This year's report showcases how cross-collaboration and investment are helping accelerate Australia's tyre circular economy. Some of the highlights include:

✅ Advancing the use of crumb rubber in roads across Australia through technical research and industry collaboration.

✅ Strengthening stewardship reform through the national tyre inquiry and a series of policy submissions.

✅ Sharing global circular economy insights and innovation at the Round Trip: Tyre & Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in 2025.

✅ Bringing national attention to illegal tyre dumping through a powerful documentary that gained traction with ABC and A Current Affair.

These achievements, along with many others, demonstrate the collective efforts of industry, government and stakeholders working together to drive meaningful change.

Thank you to the tyre and auto brands that continue to voluntarily contribute to the Scheme, as well as our accredited participants, funding recipients and industry partners, whose commitment is helping deliver better outcomes for Australia's end-of-life tyres.

For Cleanaway, the answer includes tyre retreading.

As a long-term user of retreads across its kerbside fleet, Cleanaway estimates purchasing 𝟲,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝘆𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, delivering significant cost and emissions savings while supporting an Australian circular economy industry.

𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
✅ $642,000 in tyre cost savings
✅ 240 tonnes of waste avoided per retread
✅ 690,000 kg CO₂-e emissions reduction

The case study demonstrates how looking beyond upfront tyre costs and focusing on whole-of-life value can deliver both commercial and circular economy benefits for fleet operators.

New consumer research shows overwhelming support for a stronger, fairer system for managing used tyres:

• 91% want national rules requiring tyres to be properly collected and recycled
• 92% say the tyre industry should take greater responsibility
• 87% support stronger penalties for illegal tyre dumping
• 61% of motorists were not told what would happen to their old tyres when replaced

This is no longer just an industry issue. It is a public expectation.

Australians are paying disposal fees. Councils are cleaning up dumped tyres. Communities are seeing the problem firsthand.

The message to government is clear: voluntary action is no longer enough.
