Improper management of end-of-life tyres poses significant environmental and public health risks. Discarded tyres can leach harmful chemicals, including heavy metals and toxins, into soil and water sources, contaminating ecosystems and drinking water.

Project Snapshot - Palau

SPREP Publications, Waste Management and Pollution Control

The absence of a local market for used tyres (whole or shredded) has resulted in the high volume of EOLT stockpiles in the country. This project will establish a legal framework to effectively regulate tyre importation, establish a national standard to ensure long-lasting tyres are imported for use in the country, provide for the development of a funding mechanism, to ensure the sustainable collection and processing of the EOLTs, as well as guide the practical use of the currently stockpiled and any newly generated EOLTs.
