South Africa waste tyre management plan “back on track”
A plan by government-backed REDISA (Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of South Africa) to help deal with the growing problem of waste tyres in the country is “back on track”, according to local news sources. The government announced that the Integrated Industry Waste Tyre Management Plan (IIWTMP) had been signed by Minister Edna Molewa, and will deal with close to 200,000 tons of waste tyres produced in South Africa per year. The country currently recycles an estimated five per cent of tyres.
