yhe roadsides and town dumps everywhere?
Very impressive, automation with lots of job opportunities turning waste into useful items.
INCREIBLE!!!! Ejemplo a seguir para muchos países . Muchísimas gracias por compartir 🎉❤. Qué hermoso trabajo inspirador Nigeria.🎉
Este proceso se necesita en toda américa!!!! Genial!!!!
A totally good thing to watch. However, it certainly presents an odd mixture of machine and manual labor!
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺, excellent to see these people doing well with recycling the tyres 👍

Lovely camera work. Uplifting content.
Thank God someone came up with a solution with those tires. Usually, car repair shops charge for old tires for recycling. Then they dump them everywhere including the ocean. Finally, the ocean can breathe soon.
Yes, the world needed Nigeria to invent tyre recycling.
@@stephend4909whoever invented the machines they are using is the real genius.

😂
76% of the tires are recycled in the U.S.
Why are you talking utter rubbish? I found 10 different companies that recycle tyres in the US, within 2 minutes. You've only managed to make yourself look ignorant.
Nah, you can't tell me, that looking at this footage, Nigerian geniuses (genii) did not design and build and invent these amazing machines which do the work of many oxen. The joy on their faces as they produce high quality goods you drool to possess.@@mikeconey2164

FELISTACIONES MAESTROS SEGUIR BENDICIONES 👏👏👏👏
The whole process is utterly mesmerising! 🥴
I’m glad I stuck around til the end and found out what those bone shapes were used for
This is a good thing. Tires are recycled on a much larger and more efficient industrial scale in the U.S. The bead wire and steel belting are valuable scrap, and the rubber crumb has many uses.
Super, continuer le recyclage.
I see it very well, they work a lot and in the end what is rubbish turns out to be another type of product.
That's what happens in every country in the world. Nigeria just does it slower and with outdated machines.
Excellent! Rubber carpet and mats. Perfect use for the tires. Thank you
Great products.
Keep producing stuff ;)
Watching this in my IPad, a Boston Dynamics short came up on my phone, and Atlas was doing tasks at least as complicated as filling brick molds. Yeah, I know, jobs in Nigeria, but people here won’t do those jobs, and we still have the tires to deal with.
A whole lot of those jobs could be mechanized so only a few highly skilled workers could run the plant. And many are done very inefficiently too.
If I had the funding to produce such a plant, I’m pretty sure I could get workers to handle the machinery that it would take to produce such products.
Well done!
🇺🇸
Wow, they work so hard. Respect! The products look good too.
The process starts with a large number of tires. It turns them into a large amount of recycled material. Then a large number of products can be manufactured using that amount. Great video!
É ISSO AÍ, PAÍS POBRE TEM QUE SER CRIATIVO, RECICLAR E GERAR EMPREGO.
Are you for real, who told you Nigeria is poor, your media?
Hats of to you nigeria..may you always be blessed with creativity..godbless
"Safety First" written on the side of the building cracked me up.
Have you ever seen a more excited and energetic bunch of employees?
Have you ever experienced the heat and humidity in Nigeria?
they are upset because of using face masks during the recording of this video.
They didn't even know that those machines could work...
Wait till they go on break... cartwheels 😅
🤣🤣🤣@@dixiemay1996
Kodus to Nigeria on recycling used tyres rather then getting burnt and sending all that toxic smell all over.
If other countries can come together and sort this issue it will make jobs and recycling and production of products can be used for multiple usage.
"Hello" from "Maine" USA. I enjoyed watching this video from Nigeria very much. I like seeing a work crew doing their best while also getting along with each other. I've not had that very often while trying to work. I've quit many jobs because there was clowning around while I was trying to work. I picture them all throwing rubber bits at each other when the boss wasn't looking, stuff like that. I hope the pay is fair for you. I hope all are treated kindly. I hope you get vacation time so you can have that going for you and your families. I learned some things while watching this video. I learned how worn out tires don't have to be thrown away. I learned about several useful items that could be made from used tires. I learned that foreign companies can operate with safety in mind. The next time I go to purchase a pair of sandals I will remember you all. The next time I walk upon a rubber-crafted flooring too. I have a rubber bottom putting green that might have been made from material exported from Nigeria. God bless all of the hard workers. I'm very thankful that I watched this video.
That where the money that millionaire people in US give out, it should be giving protective gear for those workers and new machineries, not sending for charities that make people useless toward life. As long one get free money, there is not motivation to work. Like Elon said, do not destroy the west economy giving millions to charity. Give fish pole not the fish for eat.
Agree. And all entertainment artist should take turns. If a Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Brittany Spears or a Taylor Swift has already earned a gazzilion dollars, then let some poor person sing instead. They should retire after making enough to need in a whole lifetime.@@Brancaalice
