Irish Tyre Industry Criticised Over Waste Management

The Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government has blasted the tyre industry for its failure to comply to the Waste Management (Tyres and Waste Tyres) Regulations 2007. According to the Irish Trucker website, Department officials met with members of the Irish Tyre Industry Association (ITIA) to discuss complying with the regulations amid growing fears over how tyres are disposed of. Furthermore, the legal requirements have reportedly been sent to all members of the ITIA in the hope that the regulations will be adhered to on a more regular basis from now on.
