According to 2016 estimates from the Columbian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, it is estimated that 5,300,000 used tires are discarded into landfills each year. The prevalence of recycling used tires is very low, spotlighting a severe environmental issue. Until passing recent sustainability initiatives, no formal mechanism enabled support for gathering, reprocessing, and reusing the raw materials (i.e., rubber) from used tires. Through the enactment of Resolution 1326 of 2017 (Selective Collection and Environmental Management Systems of Used Tires), the Columbian government committed to solving this problem. By providing funding to incentivize increasingly ambitious recycling targets, the government aims for an 80% recycling rate by 2025 of used tires from motor vehicles, commercial trucks, bicycles, and recreational equipment.
Despite the incentive, the looming question remained: "What to do with all of these recycled tires?" SateLite solves this problem by shredding recycled tires into rubber granules and using the reclaimed material to build safer playgrounds, playing fields, and pedestrian walkways.
