Private individuals and legal entities will be obliged to take the used tires to authorized collection points. Burying and abandoning tires will be banned, as the regulations on the management of used tires that were approved by the Cabinet provide.
Under the regulations, tire producers will need an environmental permit and will have to ensure the creation of a used tire collection network through the agency of car service centers, shopping centers and parking lots.
By approving and implementing the measures stipulated in the regulations, the Government aims to recycle and use the energy of at least 75% of the total quantity of used tires that will be collected until 2026, IPN reports.
