END OF LIFE TIRES (ELT)

Who we are

What are the End-of-life tire (ELT)?

These are tires that have become waste, which means that the user (generator) has discarded or intends to discard them because they have reached the end of their useful life.

On 26 July 2021, the Special Regime for the Management and Handling of End-of-Life Tires (ELT) came into force by means of D.S. 024-2021-MINAM.
