Revised technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of used tyres
The parties to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal have considered the difficulties involved in identifying and managing used [and waste pneumatic] tyres, given their potential harmful effects on human health and the environment.
