Join key players across Australia and New Zealand for this landmark summit focused on tyre and conveyor belt recycling, hosted by Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise New Zealand. 

Over two days, manufacturers, recyclers, innovators, policymakers, and global industry stakeholders will connect to share ideas, explore global technologies, and uncover real-world market and infrastructure opportunities.

Expect engaging keynotes, expert panels, and powerful networking moments - all aimed at boosting tyre recovery, market growth, and innovation in tyre-derived products.
