Amarildo Silva, a 23-year-old entrepreneur with a keen sense of creativity, He has always aspired to work for himself and has done so for the past year and a half via crafts. Amarildo turns recycled tires into cat and dog beds, as well as poufs, environmentally friendly garbage cans, and even Christmas decorations.
This young man has dedicated his life to creating these priceless works of art, which mostly benefit dogs and cats.
Amarildo cuts, washes, paints, and sketches with zeal every day. He lives in Campina Grande, Paraiba, Brazil, and it’s astonishing what he can accomplish using stuff that most people would throw away.
Amarildo explained:
«I spotted several pups resting in the middle of the street inside old tires, so I began looking for animal welfare organizations in the city, and I discovered that they, too, utilized tires as beds for the animals. It was then that I decided to make them a unique and entertaining model.
Amarildo strives to bring unique ideas that have a positive social and environmental impact on a daily basis.
Initially, this young guy donated the tire beds to non-profit organizations. He shared images of his inventions on social media, attracting the attention of hundreds of individuals who began putting orders for the beds for their pups and kittens.
Amarildo used to work as a cashier operator at a grocery chain, but three years later he was able to realize his ambition.
This artisan has produced almost 1,500 beds to far. His family assists him with the production, which takes place in his home. The streets are cleaned of old tires.
Amarildo explained:
“I collect tires in large quantities, whether from the streets, tire businesses, or abandoned lots… I only have my family’s backing, and I only take little moves with no external funding.”
Amarildo explained:
“When I released a snapshot of the concept on social media, many people loved and shared it. Orders come in from all over the country, but I don’t have the infrastructure to accommodate everyone.”
This young man’s concept was so popular that he was invited to appear on TV Globo’s “It’s Home” in Rio de Janeiro in February of this year.
Amarildo also supports workshops that turn tires into handcrafted items. He is now working on projects in a public school in Campina Grande as well as in the city of Remigio, in the state of Agreste.
