Salmi Tires Will Be Back On The Road… In A New Form

The estimated 40 million used tires that were moved from Erhiya, south of Saad Al-Abdullah, to the Al-Salmi tire recycling plants will return to the streets of Kuwait. They will be transformed into an environmentally clean product and will be used in the asphalt mixture to pave the roads of Kuwait.

Al-Rai toured the recycling plant located at Kilo 67 on Al-Salmi Road, and met the CEO and partner of the Abisco International General Trading Company Eng. Ala’a Hassan, who said that the tire recycling project kicked off in 2016 and the production began in 2019.

The factory was on a plot of land 20,000 square meters allocated by the Public Authority for Industry, at a cost of 4 million dinars and has the production capacity to extract materials from 3 million tires annually and converted into various products.

Engineer Alaa explained “the main objective of establishing the factory was to make Kuwait environmentally clean because the ‘dumped’ old tires was in excess of 40 million, accumulated over the years on a part of the land which caused great visual and environmental pollution.
