With the COVID pandemic behind us, the highly anticipated TRA Annual Briefing Day is set to make its return, providing valuable insights into the complex realm of end-of-life tyres. What was once dismissed as an afterthought has now emerged as a prominent concern – the fate of waste tyres and the imperative to enhance the valorisation of this invaluable resource. Stakeholders are urged to save the date.

About the TRA
A cornerstone of the body is its support for the Responsible Recycler Scheme. All TRA members are fully accredited by the scheme, which ensures that all tyres collected, recycled or reprocessed by them are disposed of or reused in an environmentally friendly or acceptable methods. However, markets for tyre recovery continue to grow and develop and as the EU Landfill Directive is applied right across Europe, a new international dimension will evolve. The Tyre Recovery Association has the independent ability to pursue its broader objectives at both industry and government levels, generate performance data specific to its member’s interests as well as develop stronger links across the tyre recycling world.
