Used tyres have been banned from landfill, under the Landfill Regulations 2005, this includes shredded and whole tyres. However, it does not include bicycle tyres or tyres with an outside diameter greater than 1.4 metres. Some landfill sites do use tyres as part of landfill engineering, but this must be stated in the PPC permit.
If your business produces waste tyres you will have to ensure you use a permitted waste contractor, who sends tyres for any of the following options:
- retreading tyres
- re-using part-worn tyres
- landfill engineering
- export for use abroad
- fuel (primarily in cement kilns)
- stockpiles.
WRAP is also working on breaking down the barriers to collection, segregation and reprocessing of waste tyres. This can be found on the WRAP website.
