With elections looming in the UK on July the 4th, we decided to record a general election special of the Tyre Recycling podcast where we looked at the current status of waste tyre management in the UK and what policies (if any) the campaigning parties were looking to implement should they be elected. Editor Ewan Scott additionally spoke to Peter Taylor OBE, Secretary General of Tyre Recovery Association about the issues facing a future a government and his hopes for action rather than the inaction seen with regards to the T8 exemption.
