Overview:           

EPR for Tyres is a regulatory framework mandated by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) to ensure environmentally sound management of ELTs. Under this system, producers, importers and brand owners introducing tyres into the Indian market are legally responsible for their collection, recycling and disposal. 

This regulation applies to new tyres, imported tyres and vehicles fitted with tyres, irrespective of whether the cargo is moved through sea freight, air freight or road transport. The framework is administered by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) with a focus on promoting recycling, reducing landfill waste and integrating sustainability into supply chain and logistics operations. 

Benefits: 

• Market Legitimacy: 
  Ensures compliance with the Hazardous Waste Management Rules and EPR Guidelines for Tyres, strengthening your brand credibility. 

• Seamless Custom Clearance: 
  EPR registration is mandatory for tyre imports. Non-compliance may result in port detention, shipment delays or rejection by customs authorities. 

• Cost Efficiency: 
  Prevents Environmental Compensation (EC) penalties, helping businesses optimise overall freight and logistics costs including China to India shipping expenses. 

• Sustainability: 
  Supports a circular economy by converting waste tyres into valuable resources such as crumb rubber, steel recovery and pyrolysis oil. 

• Resource Conservation: 
  Reduces dependence on virgin raw materials and promotes responsible recycling within the logistics and transportation ecosystem.
