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.

End-of-Life Tyres and Conveyor Belts in Western Australia - Report

Explore the scale and treatment of end-of-life tyres and rubber conveyor belts in Western Australia’s mining industry.

This joint research project was conducted by Tyre Stewardship Australia and the NESP Sustainable Communities and Waste Hub.

The report maps current practices, identifies circular economy opportunities, and highlights the barriers preventing higher-value recovery of these complex rubber waste streams—particularly in remote or regional operations.

Key findings include:

Volumes and types of EOL tyres and belts generated in WA
Typical disposal routes and transport challenges
Opportunities for localised processing and reuse
Recommendations for improving traceability and investment

This is the first study of its kind focused specifically on the mining sector’s contribution to Australia’s end-of-life rubber stockpiles, offering valuable insights to industry, government, and researchers alike.
