Gumi Recycling – members

Objective

The Organisation’s ultimate objective is to organise a sustainable and environmentally sound end-of-life tire collection system under Article 15 of the WMA, which will ensure that the relevant obligations of those placing tires on the market, including tire chains, related to the achievement of certain statutory recycling and recovery targets for certain quantities of ELTs are met.

The Organisation achieves the sustainable and environmentally sound management of end-of-life tires by organizing infrastructure for the separate collection, transport, recycling, including recovery, of ELTs from contractors who are professionals in the field of waste management.

Gumi Recycling also includes in its system municipalities in Bulgaria represented by mayors looking for a solution to the problem of unregulated disposal of ELTs.

For businesses and the public, Gumi Recycling organizes information and education campaigns to raise public awareness about the proper treatment of this type of waste, as well as active inclusion of the public in its separate collection.

The selection criteria include: availability of sites that comply with regulatory requirements; possession of a permit under the Waste Management Act that allows the relevant activity to be carried out with the above waste; compliance with the principles of cost-effective cost allocation.
