EPR Registration for Waste Tyre Management: A Comprehensive Guide

Waste tyre management has become a critical global concern due to environmental sustainability goals. EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) registration for waste tyre management is a strategic approach to mitigate the environmental consequences associated with tyre waste. This comprehensive guide provides an overview of EPR for waste tyres, its applicability, benefits, and the registration process.

Overview of EPR for Waste Tyres:
EPR for waste tyres obliges tyre producers to ensure environmentally friendly disposal. Hazardous and Other Wastes Amendment Rules, 2022, outlines proper use and management of discarded tyres. Effective from July 21, 2022, Schedule IX specifies responsibilities for manufacturers, recyclers, and retreaders.
Applicability:
Entities subject to Schedule IX provisions include:
Producer: Manufacturers, brand owners, importers, and entities importing waste tyres.
Recycler: Involved in recycling used tyres into various products.
Retreader: Engaged in replacing tread and sidewall rubber in worn-out tyres with good structural integrity.

Benefits of EPR Certification for Waste Tyre:
Sustainability: Encourages accountability throughout the tyre lifecycle, reducing illegal disposal.
Protecting Resources: Promotes recycling and recovery, reducing the need for raw materials.
Energy Savings: Supports tyre recycling, conserving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic Growth: Creates jobs in tyre recycling facilities, benefiting local economies.
Compliance Enforcement: Ensures tyre manufacturers meet waste management obligations, preventing illegal dumping.
Amended Rule Requirements:
Producers, importers, brand owners, and retreaders must comply with EPR standards. Develop a system for collecting, transporting, recycling, or properly disposing of used tyres. Applies to retreaders replacing worn-out tread.

Registration Process: Entities Covered: Producers, importers, brand owners, and retreaders. CPCB Web Portal: Register on the CPCB web portal before commencing operations. Collaboration: Entities must not work with unregistered producers or recyclers.
