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.

Tyre Stewardship Australia is hosting a Tyre Recyclers Forum to help your business prepare for the impending waste export ban which takes effect 1st December 2021.

From 1 December 2021 you will only be able to export:

– bus, truck and aviation tyres for re-treading to a verified re-treading facility
– tyres that have been processed into crumbs, buffings, granules or shreds
– tyres that have been processed into tyre-derived fuel.

The primary focus will be on providing information on changes to legislation, what you will be allowed to export under the ban (Tyre Rules) and how to apply for a licence to export.

If you would like more information on the upcoming Recyclers Forum and whether you would benefit from attending, please email getonboard@tyrestewardship.org.au
