How to find out about starting tyres recycling business

stocking

I've found very interesting equipment that is developed for recycling old tyres. In principal it is a very small (about a size of a standard house) electrical reactor that burns old used tyres. Works 24 hours a day and produce no more pollution than just a regular truck since it uses some of it's own gases to keep the fire (temperature) inside. Also as a product after burning it produces some amount of oil that can be used for burning the same way people do in some houses for the heating. Therefore it is very attractive and effective way to run business but
1) I'm not sure where to enquire about licenses, certificates, permits for such activities.
2) The equipment is supplied from a non-EU country (how big is that a problem)
3) I don't think I could handle to start-up on my own, so I'm looking for an enthusiastic partner preferably with some experience in the area.

Any participation/discussion is highly appreciated.

A friend of mine started an IT business 2yrs ago. She got a lot of start up help from http://www.enterprise-ireland.com/
This included a small grant to get them off the ground.

Might be worth a while to give them a call.

thank you very much for your reply. I've had them in mind already but now I'm only better encouraged to contact them.

No problem.
Make sure you are prepared before you talk to them, have your business plan and anything else you need ready.

Sorry to rain on your parade but what you seem to be describing is an incinerator and the process for getting planning permission for one is torturous to say the least! An enquiry to the EPA could put you straight on this...

Um, there is a tyre recycling plant in the country already, and I understand it has sufficient capacity for all the tyres in the country. Last time I heard they didn't have enough tyres to feed it.

You should find out if it has been deployed in a European country, preferably northern european. If it has, all well and good, because the standards will probably be similar. If not, well, then you are probably looking at a big investment to get the whole thing approved.

If you ask me, the opportunity with this thing might be to sell it into smaller Eastern European countries, rather than Ireland.

Be prepared to be frustrated. If your business isn't IT related and have the potential to cost millions of euro enterprise ireland won't take you seriously at first.
