This Regulation applies to waste generated from tyres specified in clause 25 (3) 5) of the Waste Act i.e. end-of-life tyres. The user of tyres means a natural or legal person who uses tyres. A producer shall ensure that the users of tyres are provided, through the points of sale of distributors not later than by 1 September 2010, with information on the fact that end-of-life tyres can be returned free of charge at the collection points of end-of-life tyres (locations and telephone numbers where the relevant information can be obtained). A producer shall organise national information campaigns at least once a year through media channels, national newspapers, magazines or other similar channels available to the public and provide the users of tyres at least with the following information: (a) the prohibition to dispose of end-of-life tyres as unsorted municipal waste; and (b) the possibilities for returning end-of-life tyres. Users of tyres shall collect end-of-life tyres separately from other waste. Upon the recovery of end-of-life tyres, the tyres which can be retreaded or reused shall be sorted out.
