Partner blog feature: Using clean technology to recycle tires

Jan 09, 2024

Every year, the world generates over one billion used tires, yet only about 100 million are recycled. In Nova Scotia, more than a million used tires are diverted from landfills each year through a Divert NS program.

Nova Scotia-based Arduro Sustainable Rubber Inc. has developed a clean technology process that turns waste tires back into high-grade, valuable raw materials. “We use novel chemistry to recover 95 per cent of the materials that initially went into a tire,” says CEO Ian Lowe. Arduro, through the AscendBio program supported by Verschuren Centre and Invest Nova Scotia, is now working with Divert NS to evaluate the technology using Nova Scotia tires.

Invest Nova Scotia is a Bioenterprise Canada Regional Partner and the Verschuren Centre is a Collaborative Partner.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
