Abstract
The absence of a local market for used tyres (whole or shredded) has resulted in the high volume of EOLT stockpiles in the country (13,739m³ of whole tyres, and 100m³ of shredded tyres). The Environment Quality Control Board of Palau (EQCB) will focus their PacWastePlus investment to establish a sustainable resource recovery programme in Palau to effectively manage the existing End-of-Life Tyres (EOLT) stockpiled in the country. The project will establish a legal framework to effectively regulate tyre importation, establish a national standard to ensure long-lasting tyres are imported for use in the country, provide for the development of a funding mechanism to ensure the sustainable collection and processing of the EOLTs, as well as guide the practical use of the currently stockpiled, and any newly generates EOLTs.
