According to the regulations in Poland, economic entities introducing tires on the market (Manufacturers and Importers) they are required to recover a minimum of 75% by weight of tires introduced into circulation, of which 15% must be recycled. Otherwise, the so-called product fee. The Act also talks about the prohibition of storing worn out tires.
Market monitoring institution and its fulfillment of the Act is the Ministry of Climate in a person of eight managers and all staff of officials. The costs of operation of the office are adapted to not irritate society. The Ministry was established in 2019 and conducts records of Data on Waste by local offices. Also charges product fees and probably imposes all kinds of penalties for non-compliance.
Seen in forests and fields scattered worn tires I wanted to get information about the number of utilization tires from the Climate Minister in Poland.
The Ministry who administers the Database of Waste did not want to provide information by convincing me that it does not have such data. I asked how much in Poland have been introduced for sale tires? Also, the Minister does not know.
If the climate Minister in Poland does not create reports, which give him an insight into the amount of weight introduced tires for market, They does not know what to be recovered and recycling. So why serves a Database of Waste, whose bureaucratic service costs a society of assets?
I asked in other offices related to the protection of the environment but nobody even tried to tell me or did it in an evasive way, informing that this is not their business.
The climate office generally justifies the recovery of used tires at 75% of tires, as it recognizes that 25% of tires go to the atmosphere and the environment as a result of exploitation or abrasion. Imagine how your tire after a season or two in a quarter disappeared because it was worn. Someone believed it? What is the tonnage for all tires I can not give, because as I wrote the office there is no data on this subject and will not know that.
The reception of worn out tires from the market deal with urban receipt points, in which one can give 4 tires to a household annually and there is no significant number of cars, only 4 tires a year and end. This is for individuals, and companies are excluded from this receipt. Here everything is exactly weighed and reports go to the city’s authorities and these are submitted by the quantitative reports of the Minist, which, as he informed me, does not know anything about it.
Companies and those who have more tires, they move them in tire replacement points for a fee from 5 to 20 PLN for a tire. There are several companies that buy these tires but they also did not want to provide information about the number of bought tires, what is the amount of money and what is invested and what’s going on with such bought tires?
In the act concepts fall: recovery (75%) and recycling (15%).
The media explain that recovery or complete waste consumption takes place on the way of milling the worn out tires to burn in cement plants as alternative fuel. But no cement plant in Poland I asked did not confirm that it uses such a fuel and did not show the amount of burned flew from rubber tires. Maybe it’s about cement plants outside the country? Nobody wanted to remember about pyrolysis often quoted in the media. The Office is also not able to give who deals with the recycling of tires or processing waste to another product. A number of 15% is a very big mass and you can not unnoticed enterprises that recycle such amounts of rubber and what about such a raw material is done?
Why are these secrets, lies of officials, reversing attention to the lack of competence and interest and lack of system transparency?

Probably the situation in Poland is that the number of tires received is relatively large to the possibility of burning them (cementies are blocked by a limitation of exhaust emissions) or to recycle where in Poland nobody takes it (no data from the office and demand for road milling of Polish rubber). There are too many worn tires against the “communist” illusion about their disposal and importers have forced by the “problem of worn out tires”.
Therefore, many tires after lifting are re-introduced to the market as new tires. Manufacturers have a business on this but protect themselves a mystery because they can not fulfill the applied declarations and large inaccuracies prevails in the documentation. It hides. Such a mess is possible in the absence of control, which the Polish Climate Ministry has already taken care of (avoiding monitoring and public information). It favors illegal practices of easy business and we do not know how much tires corporate land on the bottom of the seas, rivers, lakes and buried in the ground? What a Polish Climate Office knows, but as a guardian of environmental protection tactically silent.
And now let us note that Polish society finances the Office who cheats all the nation and European officials. The office does it only for this, that he accepted the European Union from the authorities communist illusion. Perhaps this lie gains EU funds. And no one will guess anything or pat. And what about ecological organizations that take money for your whispering activity in the assembling of society? Is it better not to lean them because the funds will be liftedly cut off? (Brux)
