A Chilean company has found a new use for old tires.
00:03
The company is called T-Fight, and it's converting the black carbon generated from recycled tires
00:08
into a graphitic material that can be used in electric car batteries.
00:12
T-Fight CEO Bernarda Diaz says, we solved two problems.
00:16
One is the final disposal of tires, and the second is the demand that is being generated
00:19
for electromobility materials.
00:21
And when you obtain materials from other waste, you are generating what is known as the circular
00:25
economy.
00:26
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development says that hundreds of millions
00:30
of so-called end-of-life tires are going to waste every year.
00:33
T-Fight hopes to put such tires to use in electric vehicle parts.
00:36
Sales of such vehicles have been rising, and the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction
00:40
Act is designed to make them even more affordable and convenient for American drivers.
00:45
So your car may soon be running on tires in more ways than one.
