Introduction: In recent years, the issue of waste management has gained significant attention due to its adverse environmental impact. One particular area of concern is the disposal of waste tyres, which pose significant challenges to the environment and public health. In response to these challenges, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has emerged as an effective approach to tackle waste tyre management and promote environmental sustainability. This article provides a comprehensive overview of EPR for waste tyres, including its definition, significance, and implementation. The Environmental Impact of Waste Tyres: Waste tyres pose several environmental hazards that necessitate their proper management. Firstly, improper disposal of tyres leads to air pollution through the release of toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases during tyre incineration or open burning. These pollutants contribute to air quality degradation and climate change. Secondly, when waste tyres accumulate in landfil
Battery waste management regulations vary by country and jurisdiction.
