South Carolina state agencies started last week the waste management campaign fighting unsanctioned tire dumping in the Palmetto State. The move was made at the Scrap Tire Recycling Conference in Greenville. The authoritative bodies South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the Department of Natural Resources and waste managing organization PalmettoPride are behind the scrap tire project named "See It, Report It". The initiative appeals to locals and encourages them to anonymously notify special services via the Litter Buster Hotline whenever they spot illegal tire dumps. Once the call is received, the state agencies can take action aimed at waste tire reduction.

British government commences consultations aimed at overhauling the waste system via reducing plastic contamination; the step encouraging recycling is expected to bring the island nation closer to circular economy. The consultations are likely to result in a more widely-used Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) not only for such waste as plastics, but for scrap tires as well.
