India’s CPCB Gets Serious


India’s Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is cracking down on non-compliant tyre pyrolysis plants, marking a turning point for environmental enforcement and industry legitimacy.

The Indian Central Pollution Control Board has mandated state pollution boards to strictly enforce new guidelines for tyre pyrolysis units strictly, favouring the ‘Advanced Batch Automated Process.’

This aims to mitigate environmental risks by ensuring controlled operation and mitigating toxic emissions.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has put state pollution boards on high alert, requiring them to rigorously enforce updated protocols for tyre pyrolysis units, according to announcements in the Indian media.

Despite ongoing pressure from the National Green Tribunal and the introduction of Standard Operating Procedures, progress on limiting the activity of non-compliant pyrolysis operations has been slow.

January saw the CPCB stipulate that only units using the Advanced Batch Automated Process could operate, due to its controlled handling measures that minimize toxic emissions and fire hazards; however, some regions lagged in compliance.

Currently, as a direct result of media pressure in the UK, the UK Environment Agency is visiting India to research the state of the pyrolysis sector. Notably, the import of waste tyres for pyrolysis is a breach of Indian regulations, yet it appears to continue unabated.
