South African levy tax on tires for recycling old tires

According to the Scientific and Technical Daily News, South Africa's Minister of the Environment, Moleveva, recently announced that starting from February 1, 2012, South Africa will impose taxes on all locally manufactured or imported tires at a rate of 2.30 rand (equivalent to US$0.3) per kilogram. The new tax will be used for the recycling of used tires, which is a new initiative launched by South Africa to strengthen the management of used tires.

Every year, South Africa produces more than 200,000 tons of waste tires, of which about 11 million are illegally discarded as garbage, or burned to remove the steel wire from the tires, and this number is growing at an annual rate of 9.5%. Moleva said that in response to the severe environmental pollution caused by waste tires, as early as June 2009, the Ministry of the Environment introduced a waste tire management method that required tire manufacturers and importers to compile and submit their own comprehensive plans for waste tire management. "But so far only two companies have passed the review. The Ministry of the Environment decided to select the proposal submitted by the South African Recycling and Economic Development Initiative (REDISA) as a new model to deal with the problem of waste tires throughout the country. Moreva emphasized that all tire-related companies in South Africa must make adjustments to the REDISA program before January 31 so that their business activities meet their requirements. Those who violate regulations will face up to 100,000 rand or 3 prisons. Year of punishment.

The REDISA program proposes to introduce new tire taxes. The income thus obtained is used to motivate those who are officially or informally recyclable workers to pick up waste tires from illegal dumps across the country and send them to a concentration point where they are to be separated. deal with. Examples include the extraction of certain chemicals, the extraction of metal components from tires, the use of secondary fuels in kilns, the manufacture of sandals, and children's swings.

REDISA was given the task of collecting, transporting and managing scrap tires. The company plans to establish 150 centralized recycling centers for waste tires nationwide in the next five years, support micro, small and medium-sized waste recycling companies, employ approximately 15,000 people, and conduct market development research using waste tires as raw materials.

Carbon Steel Flat Rectangle Bar General Introduction:

Flat steel includes the common hot rolled flat bar and cold drawn flat steel bar. Its width is 12-200mm, the thickness is 3-30mm and the length is 3m-12m or as per the client's request. MS rectangle bar is mainly used in the form various stress components according to the different needs of the structure, and it can also be used as a connection between components. Mild steel flat bar is widely used in the various construction structures and engineering structures, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks and warehouse shelves etc.

Steel flat bar is a pressure resistant hot work die steel. The steel is remelted by electroslag, uniform in material, good in hardenability, excellent in machinability and polishing performance, high toughness and plasticity, good high and low temperature wear resistance, and high temperature fatigue and heat resistance.
