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.

Collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) - Report

TSA seeks to facilitate collaboration between users of OTR rubber products – such as tyres, conveyor belts and tracks – and Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities to leverage opportunities for resource recovery in regional, rural and remote Australia.

In June 2023, TSA commissioned research by Research Equity and RMIT University to explore and identify best practice principles for collaboration between industry, government and Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities (IPLCs).

The resulting reports, released in June 2023, are a practical starting point and pathway forward for OTR rubber product users and IPLCs that help them work together to recover valuable OTR rubber product resources in a way that recognises the ‘unique’ attributes of their local community.

They have been designed for use by all OTR rubber product stakeholders, including:

Federal Government
Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities
Local governments
OTR rubber product users in Mining, Agriculture & Forestry, Construction (and Demolition), Industrial and Aviation
OTR tyre, conveyor belt and track manufacturers and importers
State & Territory governments
Tyre collectors and recyclers
Tyre retailers
