South Africa gears up for waste tyre levy
Tyre manufacturers, transporters, dealers and processers in South Africa have until January 31 to register for the Recycling and Economic Development Initiative (REDISA) Waste Tyre Management Plan, which was approved by the country’s Department of Water and Environmental Affairs in November 2011. Registration is compulsory and is required for calculating a new levy intended to cover the cost of end of life tyres. The levy will take effect as of 1 February 2012.
