The drive to improve end-of-life tire (ELT) management
The management of ELTs in environmentally sound and productive ways continues to be a high priority of TIP members. Globally, an estimated one billion tires reach the end of their useful lives every year. While ELTs and their materials represent a valuable resource for the circular economy, management systems remain highly fragmented, with uneven collection, recovery and recycling outcomes across regions.
Accelerate your journey to a circular tire economy
The End-of-Life Tire Toolkit 2.0, published in early 2026, builds on TIP’s extensive global research to lay out key steps for establishing and enhancing ELT management systems. It is the only known consolidation of the latest industry knowledge, real-world case studies, and actionable guidance on the the topic. It offers an array of practical tools for assessing existing ELT management systems, identifying gaps and implementing improvements. The Toolkit also supports progress toward key UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including 8.4, 12.2, and 12.5.
Who is it for?
The Toolkit is designed for policymakers, industry associations, manufacturers, and all stakeholders across the tire value chain. Whether you are developing a new ELT management scheme or improving an existing one, it provides step-by-step guidance, maturity assessment tools, and tailored recommendations to support informed decision-making.
How to use it?
The Toolkit is modular and interactive. Readers can navigate directly to sections most relevant to their role, from regulatory frameworks and technology options to practical implementation guides and templates. Additional resources, including a glossary, annexes, and ready-to-use templates, enhance clarity and customization.
