Tyre waste is a rapidly growing environmental challenge due to the increasing number of vehicles, short replacement cycles, and improper disposal practices. Scrap tyres, if not managed scientifically, contribute to air pollution, fire hazards, soil contamination, and illegal dumping.
To address these concerns, the Government of India introduced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Waste Tyres under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Amendment Rules, 2022, notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC).
For the first time, tyre manufacturers and importers were made legally responsible for ensuring the collection, recycling, and environmentally sound processing of waste tyres generated from their products.
Since its introduction, Tyre Waste EPR has:
Today, Tyre Waste EPR plays a critical role in environmental sustainability, circular economy development, and regulatory compliance for the automotive and tyre industry.
MoEFCC (Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change)
MoEFCC is the central policy authority responsible for:
CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board)
CPCB is the key implementing and monitoring authority for Tyre Waste EPR. Its responsibilities include:
SPCBs / PCCs (State Pollution Control Boards / Pollution Control Committees)
SPCBs and PCCs support CPCB through:
This coordinated framework ensures digital traceability, environmental safety, and compliance accountability across the tyre value chain.
Tyre Waste EPR obligations apply to entities involved in the manufacture and import of tyres in India.

At Kar Parivartan, we simplify Waste Oil EPR through a structured, compliant, and transparent approach, enabling businesses to meet regulatory requirements with confidence.
Over time, the framework was strengthened through amendments in 2018, 2021, and most significantly with the EPR Guidelines for Plastic Packaging, 2022, which introduced:
Step 1: Applicability & Data Evaluation
We assess your tyre production or import data to determine EPR applicability and compliance requirements.
Step 2: EPR Registration & Authorization
Our team manages complete registration on the CPCB Tyre EPR portal, ensuring accurate documentation and approvals.
Step 3: EPR Target Calculation & Compliance Planning
We calculate annual EPR targets and design a practical fulfillment strategy aligned with CPCB guidelines.
Step 4: Recycler Due Diligence & Onboarding
We onboard CPCB-authorized and audited tyre recyclers, ensuring environmental safety, traceability, and compliance credibility.
Step 5: Waste Tyre Collection & Recycling Coordination
We coordinate waste tyre channelization, processing, and recycling across approved facilities.
Step 6: EPR Credit Generation & Fulfillment
Our experts manage EPR credit generation, mapping, and utilization through the CPCB portal.
Step 7: Reporting, Audit & Ongoing Compliance
We handle filings, audit support, and continuous monitoring to ensure long-term regulatory compliance.
