INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO. 25 of 2014
DATE OF PUBLICATION: 7 November 2014
Ms J Steenkamp (DA) to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs:
Has her Department taken any steps to facilitate the recycling of off road
tyres; if not, why not; if so, what steps have been taken?
2397. THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS REPLIES:
Yes.
Off road tyres are part of the approved Integrated Industry Waste Tyre
Management Plan (IIWTMP), hence their management is in accordance with the
waste tyre hierarchy (promoting waste minimisation, recycling and recovery
over landfilling). Incentives targeted at promoting recycling on waste
tyres are also applicable to off road tyres (training, mentoring, and
subsidies).
