Giving Old Tyres a New Life: The Future of Tyre Recycling in India

Every year, India discards millions of tyres from cars, trucks, and bikes. Most of these end up dumped in landfills or burned in open spaces, releasing toxic fumes into the air. But what many don’t realize is that old tyres aren’t just waste — they’re raw materials waiting to be repurposed. With the right technology and approach, tyre recycling can turn this environmental problem into a meaningful and profitable solution.

As the automobile industry grows, so does the challenge of managing tyre waste responsibly. The Indian government, through the Hazardous and Other Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, is promoting the safe recycling and recovery of tyre materials. These rules aim to reduce pollution and ensure that end-of-life tyres are processed through authorized recycling plants instead of being discarded unsafely.

A modern tyre recycling facility can recover valuable materials such as steel, carbon black, and rubber granules that can be reused in industries like road construction, flooring, and manufacturing. Technologies like pyrolysis and shredding help extract these materials efficiently while minimizing environmental impact. However, setting up such a facility requires detailed planning, environmental approvals, and compliance with CPCB and SPCB regulations.
