(a) The sustainability of the remuneration to participants is dependent on budget allocation.
(b) Redisa did not adequately address the recycling of waste tyres. The stockpiles created by Redisa as well as waste tyres collected from collection points are sorted and pre-processed at depots prior to being delivered to processors and/or secondary industries. The Waste Bureau is gradually increasing its OTR pre-processing capability by incrementally procuring pre-processing equipment as well as exploring markets for the pre-processed OTR material. These efforts will then enable the Bureau to address the post levy stockpiles. Stockpiles which do not fall within the category above (Historical waste tyre stockpiles), are dealt with in terms of Regulations 7, 8 and 9 of the Waste Tyre Regulations of 2017. Owners of Historical waste tyre stockpiles are expected to register with the Minister as well as submit abatement plans to the Minister for approval.
(c) The Bureau has lease agreements in place with the depots in the attached list.
