South Africas waste tyre crisis remains no closer to a resolution after the government has spent almost ten years trying to produce an Industry Waste Tyre Management Plan.
This is according to the Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of South Africa Redisa, which said on Monday that years of drafting, consultation, publication and withdrawal of proposals by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment had failed to produce a workable system to deal with waste tyres.
Redisa is an NPO representing the tyre recycling industry, informal waste pickers and SMMEs across the country.
