8. Directive 2008/98/EC on waste introduced the possibility for substances or objects which have the status of waste to cease to be waste when they have undergone a recovery operation and meet specific criteria.
In this context, the draft order establishes the criteria for the end-of-waste status of rubber particles from used tyres intended for use in the manufacture of tyres or conveyor belts.
9. This draft order aims to remove the waste status of rubber particles from used tyres that:
– comply with the criteria set out in the decree. They relate to the composition of the tyre waste accepted for recycling and the quality of the rubber particles produced;
– comply with the technical specifications specific to each user facility.
– are subject to a transfer agreement with the user facility;
The batches of rubber particles must then be identified by a unique number and the reference of the facility carrying out the recycling operation, in order to guarantee traceability. The operator must also implement a quality management system that covers the various operations involved in managing this waste.
All of these criteria were defined in accordance with Article D541-12-11 of the French Environmental Code, which transposes Article 6 of Directive 2008/98/EC. The criteria for exiting waste status therefore include:
"(a) authorised waste used as input for the recovery operation;
(b) authorised treatment processes and techniques;
(c) quality criteria applicable to materials from the recovery operation that cease to be waste, in accordance with relevant product standards, including, where necessary, limit values ​​for pollutants;
(d) requirements for management systems demonstrating compliance with the end-of-waste criteria, including quality control and self-monitoring, and accreditation, where applicable; and
(e) the requirement for a declaration of conformity;”
