The representative of the Secretariat of the Basel Convention delivered a presentation on the environmentally sound management of waste tyres (GRBP-82-30) and invited GRBP experts to provide inputs to the ongoing review of the Technical Guidelines for the Environmentally Sound Management of Used and Waste Pneumatic Tyres.
