The partnership comes at a time when India’s tyre recycling sector is under immense pressure, with labour shortages making manual sorting harder to sustain. Additionally, manual sorting is inherently inconsistent and limits the quality of output streams. Hidden contaminants such as batteries, TPMS sensors, metal rim fragments, and other embedded components damage shredders, causing unplanned shutdowns and creating fire hazards on the plant floor. The lack of digital traceability also leaves recyclers exposed to EPR compliance risks, including concerns about inaccurate or unverifiable credit claims.

TPO will be considered to have met the end-of-waste test only if several conditions are met. It must be produced exclusively from the approved waste materials listed in the framework and, after pyrolysis, must be sent only to a refinery for use as a feedstock in the production of marketable products. The TPO must meet the minimum specification set by the framework, along with any further specifications agreed with the receiving refinery. The refinery must also hold the appropriate environmental permits to accept and use the TPO in the quantities supplied, and there must be certainty that the material will be used as refinery feedstock.
