Tyre retailers play an invaluable role in the sustainable management and recycling of used tyres for Australia, and include any business that repairs, replaces or sells tyres, such as:
New and used vehicle dealers
Mechanics
Service stations
Repair and modification specialists e.g., retreaders
Parts manufacturers, wholesalers, wreckers and retailers
Industry associations that represent tyre retailers
Through TSA, tyre retailers that manage tyres responsibly can become an accredited participant in the Scheme.
This means they become part of a trusted network that:
shows consumers they can trust that their used tyres will be responsibly managed
reduces the environmental, social and economic risks of used tyres going to waste through landfill, illegal stockpiles and dumping in their local community
helps deter unlawful operators in their local community
supports Australian recyclers and manufacturers to produce tyre derived material which can be used to build better roads, sporting fields and many other surfaces and products
helps avoid the risk of greenwashing
benefits from point-of-sale promotions and consumer education
TSA Accredited Retailers are promoted through TSA’s national consumer education campaign, called My Tyres My Choice. The campaign encourages the public to ask where their used tyres go when they're replaced, to seek accredited tyre retailers that manage tyres responsibly, and acknowledge that those retailers are committed to working with accredited collectors and recyclers.
