They should invest in factories like this in every country ❤❤
Western politicians hate these kinds of operations, why? Because there's little to no profit in ot for them!!
No they shouldn't, rubber tires are toxic and cause cancer and respiratory illnesses and this is only spreding it around even more.
💯 selling shares??
They did for a while years ago at playgrounds but it faded out in my area anyway. USA, New England
It's a crying shame that we don't have a definitive program here in the states for recycling of used tires.
I call that "Lame". ♻️
May she continue to succeed and prosper!
Amen 🙏🏻.
Amen
She's a beautiful lady
Unliving children what she's doing. Well done right
ASOMBROSO..NO ENTIENDE
This system should be used in all countries. Well done, Nigeria.
No it should not. Imagine how they stink from the heat when lying in the sun. In additon how much will be transported into the air through the abrasion?
@@robertthomas6127if they do then nobody would recycle them
@@robertthomas6127the stink would really only be a problem for the workers, trash is in landfills 24/7 and most ppl don’t smell it unless you work there, i do agree with the issues of byproduct getting into the air tho
@@kevle0405 .... Maybe I should have phrased it differently. When I wrote how they would stink I was not thinking of just the smell, but the fumes that one has to breathe in. It takes years if not decades for the fumes from rubber to evaporite. This may be irrelivant for some people for driveways. However it is not healthy for children when used for playgrounds. I wish this company sucess with their product, but they should advance with caution as in the end wheather the tires are burried in the ground or laid on the ground it will remain pollution. Have a good day.
@@robertthomas6127not unless they build it indoors, shielded from sunlight...
She is so well spoken
And she started this business at a very young age
So hats off to her
Well done
She's British.
@@a.k1102 really
@a.k1102 how do you know?
@@silvermorona look her up and read her story
This is the kind of company that deserves support and a reward
This is amazing work …. Great job! This should be required for all tire manufacturers to have to do this.
Yes they make it then they should take them back to recycle
❤❤❤❤❤
Shhhh you’re spouting too much common sense. You know big business will rather spend millions in a politicians pocket than millions in keeping the earth safe.
No worries, manufacturers can do it, on your expense, you will just pay tenfold the price 😂
@@demhunte7927exactly
Major respect for Nigeria! ❤ Ingenious solution that should be implemented worldwide!
Wow amazing..Salute keep up let's help our mother Earth 🌎
A Big Thanks to Awesome business owners like this in countries needing work to feed their families. I pray for Nigeria that they come out Richer for their sacrifices. Great job!!!
Welcome to kenya we can try it too
@@davidmuli9121he didn’t mention Kenya either did the video say anything about Kenyans
This is the kind of Black QUEEN we need in AMERICA with some intelligence, BEAUTY, and ambitious....
AND BY THE WAY SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL ❤
she is wanted everywhere, but i think nigeria needs her more than america
We have been holding it down for years
Please.
I am glad Nigerians are taking business and environment into their hands. Hello from Indian 🇮🇳 American 🇺🇸
Brilliant. Need more companies that do this. Profit from trash, recycling for earth, employment for ppl, less harmful pests for health, innovative new products.
Very impressive Nigeria 😊👍
No we don't need more companies spreading toxic rubber into the environment, causing more cancer and respiratory illnesses around the world.
No we don't, we don't need to keep spreading more toxic rubber that causes cancer and respiratory illnesses back into the environment.
No we dont
@@ryanfenech196 Why not 😭
It's all a con and you've lapped it up. I bet you think the sea level is rising? 😂
I think if it wasn't for the cost and lack of space, recycling would be easier and more effective.
In the world of putting profit over the environment, the fact that it’s easier to trash rather than recycle prevents it from occurring more
This company has the right idea, find a product that is needed and can be made out of a recycled material. I know there is a big carbon foot print when making concrete, I wonder what it is for recycling tires? I hope it is less. Wouldn't that be nice, decrease trash, decrease carbon emission for production of alternative product.
"If it wasn't so ineffective, it would be more effective!"
-You, 2023
Oh yeah cos the world doesn’t have enough money to sort this out get real🤣🤣 they could end homelessness if they wanted too
Every tire manufacturer should be required to recycle their used tires. Then they can sell the rubber and steel to other companies for other products.
A Nice Job you started and a nice business for herself, helping the community. A hard worker best of luck.🙏👍
YEEEESSSS👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Mama Africa Need s more innovators like this.
All respect and admiration for you, Madame!
Impressive Nigeria 🇳🇬 🗿
That is the first time that I’ve ever seen the word impressive and Nigeria in the same sentence.
It be pretty impressive if they actually realised how toxic it is, and that spreading it around even more won't fix the health and environment issues that arise from rubber 👍.
Wow!! 😊😊 Wat a brilliant idea..go! Nigeria we lub u!!
May Allah give them the best life in this world and hereafter Ameen❤️🤲🏼
Make sure to have your employees wear better mask!! 😷 But great idea. They should do this in every country.
Nigeria???? You must be kidding. These folks don't care about the carnocingen.
@@deemaverick987...no employee health safety code of conduct!..A full PPE policy can not be implemented in such environment...because life is not valued at all!!
Yes this. Eye protection and a respirator around the shredded tires is not too much to ask.
You people always have something to say. Take care of all the man made problems in your part of the world first before calling out others who are doing something about their problems.
Toxi job
It's a step in the right direction. Excellent work. More recycling plants need to do more.
No it's not. It's like a dog chasing it's tail 😂 spreading toxic rubber back into the environment isn't the answer.
Deleted my comment from 5hrs ago because you know I'm right 😂😂 😂 👍
This Is A Very Positive Idea For Nigeria... Would Like To See More Of This Globally..❤ Best Wishes..Our World Needs More Positive Thoughts
God bless this woman, showing us how it’s done. Make the difference, be the difference.
She should take this business globally. It’s an amazing use of a recycled material.
First, I would like to say, thank you very much for attempting to help make this world a better place because if you burn those tires like they’ve been doing, it is destroyed always only even more and you trying to save it which is a very beautiful thing. I hope that you find yourself a good man have some kids and your business becomes a little bigger so that way you can do more for the world end. It just started just a little bit. You can do a lot more.
Rubber is toxic and causes cancer and respiratory illnesses. All they are doing is spreading it around back into the environment. This is not the answer.
Open your eyes
😂 how do you know she needs a good man?
They should rethink using them on children’s playgrounds the particles in tires can be dangerous and carcinogenic various studies related to the reuse of old theirs like in Astro tuff and the problems coming with that
Maybe they can put the tire mulch under another layer of a higher quality safe product. I agree though. There are plenty of applications
I recently learned about astro-turf causing 'Lymphoma' in Football players
There's always something wrong with something. How about making better tires without all the cancer crap that goes in tires.
Not all babies chew on bricks
There actually quite nice ,when I was doing land scape maintenance we had a couple parks with that stuff around the swings and slides and jungle gyms .It was clean ,fast to move on it didn't bog you down like sand and no getting skinned up!
Micro plastics: Allow me to introduce myself…
Great job. We need more recycling ideas and eco friendly ideas for Nigeria.
And, notably, it is a woman who has the courage to take on the task! Its time for the girls!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Ingenious Invention & Business! ✨🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 🙌🏾✨
Huge respect to Nigeria for this. This is a Huge deal
Good job to this woman and good job Nigeria! I hope other countries would follow.
So from what I've learned from these videos is the best way to get rid of something that's hard to get rid of is by turning it into bricks
Lots of respect to you
Incredible business. Wish we had this ingenuity in Canada.
Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 ❤🎉❤🎉
Well done👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The person who came up with that method is very good, I wish there was something like that in the Philippines.
They should be done all over the world. Amazing work.
Every person on this planet should be proud of her God 🙏 bless her
Really?
The Netherlands just banned fake turf because it is tested to have higher than saleable levels of chemicals, and the turf is also made of recycled tyres. Way to go, Nigeria.
Why only in the Netherlands are they banning a way to stop ✋️ the tires from being dropped in the ocean n landfills what's the solution than? If you know so much
What's the solution than? To stop the tires from going into the ocean n landfills
@@patrickwynkoop9442Send them back to the tire manufacture, it should be theirs and the gov responsibility to fix this issue. spreading toxic rubber that causes cancer and respiratory illnesses isn't the answer.
@ryanfenech196 if you send them back to the tire manufacturer then they just do the same thing as Africa or they dump them in the ocean to make reefs or they go in the landfills so that is why I asked what's the solution cause sending them back to the manufacturer isn't the solution I totally understand but the government n manufacturer doesn't care
She deserves a state of the art perfectly clean facility
Government should support this kind of businesses as much as they support EVs
Such an amazing idea and creative way to reuse tire materials. Wonder if it could be used as walkways/sidewalks?
Sure
My Nigerian people are the Greatest ❤
Every country should have a factory like this
The way she said mosquitoes with her eyes half closed had me cracking 😂😂😂
the burden to recycle must be the one who produce them,the Tire maker and the government have the Word Sober to enforce regulations,
We need her to help the world 🌎 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💙 💜 🌎 🙏
This young woman is a genius using tires that were thrown away to recycle them and make different products to help the environment and it puts money in her pocket so that's a good thing
Love to see that recycling through an African perspective is changing more and more. Becoming more eco aware and making a positive impact on the environment and communities ❤
I love how they act like they invented this lol
Good work 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When it gets hot outside, all you will smell is tires 😂
Great idea! Should be done world wide.
So, they recycle "hundreds of tires a day," yet they have over 400,000 tires on site at a time. So those 400,000 are not "breeding grounds" for mosquitos? And, if just one of those piles were to become on fire, they will burn for many months, massively polluting the air. Also, the workers with no ventilator masks are just asking for major health problems from inhaling toxic dust particles. Tire pollution is not just a problem with lack of proper recycling, but also on the side of every roadway. When your tires wear, the particles are cast on the roads to be washed to the sides and into waterways. Solutions? Only the future will tell...
Can't tires be recycled into tires again?
Kind of, just not inflated tyres as you have to decompose the rubber and silicate compounds that are chemically bonded together back into oils and carbon. 50+% of a tyre is just carbon dust which is what makes them black.
What ends up happening to most of them is they get burned to generate power in very poor countries because old tyres are cheaper than coal but much, much worse for pollution.
Walking on a rubberized walkway feels like heaven to your tired feet.
I applaud her on this initiative...
We used to do that here , now they got it
This is so great I hope they continue with this.
This is an actual solution. Excellent
Great idea I hope more companies do this
Nigeria seems to be the home of innovators.
She's doing a public health service as well as providing jobs! What a cool lady
This is really beautiful to see. I love such ingenuity 😌
Wow, she is actually making a difference
They are literally saving lives and our common habitat
This needs to be done everywhere!
They should have small scale recycling centers like this everywhere. Every county uses its own tires to repair roads/ make asphalt in their locale.
I like her! She’s providing jobs for her community and doing good at the same time.
Super super excited about this world's most beautiful country and company
Adapt all the safety measures for the working men, such a huge pile clear it avoid malaria. Hats off great job
Advertise so that more Nigerians can get to know about this. Great effort
Smart people, great job guys.👍
thank u so oooo much ma. this is better than region fighting on social media.
thank u Ms ifedolapo
Please bring this brilliant Buisiness to South Africa and teach us. We have millions of old tyres laying around.
This is what ecology looks like, not the destruction of agriculture as in Europe
Awsome this is program passed on to the rest of Africa to help creating work this Lady are a real person with an hart
What a beautiful, intelligent, industrious entrepreneur. ❤
Good for her!! So glad she owns this company!!
Beautiful! Brilliant!
Thank you!
You are doing a wonderful job, recycling is very necessary to make the planet earth clean and green.
That block process is awesome. At my old High School our track for track and field Goodyear donated processed tire medium for the track surface & install. It was awesome!
Right on sister proud of you may God be with you all the time and more success to you!
Amazing work! ❤ Thank you
Nice work thank you for getting some of this giant problem cleaned up ♥️
Good to know, So proud of you
Wonderful idea Happy for your company
What i never understand is just HOW these people start these businesses, you need money to start something like this, and a fair amount too, i've had so many great ideas but i've never been able to afford to actually start any of them up and i live in the UK, let alone somewhere like there! Just truly amazing that she's been able to set that up!
She’s awesome!! You go girl!!
Glad to see these being recycled into a useful product.
Hopefully the third world countries should invest with this rubber tire recycling factories like Nigeria. More power to the intelligent Nigerian woman, Gbu more.
Thanks for your innovative contribution. ❤❤❤
Awesome, keep it moving!Brick by brick, business by business it will breed success!
Keep up the good work, and oh yea, Thank you !!! 😊😊😊
"Hey guys, be careful with mountains of stored tires like that."
- Hagersville, ON
Yay! It’s a start. Let’s keep going!
This is great, finally taking progress into they're own hands
Hope all cities worldwide,got their factories❤
