Acting Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, Mr Collins Chabane, has withdrawn the approval for the Integrated Industry Waste Tyre Management Plan (IIWTMP) of the Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of South Africa (REDISA) with immediate effect.
The REDISA Plan was approved by notice in the Government Gazette Notice (Notice No. 983 published in Gazette No. 34796) published on 28 November 2011.
The withdrawal will afford the department an opportunity to attend to procedural requirements stipulated in the Waste Tyre Regulations. The general public will have an opportunity to engage and provide input into the REDISA plan, in due course.
