Guidance: Using whole waste tyres: RPS 301

Environment Agency

July 19
10:55 2024

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when you store and use whole waste tyres:

  • in building construction
  • in escape ladders in water storage reservoirs
  • for fendering systems at quaysides
  • as fendering on boats and vessels
  • as planters used for displaying flowers and plants

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
