Developing solutions for end of lifetyres is our number one priority. Tyre Stewardship Australia is hard at work to create productive outcomes for end of life tyres (EOLT).Increasing the use of locally tyre derived products across segments like rail, roads and civil engineering is top of mind.

Of the 323,000 tonnes: 85,000 tonnes (the equivalent of 10.6 million used car tyres) for reuse 190,000 tonnes (the equivalent of 23.8 million) for processing into tyre derived products 48,000 tonnes (the equivalent of 5.9 million) for use whole in thermal processing 89% Passenger & motorbike tyre recovery rate (2018-2019). In addition to a 89% Truck & bus tyre recovery rate for the same year. End-of-life tyre recovery rates in the passenger & truck sector are exceeding the 2018 National Waste Policy target, set at 80%. 64,000 Tonnes were recovered for use in domestic markets (2018-2019).
