From 1 March 2024, waste minimisation regulations for tyres come into force. A tyre stewardship fee is to be paid by tyre importers, to be passed through the supply chain through to end users. Tyre disposal fees continue to be charged aswell, at least until 1 September. After that date, Tyrewise intends to cover the cost of the collection and recycling of used tyres from the stewardship fees. At this point, we still have not yet been advised what exactly the costs will be, though we are of the understanding that the requirement to on-charge customers will be enforced. We hope to have more information on this before the regulations come into force....
