Effective transport key in managing the waste tyre problem
As with any economy aiming to move ahead, South Africa needs many entrepreneurs - they create and bring to life new technologies, products and services, build new markets and create jobs along the way. REDISA provides technical and business support to small and medium enterprises, helping them to succeed, grow and, in turn, create further job opportunities.

Jack Segae, a transporter who owns NSS Projects and Consults cc in Kempton Park, is one of the many small businesses working with REDISA to assist in alleviating the problem of waste tyres in the area. “When I registered my transport business with REDISA I was not sure how things would work out, but I was fascinated by the plan, especially the focus on developing small businesses and creating jobs while cleaning up the environment,” Segae said.
Transporters are the cornerstone in the collection of tyres from micro collectors and dealers and are tasked with delivering them to the approved depots and processing plants. Through the established and growing transporter network REDISA is able to meet its mandate of diverting waste tyres and creating job opportunities, whilst managing the waste tyre problem.
“Transporters registered with REDISA form an integral part of the logistics process that brings the REDISA Plan to life. Thanks to the dedication of our transporters and collectors, REDISA has been able to meet and exceed requirements of the mandates set by the government,” says REDISA director, Stacey Davidson.
REDISA supports the local tyre recycling industry through infrastructure investment, business support and research on new applications for waste tyres. REDISA has put 80% of its revenue into supporting the circular economy, through investment back into the industry and creating a market for the handling of waste tyres. At the end of June 2016, this resulted in over 3,000 jobs and 200 small businesses being developed.

As Segae’s business grows, his goal is to continue learning and to develop his skills around tyre recycling. He also wants to educate others about the importance of a clean environment.
