Do You Know What Happens To Your Old Discarded Tyres?

Every year, 250 millions of tyres leave India's roads. This is the story of where they go, what they become, and how Regrip is turning the world's fastest-growing waste problem into India's most valuable circular economy.

The Scale of the Problem

A Crisis, On a National Scale

Every discarded tyre is a decision. Most of them, nobody makes. Here is the environmental and resource challenge at scale.

0.0 Cr

Annual Tyre Waste

Tyres discarded every year in India — creating massive landfill and storage challenges.

0%

Air Pollution

Of particulate matter pollution traced to informal tyre burning in urban areas.

0 MT

Environmental Impact

Of CO₂ emitted for every tonne of tyres burned instead of being recycled.

0%

Resource Loss

Of recoverable rubber, steel, and fibre is lost when tyres are dumped or burned.

The Hidden Reality

The Truth We Choose to Ignore

Scroll through what actually happens to tyres that never make it into a recycling line.

Scene 01

Burning Tyres

In the absence of formal collection, thousands of tyres are set alight in open pits — releasing toxic smoke, carcinogenic dioxins and heavy soot into the air.

Scene 02

Illegal Landfills

Tyres are dumped on empty land, along highways and riverbanks. They do not decompose — a single tyre takes centuries to break down in the environment.

Scene 03

Mosquito Breeding Grounds

Water collects inside abandoned tyres, creating perfect breeding sites for disease-carrying mosquitoes that spread dengue and malaria.

Scene 04

Unsafe Recycling

Small, unregulated units process tyres without controls — exposing nearby communities to toxic fumes, fire hazards and chemical runoff.

Scene 05

Poor Working Conditions

The informal scrap economy relies on unprotected workers — manual handlers, cutters and pickers working without safety gear or fair wages.

So, What's
The Solution?

India's Missing Collection Infrastructure

Whoever controls the scrap,
Controls the industry

Every recycling plant depends on one thing: a consistent supply of end-of-life tyres.The biggest challenge isn't processing tyres, it's finding millions of tyres scattered across thousands of cities, workshops and transport hubs and bringing them into one organised supply chain.

Regrip is building India's largest organised tyre collection and transportation network then forward-integrating into fuel, carbon black, and steel.

Fragmented & Informal

Collection rests on thousands of independent operators with no digital record.

Uneconomical Logistics

A loose tyre is bulky but light — transporting it often costs more than its value.

Captured Margins

Long informal chains of middlemen erode the value for the original owner.

Zero Quality Visibility

Condition, age and grading are decided by eye — with no standard, no data.

The Solution

A Circular Economy

One tyre. Multiple possibilities. Every stage creates value instead of waste.

Step 01

Collection

Scrap tyres are gathered from dealers, puncture shops and fleet operators.

Step 02

Segregation

Step 03

Refurbishment

Step 04

Recycling

The Formal Layer

Recyclers, industries and end users sit at the top. They are the only formal layer — yet they depend entirely on a fragile informal base.

Aggregators

Aggregators consolidate scattered volumes into warehouses, adding billable weight and structure to what was previously untracked.

The Informal Base

Millions of tyres move through the hands of independent collectors, rag pickers and puncture shops — the informal front-line of an entire economy.
