Waste Tyre Management in Gauteng,South Africa:Government,Industry and Community Perceptions
详细信息    查看官网全文
摘要
Waste tyres have accumulated at landfills in South Africa, some are illegally dumped in open spaces or sold. This work discusses the waste tyre problem in South Africa as well as the environmental and economic benefits of waste tyre utilization for green fuels. The perceptions of government, industry and community on waste tyre management were investigated. To achieve the objectives a triangulation procedure was followed. This included personnel interviews, questionnaires and literature analysis. The research has shown that lack of knowledge particularly in the informal sector contributed to the waste tyre management problem. The lack of clear and focused legislation guiding the disposal and recycling of waste tyres remains a challenge. Pyrolysis was found to have the potential to address the waste tyre problem with the potential to reduce environmental impact and also contribute towards a green economy.
