What we do

Driving sustainable outcomes for Australia's used tyres is our priority.

We run the national and voluntary Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme (TPSS) to help reduce the environmental, health and safety impacts of tyres which reach their end of life in Australia.

This project will promote sustainable solutions for surfacing heavily trafficked roads. To do this, VicRoads will trial market‑ready asphalt products that incorporate crumb rubber on their road network and monitor the performance over time. By demonstrating the performance of crumb rubber asphalt products, specifications and practices in relation to the use of these products can be changed in order to allow their use and therefore increase consumption of tyre-derived crumb rubber.

Tyre Stewardship Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land and waterways on which we live, work, and depend. We acknowledge the unique spiritual and cultural connection, and continuing aspiration that the Traditional Owners have for Country and we pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
