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.

Explore Circular Economy & Infrastructure Grants

TSA curates a list of relevant state and national grant programs that support circular economy initiatives, infrastructure upgrades, and innovation in resource recovery.

These funding opportunities are ideal for recyclers, manufacturers, local councils, researchers and industry partners working to:

Expand or upgrade tyre recycling infrastructure
Advance sustainable solutions through research or education

TSA encourages project leads to explore these grants and consider how end-of-life tyres can deliver both environmental and economic benefits.

Tip: Funding criteria change often. Always read the official guidelines before applying.

TSA's Market Development Fund

In addition to external programs, TSA also offers its own Market Development Fund — a co-investment initiative designed to fast-track the uptake of tyre-derived materials in high-value applications. The fund supports innovative trials, product development, and commercialisation projects that align with the objectives of the Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme and help grow domestic markets for end-of-life tyres.
