How does the tracking work?

To reconcile the mass flow of tyres through the supply chain, TRACS needs details on quantities and categories of tyres being supplied in Ireland from the point of import. After this point, TRACS needs to know additional details of tyres sourced in the country for wholesale, concerning where the tyres came from and where they are going to. At the point of retail, TRACS needs to know additional details of tyres sourced in the country for replacement fitting concerning only where the tyres came from, but not the customer, as it is at this point that a waste tyre is generated from a replacement fitting.

Finally information is required from the waste collector concerning customers collected from, quantities and categories. In this way the movement of tyres through the supply chain will be reconciled.
