MAHE, SEYCHELLES / ACCESSWIRE / March 5, 2020 / When we think about vehicle pollution, we've probably think mainly about harmful emissions. We usually refer to Global-Warming, waste hazards and the health-harming effects of the smoke coming from vehicles.

There are only a few, or no one thinks of another serious effect of vehicle pollution. The research said that this is also one serious problem for every country. And It comes from tyres. Indeed, every year there are about 2 billion waste tyres produced and recycling is subjected to a very small number which is within 8-13%.

How come waste Tyres become a threat?

Natural rubber may be a minor component (sometimes as little as 20%), but the bulk of a modern tyre is a mix of synthetic compounds, fillers, binders, plasticizers and other chemical additives to add strength, waterproofness, etc. The exact composition will vary and is often kept secret by tyre manufacturers.

One important but less-than-obvious ingredient added to tyres is carbon black. It's a dark sooty material usually sourced from burning fossil fuels and is used to increase tyre strength and resistance to UV light. It's the main reason tyres are black. Carbon black is known not to be biodegradable, and is a ‘possible human carcinogen', according to a report published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. They are not easy to recycle unlike other waste, and so fewer people get interested in them. In that case, who should handle them? Where should we put them?

How can we get rid of these waste tyres?

Some car owners just left their waste tyres in the storeroom or in their garage. Some of them just throw and leave it at the roadside, but the worst, some of them burn them and turn the whole place to black, obviously because of the Carbon Black.

Founded in 2016, EMJAC is a blockchain-based green renewable energy platform, with the sole aim of recycling waste management (tyres) into green energy.

Essentially, the company uses a new proprietary TRU (Thermal Recovery Unit) which makes sure there's 100% waste tyre recovery minus release of harmful toxins to the environment. As "Airlock", it prevents any harmful emissions, once process tires fumes into the atmosphere.

EMJAC as a blockchain-based platform will integrate the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem, and by using blockchain, EMJAC will:

• Improve the transparency and traceability of global waste tires management and make sure there's a reduction of illegal dumping.

• It will ensure the accountability of logistics and production.

• Preserve the environment
