Why is TIP stepping-up its collaboration with end-of-life tire (ELT) value-chain stakeholders?
TIP research supports the observation that ELT management has benefited from good communication and cooperation between stakeholders. The various efforts of governments, the tire industry and individual manufacturers have resulted in examples of improved ELT management, evident through increased ELT recovery rates and improved scope and uptake for the use of ELTs in improved positions in the waste hierarchy.
We recognize that moving ELT management further toward a circular economy will require enhanced information sharing, new business models, supportive policies and greater collaboration among value chain stakeholders.
