Tyrewise Starts Operations on 1st September

New Zealand’s Tyrewise aims to change the face of tyre recycling as its tyre management programme goes operational in September

The 1st September sees provisions of Waste Minimisation (Tyres) Regulations come fully into force.

The tyre stewardship fee pays for Registered Transporters to collect tyres that become end-of-life from 1 September from Registered Participants. In theory all tyres will be included in the system.

If fitters have not made arrangements to have stored tyres from before this date collected, you need to do so with your current collector before Sunday.

Registered retailers / fitters and generators will be able to book a collection in the Tyrewise software for 1 September onwards

Fitters will be able to set collection jobs to repeat weekly or monthly and the Registered Transporter will make contact to accept bookings.

Registered public collection sites will begin accepting up to five end-of-life tyres at a time from members of the public.

Fitters are reminded that they cannot legally make any sort of charge for disposal of tyres after 1st September.

Tyrewise Tariff alignment technical advisory group kicks off 

In response to industry concerns, a technical advisory group of industry members are looking at options to improve the alignment of tariff codes to the tyre stewardship fees.

They will be sharing their specialist knowledge to assess the practicalities and impacts of any policy options and acting as a sounding board for Ministry for the Environment.
