Tyre Stewardship Australia Sustainability Actions

Runs the tyre stewardship scheme

TSA runs Australia’s national and voluntary Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme (TPSS). The scheme is meant to reduce the environmental, health, and safety impacts of tyres when they reach the end of their life. TSA says it accredits participants such as tyre brands, retailers, collectors, and recyclers, and checks compliance so used tyres are handled more responsibly. This is a product stewardship system, which means the people involved in making, selling, using, and collecting a product share responsibility for its impacts.

Funds tyre market development

TSA has invested more than $10 million in market development for tyre-derived material. This includes research, development, and work to find new uses for material made from old tyres. The goal is to turn waste into useful products and support new industries and jobs. TSA also says it has funded more than 200 projects, showing that it has already put money into practical reuse and recycling work rather than only publishing plans.

Supports tyre recycling uses

TSA explains how used tyres can be broken into crumb, granule, shred, fibre, and steel, which can then be used again in products and infrastructure. It highlights uses such as roads and even new tyres. The site also points to case studies showing crumb rubber asphalt on local roads and other reuse examples. This shows TSA is already helping build demand for recycled tyre material, not just collecting it.

Promotes education and engagement

TSA runs education and engagement programs, including My Tyres My Choice and work on illegal tyre dumping. It also provides tools and resources for industry and the public. These efforts are meant to help people understand what happens to used tyres and why proper collection and recycling matter. TSA says it works with communities, government, and industry to improve behaviour across the tyre supply chain.

Publishes supply chain analysis

In 2026, TSA released a tyre supply chain analysis that mapped major barriers to circularity in Australia. The report said the current voluntary scheme is not enough to grow recovery rates and called out issues such as free-riding importers, rogue collectors, illegal dumping, and low recycling rates. TSA used the report to argue for stronger participation rules and better policy settings across the whole tyre system.
