Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise New Zealand are hosting the inaugural 2025 Round Trip: Tyre & Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne, Australia
Join key players across Australia and New Zealand for this landmark summit focused on tyre and conveyor belt recycling, hosted by Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise New Zealand.
Over three days, manufacturers, recyclers, innovators, policymakers, and global industry stakeholders will connect to share ideas, explore global technologies, and uncover real-world market and infrastructure opportunities.
Expect engaging keynotes, expert panels, and powerful networking moments – all aimed at boosting tyre recovery, market growth, and innovation in tyre-derived products.
Let’s work together to maximise the resources in end-of-life tyres and conveyor belts and advance a circular economy for tyres and conveyor belts.
MC/Keynote – Paul Kenyon, BBC UK
Kenyon recently reported ‘The Tyre Scandal’ for BBC File on 4 Investigates programme, which exposes the environmental and regulatory gaps enabling the global export of end-of-life tyres to poorly regulated facilities abroad.
Paul is a BAFTA-winning journalist and author who has reported from conflict zones around the world for BBC Panorama and has written several books. Paul made his name by confronting criminals on his prime time TV show on BBC 1.
