TYRE
PRODUCERS "A tyre producer may not manufacture, import new, part worn, retreadable casings or vehicles fitted with tyres or, distribute or sell new, part worn or retreaded tyres, unless they can demonstrate that inter alia they- (a) have an integrated industry waste tyre management plan approved by the Minister of Environmental Affairs (DEA) or, (b) belong to an existing integrated industry waste tyre management plan approved by the Minister.
The SATRP Plan was published for comment by DEA on 5 March 2010. Producers (suppliers of tyres into SA) not presently subscribers to the SATRP Co Plan can participate in the SATRP plan once approved by DEA. A once off contract fee of R10,000 excl VAT will be charged to defray the legal and admin costs involved as no income exist at present within the project.
According to the Waste Tyre Regulation, all Tyre Producers (Manufacturers and Importers of tyres, or vehicles or equipment with tyres) must subscribe to an Integrated Waste Management Plan, which indicates how the Producer will deal with their tyres once it becomes waste. The SATRP Plan proposes a phase in period of 5 years to ensure collection of all categories of tyres (e.g. Passenger, Commercial, Agricultural, OTR, Aircraft, etc.) It is suggested that Tyre Producers join the SATRP Plan to conform to the Regulation. Then only once their category of tyres are collected, will they be requested to contribute a green fee that will pay for the transporting of those tyres. [Phase one will cover the collection of passenger and commercial tyres.]
Please refer to the Waste Tyre Regulation and SATRP Company's proposed integrated industry waste management plan, for more details.

The DEA WTR Registration Number, according to DEA must be indicated on all trading documents e.g. where VAT Number is quoted such as company letterheads, invoices, statements, quotation etc.
