Expertise in Used Tyre Import License
The MoEFCC has laid down provisions regarding the import of used tyres through the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 which offers the Used Tyre Import License. It is equally stated that used tyres have to be disposed off in an environmentally sound manner as required by the provisions of the national waste management policy nobody can import these products without seeking previous authorisation of the MoEFCC. This process seeks to show that the imported tyres will be taken to approved recycling or disposal centers, hence not pollute the environment. This regulation seeks to regulate the export, import and transit of what it deems to be potentially harmful waste as well as encourage proper waste management. In an attempt to curb the adverse impacts associated with the inadequate disposal of the used tyres, MoEFCC lays down some strict policies that make importers to be more accountable for proper handling of the end products. These regulations are among India’s measures to boost the protection of the environment and transition to a circular economy.
Governments use import licenses as a means of controlling what comes into their countries. In relation to old tyres, these licenses may be mandatory so that only those which meet certain safety standards are brought in and also to limit the number that finds its way into the local market.
The aforesaid SOPs have been finalized on the basis of recommendations of the Technical Review Committee constituted under Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans-boundary Movement) Rules, 2008. The SOPs indicate the technical requirement with respect to environmentally sound operation of such units and import of such waste for the purpose of recycling and recovery.
In this reference undersigned is directed to convey that State Pollution Control Board (SPCB)/ Pollution Control Committee (PCC) shall ensure compliance with these SOPs before issuing any authorization under Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans-boundary Movement) Rules, 2008 or Consent to Operate (CTO) under Air (Prevention 86 Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Compliance with these SOPs shall be certified by SPCB/PCC on the basis of inspection. The certificate shall accompany the CTO and Authorization as inspection report for all purposes.
