tire management fee used on new tires in South Africa is expected to generate approximately R700 million per year, of which 80 will be plowed directly into the development of a sustainable recycling tire industry, according to recycling and Development Initiative economic of South Africa REDISA.
Fees are implemented in the integrated tire industry waste management plan and is a potential model for other waste streams to follow in South Africa.
Industry Integrated Management Plan for waste tires.
Industry Integrated Management Plan for waste tires, formulated by REDISA, entered into force on 23 July 2012 and aligns the legislated Regulations 2009 tire waste under the Law on National Waste Management of environment 2008 well written by REDISA plan is the property of DEA and is administered by REDISA.
Industry Integrated Management Plan of waste tires is the first of several waste management plans in the industry that are integrated at the request of the Department of Environmental Affairs DEA says Hermann Erdmann, Director General of REDISA.
The plan works by charging a fee to manufacturers and tire importers to R2 30 VAT per kg Tire tires October 1, 2012 all manufacturers and importers must declare the imported tires produced in weight each month REDISA and pay sampling the first declarations were to be before 10 November 2012 and the first payments will be made at the end of January 2013 the tax is collected by REDISA and will be used to subsidize informal collectors and small, set up a network of depots of waste tires, and support recyclers in a program to collect, transport, store and recycle used tires.
Transport and collection is vital because no recycling plant can function if it does not load, said Erdmann Transporters will receive payments based on the truck weight and distance will be given specific service orders to collect a given amount of tires from a collection point, usually a tire sales and deliver them to a depot or a recycler where they will be weighed, said Dr. Chris Crozier REDISA once the initial collection system is established, carriers will be the quotas allocated additional tires Veld illegal stocks and they can provide and will be paid nominal shipping charges based on average costs that will create opportunities for very informal collectors to work with these carriers to share revenues because the carriers will not actually collect the tires themselves eXPLI Crozier THAT charges will also be used to subsidize university research in the various products that can be recycled tire rubber, such as o, bricks and tiles NIT.
The objective of the plan is to subsidize the collection of tires and tire recycling so that the tires do not end up being stored or dumped in landfills This will help to minimize the negative environmental impacts of tires and resource conservation in the process, the plan aims to create employment opportunities for people in the informal business sector and small and micro.
Erdmann said the plan focuses on used tires not as waste but as a commodity, and that the implementation of the fee, the collection of used tires become economically viable It is hoped that this will drive the collection 60 million waste tires that are currently stockpiled in Africa, South and lead the recycling market Erdmann tires further explains that the plan promotes the collection of tires in the informal sector as collectors will be paid more for the collection of tires that they will get to recover steel by burning tires.
The plan calls for the avoidance and reuse before recycling and recovery REDISA planning to introduce an education campaign on raising awareness around maximize the life of the tires and the ability to purchase retreaded tires that were before used instead of new tires.
Commenting on the progress of map Erdmann said that a computer system was set up to manage the collection of tires and manage the whole program All major tire producers and importers have registered with REDISA and educates small REDISA organizations to register as well, says Erdmann this stage, the collection depots do not work says Erdmann deposits provided will be placed near areas where waste tires are generated in order to minimize transportation costs ago some tire recyclers currently operating this account for a small part worn tires in total generated, and more will be established in the next year or two, says Crozier dealers, recyclers and transporters are invited to register online with REDISA .
Erdmann added that the integrated industry waste tire management plan has received compliments from the French and Danish, who run similar projects in their own country France manages a producer responsibility program where he volunteered to pay the tax on tires only about 70 new conform, with about 30 riders, which distort market competitiveness Erdmann said, and recyclers receive less money in South Africa Industry integrated management plan for waste tires ensures that everyone pays competitive landscape and levels, Erdmann said.
