The government will force all drivers who do not live in Jutland to pay more

When car owners buy new tyres, they pay a disposal fee. There should be no additional surcharge on disposal, the Tire Industry believes.

An amendment to the law that will allow tire collectors to take payment from car workshops, car dealers and tire specialists, in addition to the fee they currently receive from the state, is currently being discussed. The amendment to the law will be free of charge for the state. Who will then pay? Drivers must, and especially those who live far from Jutland. This is what Dækbranchen Danmark writes in a press release . The fact that the amendment to the law particularly affects those who do not have an address in Jutland is due to the fact that it is only possible to environmentally treat used tires in Jutland itself. READ ALSO: 400,000 motorists "slacked off" to pay weight and owner tax in Denmark – the Environmental Agency's proposal is to pass the bill on, and it is private and commercial drivers who are left as the black bucks. And it will be especially expensive for motorists on the islands. – Because the only two recycling companies that can process old tires are located in Jutland, and the tire collectors will probably charge larger amounts the further away from there they collect. – This undermines the very principles of Europe's best tire recycling system, and in the worst case some will feel tempted to dispose of the tires in alternative ways and to the detriment of the environment. – Elsewhere in Europe, we see end-of-life tires being dumped on abandoned construction sites, in forests and parks, says Volker Nitz, director of Tire Industry Denmark. The solution is right in front of Volker Nitz, who prefers that the authorities and thus the government look at another solution. A solution that is actually right in front of you, the director believes. – We would rather see the Environment Agency work on long-term problem solutions, and continue to look at the expenses and compensate where there is a need. – The fee was regulated as recently as 1 July and will be regulated on 1 January 2024. These are the right tools as long as there is a duopoly on environmental treatment of tires in Denmark, it says. Volker Nitz claims that the Danish tire industry is not alone in its skeptical attitude towards the new bill. The same is done by the Tire Importers, the Fabrikantforeningen for Regummierede Dæk and the Tire Specialists in Denmark, who account for the vast majority of tire sales and tire replacements on the Danish market, says the director.
