At RETYREWaste tyres pose a significant environmental challenge, classified as hazardous waste, and their proper management has been a persistent issue. Despite advances in recycling technologies and regulatory efforts by government pollution control boards, the critical aspect of tyre waste management—collection—has often been neglected. This oversight has contributed to a reliance on imported tyres for recycling, exacerbating the accumulation of local waste. The result has been chaotic pricing, the growth of black-market activities, and the illegal reuse of tyres, all of which negatively impact the industry.RETYRE is committed to addressing this pressing issue by introducing an automated, technology-driven platform that brings together all stakeholders in the tyre waste management process. RETYRE’s vision is to create a transparent and accountable system where local waste is prioritized for recycling, reducing the need for imports. By connecting manufacturers, recyclers, dealers, transporters, and fleets, the platform optimizes tyre waste management and fosters a circular economy.A key pillar of RETYRE’s approach is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). By incentivizing manufacturers to take responsibility for their products’ entire lifecycle, RETYRE promotes sustainable practices. Through participation in the platform, manufacturers can earn EPR credits for engaging in recycling efforts and adhering to regulatory standards, encouraging responsible production.RETYRE also focuses on supporting recycling units, which play a critical role in converting used tyres into reusable materials. By ensuring fair compensation and promoting innovative recycling technologies, RETYRE enhances the efficiency and sustainability of recycling operations.Additionally, the platform empowers waste generators and collection hubs, providing them with transparent pricing and the tools needed to manage tyre waste responsibly. Collection hubs serve as central nodes for aggregating, inspecting, and processing tyres, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.RETYRE envisions a revolution in tyre waste management through the use of cutting-edge technologies like AI, blockchain, and IoT. By streamlining every aspect of the process, RETYRE is paving the way for a sustainable and efficient tyre recycling ecosystem that conserves resources and minimizes environmental impact.
