Tyre Waste Recycling Plant Setup Consultancy in India

Tyre Waste in India: An Emerging Problem with Hidden Opportunities

India generates millions of discarded tyres every year — from cars, trucks, buses, and two-wheelers. Most end up in landfills, illegal dumps, or are burned, releasing toxic emissions into the environment.

To tackle this, the Government of India has strengthened regulations under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 and introduced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations for tyre manufacturers and importers.

Instead of seeing old tyres as waste, progressive businesses are now treating them as a resource. Through modern recycling technologies, waste tyres can be converted into crumb rubber, steel, pyrolysis oil, carbon black and other value-added products.

This is where Cargo People Logistics & Shipping Pvt. Ltd., in collaboration with its sustainability subsidiary Green Permits Consulting, steps in. We provide end-to-end consultancy for tyre waste recycling plant setup in India — covering compliance, approvals, technology, operations, and logistics.

Why Tyre Recycling is Key to Sustainability

• 1. Regulatory Compliance
  Government regulations require tyre producers and importers to meet EPR targets for collection and recycling. Approved recycling facilities are critical to fulfilling these obligations.
• 2. Environmental Benefits
  Recycling prevents tyres from ending up in landfills or being burned, reducing air, soil, and water pollution and lowering the risk of fires and disease-carrying pests.
• 3. Economic Opportunity
  Recovered products such as rubber granules, steel, pyrolysis oil and carbon black have strong demand in construction, manufacturing, and energy sectors.
• 4. Sustainability Branding
  Tyre recycling enhances a company’s green credentials, helps boost ESG scores, and strengthens credibility with global partners, investors, and regulators.

Types of Tyre Recycling Technologies

1. Mechanical Recycling (Crumb Rubber)

• Tyres are shredded and ground into crumb rubber of different sizes.
• Used in road construction, playgrounds, sports surfaces, flooring, and molded products.

2. Pyrolysis

• Tyres are thermally decomposed in reactors without oxygen.
• Produces pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel and gas.
• Pyrolysis oil can be refined and used as industrial fuel; carbon black can be used in rubber, plastic and pigment industries.

3. Devulcanization

• Restores the original elasticity and processability of rubber.
• Suitable for high-quality rubber applications where recycled material is blended with virgin rubber.

Each method has different capital cost, operating cost, ROI and compliance requirements. We help you select the right technology mix based on your investment, location, market and risk appetite.
