Tyre Stewardship Australia has been formed to implement the national Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme to promote the development of viable markets for end-of-life tyres.

This will have the multiple benefits of transforming a waste product into a useful commodity, creating new industries and employment opportunities while also reducing the environmental harm caused by the illegal dumping of old tyres.

TSA is made up of representatives from across the tyre supply chain including tyre retailers, manufacturers, recyclers and collectors.

The Australian Tyre Recyclers Association (ATRA) is established to represent the interests of the legitimate and sustainable used tyre collection and recycling sector in Australia.

ATRA members recycle more than 20Million used tyre units per annum or around 400,000 tyres per week. This represents around 95% of Australia’s used tyre recycling activity and around 86% of the available market.

ATRA members seek to minimize any temporary stockpiling, minimize any residuals disposal to landfill and do not bale for export.
