Article summary

Fighting Dirty, a legal environmental campaign group has secured a commitment from the Environment Agency (EA) to review its approach to waste tyre exports after issuing a pre-action protocol letter on 28 February 2025. The EA's response (dated 25 March 2025) outlines plans for a three-month internal review examining the current 'green list' classification of waste tyres, which permits unrestricted exports to countries including India. The review will involve consultation with industry stakeholders, trade associations and foreign authorities. The development follows BBC investigations revealing unregulated processing of UK tyre exports in Indian pyrolysis plants.
