Did you know that 5,000,000 tyres are manufactured every day?
Did you know that almost none of them are recycled?
They were invented in 1847... that's a LOT of tyres!
You may remember Florida's Coral Reef project that turned into an environmental disaster (above).
Or the fire in Kuwait that sent hundreds of tons of toxic smoke across the globe, as seen in the cover image of this campaign and below.
Across the globe, millions of tyres are dumped, never to be used again.
Surely in 2024 we should be doing something about this?
How are we not (at the very least) turning old tyres into new ones?
There is one company in the world that is doing just that... ONE.
My name is Richard, I'm from the UK, and I want to do something about this.
I am launching this campaign as the first stage of crowd-funding, in an ambitious attempt to build a start-up company that will tackle this environmental disaster.
It baffles me that in 2024 among the wealth and power of the 1st-world countries like the UK, USA, Germany, China, Japan, Canada, France, there is only one privately funded company that is turning old tyres into reusable materials. ONE!
According to a video featuring an executive at the Danish company, their process is a closely guarded secret. WHY?
Is the health of the planet not more important that your profits margins and exclusivity in the sector?
Thankfully, I know how they do it.
In this first wave of crowd funding, I am looking to reach a goal of £5,000 in order to start a business that will become one of the only company's in the world to tackle our tyre and plastic waste epidemic.
With this funding I can start the initial business start-up process and I will invest in a Grants Copywriter to help me fund the next few waves of investment campaigns among the 'big leagues'; hopefully this will raise the millions of £ it will take to fund an industrial plant.
With the plants in place across the world, together we can reduce tyre waste down to 0%.
If successful, there was also a new scientific breakthrough in August that turns plastic waste into valuable, rare materials, which I would look to add to the services.
Thanks for reading.
In the time you read this, 20,000 more tyres were dumped onto nature.
