New tyres

Brought into the Dutch market

Producers (producers and importers) of car tyres and the manufacturers and importers of caravans and trailers are responsible for collecting and processing used tyres in an environmentally-friendly way. For each car tyre they bring into the Dutch market, they have to collect a tyre with the principle of “swapping old for new”.

Producers are responsible for managing car tyres in an environmentally-friendly way. RecyBEM assumes the legal responsibility for environmentally-friendly waste and raw materials management from the members of the Vereniging Band en Milieu. We collect tyres at retailers and local authority environmental depots. We then ensure that the tyres collected are processed in an environmentally-friendly way. RecyBEM is a Dutch initiative by the tyre suppliers to fulfill the obligation from the Dutch legislation on End-of-Life-Tyres.
