Tyre manufacturers represented by SATMC have gained a position on South Africas waste tyre management programme
The South African Tyre Manufacturers Conference (SATMC), representing the four multinational tyre manufacturers with plants in South Africa, has welcomed its appointment to the Waste Tyre Management Industry Advisory. This committee will drive the implementation of the plan approved by Cabinet in March 2024.
SATMC Managing Executive, Nduduzo Chala, has been appointed as vice chairperson, with Charl de Villers, chairperson of the Tyre Importers Association of South Africa (TIASA), to serve as chairperson.
Said Chala, “As the SATMC, we look forward to working closely with all committee representatives and the broader industry to drive forward the objectives of the Waste Tyre Management Plan, which include expanding waste tyre processing capacity, developing monitoring systems, and supporting municipal waste management initiatives. This crucial environmental initiative deserves the full support of the entire tyre industry value chain to reduce the negative environmental impacts of waste tyres.”
Other committee representation includes the Retail Motor Industry (RMI); the Tyre, Equipment, Parts Association (TEPA); Tyre Recycling Industry Association of South Africa; the Recycling Association of South Africa and the Waste Tyre Management Forum, as well as the Black Business Council (BBC), Business Unity South Africa (BUSA); Minerals Council South Africa, the Department of Science and Innovation; and Department of Trade, Industry and Competition.
