What is Tyre Waste Certification?
Tyre Waste Management non-biodegradability of utilized tyres creates a major environmental problem. Unused equipment becomes an environmental hazard when it goes to landfills because it creates drainage obstructions and gives breeding grounds to disease-carrying mosquitoes.
Who Needs Tyre Waste Certification?
- Tyre manufacturers.
- Automobile manufacturers.
- Vehicle Manufacturers
- Tyre Importers
- The generation of used tires belongs to vehicle fleet operators together with vehicle maintenance centers.
Why Tyre Waste Management Authorisation (or License) is Important?
-
👉 1. Legal License
The EPR Certificate, introduced by CPCB, requires manufacturers and importers of tyres to register and manage tyre waste responsibly. Non-transportation may lead to legal punishment, registration cancellation or business break. -
👉 2. Trade Profit
With rising environmental awareness, customers and partners prefer EPR-influenced companies. A proper certificate contributes to the brand reputation, especially for exporters and vehicles. -
👉 3. Environmental Accountability
The tyres used, when left untreated, cause soil pollution, clog drains, and become breeding grounds for diseases. Recycling of tyres in rubber granules, fuels, or construction materials reduces pollution and promotes the economy.
Challenges in Tyre Waste Collection and Recycling
Producers are expected to tie with CPCB-registered recyclers, but limited availability of advanced tyre processing units, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, is a major logistics challenge. In addition, illegal dumping and operative sector operations can complicate traceability and compliance.
Simplified Process for Tyre Waste Management
-
👉 Step 1: Online Registration
Visit the CPCB EPR portal and create an account as Pibo (manufacturer, importer, brand owner) or waste tyre recycler. -
👉 Step 2: EPR Scheme Submission
A detailed extended manufacturer should present the responsibility plan, including the proposed mechanisms for assembling and recycling the tyres of the tyres introduced in the market and at the end of their life. -
👉 Step 3: Tie-up with recyclers
Cooperate with the authorised waste tyre recyclers and processors registered with CPCB for effective waste collection and treatment. -
👉 Step 4: Quarterly and annual Report
The volume of the collection, the adopted recycling methods, and the submission of a periodic report showing the status of compliance. -
👉 Step 5: Traceability System Implementation
Install a digital tracking mechanism (such as a barcode or QR code) to verify tyre recycling to meet CPCB traceability criteria. -
👉 Step 6: Certification and Monitoring
CP on the successful submission of the plan and verification.
