PPC has concluded an agreement to source waste tyres from the Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of South Africa (Redisa) for use at its De Hoek cement plant in Piketburg, Westerm Cape. PPC is also investigating the possibility of using waste tyres in some of its other plants, according to Azola Lowan, the executive for investor relations and strategy.
A FIVE-year initiative to create a sustainable industry to recycle millions of scrapped tyres every year, is making progress and attracting international interest.
Estimates of the number of abandoned tyres lying across South Africa range from 60-million to 100-million. Another 11-million or so are added to the stockpile each year as vehicle owners buy new ones. Many of the scrapped tyres end up in landfills, while others are burnt for heat or left lying in the open.
Reacting to what it considers a serious health hazard and a danger to the environment, the Department of Environmental Affairs two years ago ordered that the tyre industry should be the first in South Africa to develop an industry waste management plan.
State Senator Patty Ritchie announced that nearly 4,500 waste tires totaling nearly 70 tons have been eliminated as a result of the recent free waste tire drop off events, held in Oswego County. Tires disposed of brings the two year total of tires eliminated through the Senator’s initiative aimed at protecting public health and the environment, as well as cleaning up our region, to nearly 40,000, which translates to roughly 560 tons of tires.
SOUTH AFRICA is slowly eating into its mountain of scrap vehicle tyres, with 19 percent of old tyres recycled last year – a jump from just 4 percent two years ago.
Yesterday, the Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of SA (Redisa), a non-profit company responsible for building a viable recycling industry with the focus on recycling vehicle tyres, said 2 318 jobs had been created by tyre recycling since the inception of Redisa in June 2013, and 190 small and medium businesses had been created.
In that time, Redisa had diverted about 130 000 tons of waste tyres from the waste stream.
Redisa director Stacey Davidson said between the start of December last year and the end of April, 70 423 tons of waste tyres had been collected. In addition to the jobs created, 45 depots had been established for scrap tyre collection.
