Tyre wastage is an increasing global problem. It threatens to engulf the world in a sea of rubber with disastrous consequences for the environment and human health.
But so is the noise of motor vehicles on any road-the high-piling dump of scrap tires. Definitely, tire waste poses an enormous environmental problem, but it does also offer solutions that can lead to sustainable and responsible practices. Such companies that deal with tires should comply strictly with an EPR policy. Now this guide will take you through the many processes and regulations about EPR for tyre waste, from the basics to how Diligence Certifications can ultimately help in compliance.
Be it your reasons:
Tyre Waste is also referred to as end-of-life tyres (ELTs); it is made up of tyres that can no longer be used for their original application. This can be attributed to several reasons: wear and tear, damage, or aging. Improper management of rejected tyres creates serious environmental hazards:
It is very important because this activity must completely be succeeded in minimizing the environmental impacts brought about by dumped tires as well as facilitating the circular economy. Collection, sorting, and processing of ELTs is part of this activity, which leads to different applications associating different advantages:
EPR is considered a policy approach in which this will hold producers accountable to manage their products at the end-of-life stage. EPR also applies to end-of-life tire waste management, where it is expected that tire manufacturers, importers, and brand owners will hence be responsible for collection, recycling, or disposal of the tires that they bring into the market.
Major advantages that can be derived from EPR:
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has extended the management of waste tires under the framework of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) following the above rules. The EPR framework is established by the Amendment Rules for Hazardous and Other Waste (M and TM) 2022.
Producers’ Responsibilities:
Responsibilities of Recyclers:
Responsibilities of Retreaders:
Retreading of scrap tires is permitted to retreaders, who have to be registered on the CPCB portal for issuing retreading certificates. EPR obligations of retreaders will be deferred for one year (till 2023). Submission of retreading certificates would suffice to fulfill the requirements, provided the end-of-life disposal is taken care of through an accredited recycler.
India’s EPR for tire waste is enacted by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). All producers are expected to register with the CPCB and obtain EPR authorization to show a commitment to responsible waste management.
A step-wise procedure is given below:
Submission of Information: The Applicant shall submit all relevant information EPR for Tyre Waste. Our expert team will accordingly verify documents and details submitted for any inconsistencies.
