On October 24, in affiliation with Nextgen Rubber Leaders (Nextgen), Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) brought together members of the tire industry and researchers for a knowledge-sharing symposium.

Local and international young professionals shared how their work challenges conventional thinking on rubber and explored the innovation occurring globally across the rubber industry.

The event's highlights:

  • We heard from rubber leaders from across the globe on a diverse range of rubber and tire topics.
  • The knowledge-sharing symposium ran concurrently across Melbourne, Cote D'Ivoire, Singapore and Germany enabling us to engage across the globe.

About Tyre Stewardship Australia

Tyre Stewardship Australia has been formed to implement the national Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme to promote the development of viable markets for end-of-life tires.

This will have the multiple benefits of transforming a waste product into a useful commodity, creating new industries and employment opportunities while also reducing the environmental harm caused by the illegal dumping of old tires.

TSA is made up of representatives from across the tyre supply chain including tyre retailers, manufacturers, recyclers and collectors. TSA members also include the Australian Motor Industry Federation.
