Suppliers of tyres are required to register with an approval body, there is no longer a self-compliance option as there was in the 2007 regulations.<\/p>\n

Repak ELT<\/strong><\/a>\u202fis currently the approved body tasked with operating a scheme for full compliance for tyres and waste tyres.
\nThe new regulations for the tyre sector introduced a full compliance scheme operated by\u202fRepak ELT\u202fwith a registration and reporting role for\u202fThe\u202fProducer Register Limited\u202f(PRL).\u202fThe scheme is based on the Producer Responsibility model that has worked successfully in this country for other waste streams, such as packaging, batteries and waste electrical, electronic goods (WEEE).<\/p>\n
