Tyre Category Collections:

Phase one is planned as

• Category one – Passenger, light commercial and heavy commercial tyres supplied for; licensed highway vehicles with rim sizes 8" to 24.5" and an outside diameter of less than 48.5".
• Collection of waste tyres in this first category will start not later than twelve months after the date of approval of this Integrated Industry Waste Tyre Plan by the Minister of DEA.

Additional categories and phase in times

The SATRP Company will add one additional category of tyres to the collection process per annum. All categories have to be dealt with within five years after starting the Plan. Various categories will actually require very different procedures. Producers that join the SATRP Plan will only start contributing a green fee once their category of tyres can be collected.
