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.

TSA Accredited Collectors and Recyclers play an integral role in the Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme.

In the application process and as part of maintaining accreditation, Collectors and Recyclers agree to TSA compliance reviews through the TSA audit program.

The Collector and Recycler Audit Handbook (Handbook) sets out the processes that apply to TSA Collector and/or Recycler accreditation and annual compliance audits, assessment of accreditation and compliance, and steps to resolve non-compliance.  It ensures transparency in relation to the scope of TSA audits and explains what Collectors and Recyclers are required to do before, during and after an audit in order to meet Scheme requirements and maintain accreditation.  The Handbook also includes a compliance checklist, intended as a guide to support Participants through the audit process.

The Handbook should be read in conjunction with the Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme Guidelines which sets out the requirements that apply to Participants, including Collectors and Recyclers.

Tyre Stewardship Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land and waterways on which we live, work, and depend. We acknowledge the unique spiritual and cultural connection, and continuing aspiration that the Traditional Owners have for Country and we pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
