Welcome to SATRP

The SATRP Company initiative was created by leaders in the tyre industry, at the request of Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) , to plan and administrate the waste tyre project. Any tyre producer may become a subscriber to the SATRP Integrated Waste Tyre Management Plan (The Plan). To date over 85% of producers have registered with The Plan as subscribers.

The SATRP Industry Plan provides for collection and disposal of waste tyres originating from the subscribers to the SATRP Industry Plan. The Waste Tyre Regulation calls for all pneumatic waste tyres to be dealt with but allows for various categories of tyres to be phased into the management process over a five year period. The SATRP Industry Plan proposes to deal with passenger and commercial vehicle tyres during the first year of operation. The SATRP Company estimates the mass of these tyres generated at tyre dealers across South Africa, at 95,000 tons annually. Additional tyre categories will be added to the management process annually.
