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.

Reporting Unlawful Behaviour in the Waste Tyre Industry

This document explains what to do if you suspect illegal activities in the waste tyre sector, such as improper disposal, illegal stockpiling, or unauthorised exports. It covers:

  • How to identify signs of unlawful activity.
  • Steps to gather evidence and report concerns to the relevant state or territory environmental regulators.
  • Contact details for state agencies and for reporting export concerns to federal authorities.
  • The role of Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) in supporting legal compliance and ethical practices.

Important Note: TSA is not a regulatory body, but it encourages accredited participants to report any suspected illegal activities directly to regulators and share information with TSA.

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.
