New Zealand’s government approved regulations of end-of-life tire management
New Zealand’s government has approved regulations which will change the way the country manages its end-of-life tires. They outline how regulated product stewardship, through the Tyrewise scheme, will work for the first time in Aotearoa. A key part of the regulation is replacing the existing ad hoc ‘environmental’ or disposal charges New Zealanders currently face when disposing of old tires with a tire stewardship fee.
