What happened
A recycling factory on the outskirts of Ibadan, Nigeria, is processing thousands of discarded tires into rubber granules. These granules are used to create products such as paving blocks, interlocking tiles, and gym flooring. The factory employs about 62 people and collects tires from four states in Nigeria.

Why it matters
The factory addresses a national waste issue, as Nigeria produces millions of waste tires annually, many of which are burned. The operation demonstrates an industrial effort to convert waste into usable construction materials, led by a female entrepreneur.
