Yokohama tyres re-used as beds for stray dogs

Yokohama has donated around 190 factory scrap tyres to Neighbourhood Woof - an NGO that will be re-using them to provide durable beds for stray dogs in the shelter in Delhi.

Neighbourhood Woof helps local stray dogs which are injured and also conducts sterilization and vaccination programs. According to the NGO, tyres can be easily disinfected and re-used as beds for dogs during the winter season.

According to the company, Yokohama India is said to have one of the lowest scrap ratio plants in the Yokohama Group. Tyres which do not meet the company's standard are scrapped.
