WASTE TYRE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND REVISED REGULATIONS GAZETTED
- 20 March 2024
- Environmental Law
- SA Legal Academy
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries & the Environment has published a waste management plan for the tyre industry, along with amendments to the September 2017 waste tyre regulations.
Prepared by the Council for Scientific & Industrial Research, the new plan is legally binding, enforceable, and ‘must be implemented as a compliance mechanism to ensure that identified parties are held accountable’. It was released in draft form in December 2022 for public comment.
Amendments to the regulations were published in January 2023 for stakeholder input, revised – and gazetted in October 2023 for a second round of public consultations.
The Recycling Economic Development Initiative of South Africa’s integrated waste tyre management plan approved in November 2012 was withdrawn five years later. Since then, the department’s Waste Management Bureau has been responsible for waste tyre management, funded by the tyre levy.
