In this video I explain what we mean by circular economy, I go
through all the things we can do to go from our current economy
to a circular economy and I use many examples. At the end I also
recommend a very good book if you want to learn more. You’ll
see… there is a lot more to it than just recycling.
Circular economy is when everything is healthy food for
something else. In other words, it means running the economy
like nature runs its own business. To create a circular economy,
we can split into two categories the things that we need to run
into closed loops: technical and biological materials. Two
transition strategies can be very helpful as we are trying to
create a circular economy: substitution and dematerialization.
Of course, creating a circular economy is only one piece of the
sustainability puzzle and many other aspects have to be taken
into account to get 100% sustainable (climate change,
sustainable energy, sustainable agriculture, social
sustainability, etc.).

[center]Turning Waste Into Wealth: The Story Of Favour Oluma,
Who Makes Furniture From Used Tires[/center]
I would like to share the inspiring story of a young woman from
Nigeria, Favor Oluma, and what she is doing to help her
community and the planet. The video below, shared by Women Power
Africa, an initiative by Valentine Zoza that focuses on
empowering women throughout the Africa continent, shared
Favour’s story.

Favour takes used tires and turns them into furniture. In the
video, Favour shared what exactly she does with the tires.

“I create affordable, adorable, quality, flashy, and comfortable
interiors out of tires for use in homes, hotels, corporate
offices, and other outdoor infrastructures.

“I’m an orphan; lost my mom nine years ago and suddenly, my dad
who became the bedrock of my life, passed away in 2020. My life
was torn apart. I was devastated. Hope became gloomy for what
becomes of my life.
“My desire to succeed powered by self-belief, determination,
commitment, creativity, focus, and hard work has kept me going
in the face of adversity, hopelessness, and life challenges.”

Favour is currently in school. She’s at her 400-level at the
Federal Investor of Technology Minna in the Niger State of
Nigeria. She’s studying soy science and land management.
“I consider myself as an entrepreneur with multiple talents.

/>My passion for creativity is unlimited and I have always been
known to turn lemons into lemonade from childhood. It’s my
desire to turn all the wastes around me to wealth and to help to
create thousands of jobs in Nigeria in the process.
“This journey has started with my passion to turn all tires in
Nigeria into useful products, and for the benefit of mankind.”
Her main focus is on empowering both women and youth while
transforming waste into wealth and creating jobs. The narrator
of the video emphasized that wherever you are right now, he
hopes that you are inspired by Favour’s story and her mission. I
was certainly inspired and moved. Her mentality of turning waste
into wealth is a powerful one — and one that will benefit our
planet. Favour’s goal of turning every used tire in Nigeria into
furniture is noble and attainable. And it brings attention to
the fact that used tires are everywhere.
I’ve seen them discarded on the side of the road many, many
times. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the
US generated around 290 million scrap tires by the end of 2003.
That is a lot of tires. The EPA noted that they often took up
space in landfills or became breeding grounds for mosquitoes and
rodents when they were stockpiled or illegally dumped. Today,
there are markets for scrap tires, and Favour’s is definitely
one that I admire.
