DSEWPaC’s website provides the following overview of the Product Stewardship for Tyres Scheme :
“In November 2009, the EPHC agreed to work with the tyre industry on the establishment of a voluntary industry-led approach to product stewardship for tyres. The development of a product stewardship initiative was to assist in overcoming the impediments to markets for end-of-life tyres and tyre derived products and to gain more value from end-of-life tyres generated in Australia”.
In 2012, Hyder Consulting prepared a report for the Council of Australian Governments Standing Council on Environment and Water Study into domestic and international fate of end- of-life tyres. The report included data on waste tyres that is relevant to this report (included in the table below). At the time of writing no annual reporting is available for this scheme.
