New Ways of Waste Management in Germany - A Critical View of the Recycling of Used Tyres and Rubber By Jarina Bach Synopsis The development of waste legislation promoted at European level gives priority to the substantial increase in the prevention and recovery of waste from the perspective of environmental, climate and resource protection, thus initiating the biggest paradigm shift in current waste policy. The required restructuring process, which concerns all those involved in waste management, is still not completed and marked by serious problems. In particular, for the recycling of used tyres and rubber, there is no policy that takes into account the current situation. Against this background, the author looks into the current waste management situation and examines the new waste policy objectives. This is an informative overview of the legal basis for the treatment of this waste material.

Reviews Many people don’t know what to do with old tyres - they are a common feature of fly tipping and you can see them dumped in the countryside (though farmers often find a use for them). This book is a much needed examination of the current state of affairs regarding rubber tyres and European regulations. If you are involved in waste management, or simply interested in recycling, this will be an informative read. (Posted by Skip Hire)
