Tires are complex products made of rubber, metal, textile materials, and various chemical components that decompose extremely slowly in nature. In fact, a single tire may take hundreds of years to fully break down.

In modern everyday life, batteries are found almost everywhere - in vehicles, electronics, energy systems, and many other devices. However, once a battery reaches the end of its life cycle, it is no longer considered ordinary waste. Used batteries are one of the most hazardous types of specific waste, and improper management can seriously harm both the environment and human health.

Today, it is already clear that the future belongs to systems where waste is transformed into a valuable resource. That is why the circular economy is not only an environmental necessity, but also an important foundation for economic and social development.

In many countries around the world, waste management is already considered part of economic development. Recycled materials are used across various industries, manufacturing processes, and infrastructure projects. This approach reduces the consumption of natural resources and decreases environmental pressure.

Today, when environmental protection is one of the most pressing global issues, proper waste management becomes especially important. This is exactly the purpose of “Tegeta Green Planet” - a company within Tegeta Holding that actively works on the collection and recycling of specific types of waste.

Thousands of tons of household and industrial waste are generated daily in Georgia. Waste management is one of the most pressing environmental and social issues. An increasingly important role in this process is played by the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) model, which implies that producers are responsible for their products throughout their entire life cycle - including the post-consumer stage.
