• Progress the case for domestic markets for used tyre products, primarily rubber crumb and the use of this material in Australia’s roads
• Focus on the most significant market-failure in the recovery of used tyres, namely the ongoing burial on site of used mine (Off The Road OTR) tyres and their low levels of recovery of just 1%-5%
• Support efforts by the legitimate industry for the Federal Government to enforce its own export controls and eradicate the ongoing illegal export of non-compliant tyre products
• Pursue options for the enforcement also of existing state regulations related to used tyre collection and recycling

The Australian Tyre Recyclers Association (ATRA) represents the interests of Australia’s leading, legitimate and sustainable used tyre recycling sector.

With a majority of the country’s used tyre recycling activity managed by ATRA members, the association is committed to promoting environmentally responsible, high order and economically viable end-of-life tyre (ELT) solutions. An important pathway for ELT recovery is Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF), which offers significant environmental and economic benefits and can act is a bridging product as we move to higher order outcomes.
