Botswana university unveils rubber pavers made from waste tyres
The University of Botswana (UB) in collaboration with local company Sky Scene recently unveiled rubber pavers made from recycled tyres in Gaborone.
Speaking during the unveiling ceremony, David Norris, UB Vice Chancellor, said he is very delighted that the partnership has led to finding solutions to real problems faced by the communities, industries and government.
'The objective of the waste tyres recycling project is to reduce the accumulation of waste tyres by turning them into multiple useful products with profits,' said Norris.
The role of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, UB in this project is to conduct research and develop new machines and technologies for production from recycled tyre raw material. On the other hand, Sky Scene will produce some of the commonly used products such as rubber pavers, rubber tiles, and playground pavers.
An experimental section has been constructed using new rubber pavers on UB campus to serve as a demonstration site as well as to investigate some of the performance properties in real operating conditions.

The Elephant in The Room

In Germany, the Police report waste crimes, and a Google search for “Altreifen” almost always returns a number of crime reports about tyres abandoned or dumped in the wild. In the UK, only the larger incidents make it to the local press. It is presumed by the bona fide players that these fly-tippers are...
Retreading Included in Indian EPR Scheme
The new Extended Producer Responsibility for Waste Tyre Policy, published on July 23 by India’s Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change has provided a massive boost for India’s retreading industry by including retreading as an integral part of the Policy, thereby recognising retreaders as an essential part of the waste tyre management system. One of the enormous challenges facing both the retreading and recycling sectors in India has been the lack of organisation. This often led to a...

Spain’s TNU Continues to Educate on ELT
In a release from TNU, the Spanish EPR agency highlighted the benefits of recycling. All the waste generated by a tyre after its use, rubber, steel and fabric, are a rich source of material and energy resources since they can be reused, they explained. The depletion of natural raw materials and fossil fuels is forcing the world to seek more sustainable solutions. In this sense, the recycling of end-of-life tyres has important advantages. There are numerous ways of recovering and transforming its components into...
