EPR Tyre

At GSES, we believe in fostering a circular economy through responsible waste management. One of the critical focus areas under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is End-of-Life Tyre (ELT) management. Tyres, when improperly disposed of, pose serious environmental and health hazards due to their non-biodegradable nature and potential to cause fires or become breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Under EPR, producers, importers, and brand owners of tyres are now legally mandated to ensure their end-of-life collection, recycling, and environmentally sound disposal.

What is EPR for Tyres?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for tyres is a policy-driven approach where the responsibility of managing waste tyres is assigned to the manufacturers or importers of tyres. The objective is to reduce the environmental footprint of tyres by ensuring their recovery, recycling, and reuse in a manner that minimizes harm to nature.

• Waste Tyre Collection & Aggregation: Coordinating with certified recyclers and collection partners to ensure efficient take-back systems.

• Recycling & Co-processing: Partnering with authorized recyclers to convert waste tyres into crumb rubber, pyrolysis oil, or energy.

• Documentation & Reporting: Maintaining real-time data, audit trails, and periodic submission of compliance reports to regulatory authorities.

• Awareness & Training: Educating stakeholders on safe disposal, EPR obligations, and circular economy principles.
