Federal Parliament has spoken on tyres -the time for action is now.

Key points

• Tyre Stewardship Australia has welcomed a federal parliamentary committee report on the tyre industry and urged the government to act on its 12 recommendations without delay. The recommendations include national rules for end-of-life tyres, a staged move away from onsite burial of mining tyres, and support for regional and remote areas.
• Chief Executive Lina Goodman said off-the-road tyre recovery rates had risen from 9 per cent to 21 per cent since 2021.
• Consumer research commissioned by the group found 91 per cent of Australians support national rules for used tyres.
