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.

Material Circularity: Management Options for Tyres & Conveyor Belts - Report

TSA's comprehensive report evaluates various management strategies for end-of-life tyres and conveyor belts, focusing on their alignment with circular economy principles and the waste hierarchy.

The study introduces an 'Options Assessment Tool' to assess the material circularity of different practices, aiding stakeholders in making informed decisions.

Key insights from the report include:

Analysis of design, usage, and end-of-life phases for tyres and conveyor belts.
Evaluation of recycling, energy recovery, and disposal options based on material circularity.
Identification of best practices to retain material value and reduce environmental impact.
Recommendations for policy and industry actions to support sustainable management.

This resource serves as a guide for policymakers, industry leaders, and environmental professionals aiming to improve resource recovery and promote sustainable practices in the management of tyres and conveyor belts.
