WM Waste Achieves Tyre Stewardship Accreditation

WM Waste Achieves Tyre Stewardship Accreditation

Feb 19, 2026

At WM Waste, we are proud to announce that we are now a valued and accredited participant in the Australian tyre stewardship program, supporting the responsible management and recycling of used tyres.

We are officially recognised under the Australian Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme, administered by Tyre Stewardship Australia.

What Is Tyre Stewardship?

Tyre stewardship is designed to increase resource recovery and recycling and to minimise the environmental, health and safety impacts of all used tyres generated in Australia; and develop Australia’s tyre recycling industry and markets.

Through this national scheme, accredited businesses like WM Waste play a vital role in:

• Reducing illegal dumping and stockpiling
• Diverting tyres from landfill
• Supporting local recycling industries
• Minimising environmental and health risks
• Creating new uses for recycled rubber and materials

The Tyre Stewardship Scheme provides an ACCC authorised, industry framework to effectively reduce the environmental, health and safety impacts of the 56 million EPUs which reach the end of their life in Australia each year.

The Scheme has the multiple benefits of transforming a waste product into useful products, creating new industries and employment opportunities while also reducing the environmental harm caused by illegal dumping.

By becoming Tyre Stewardship accredited, WM Waste is helping ensure these tyres are handled in a safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible way.

This accreditation demonstrates that our systems, processes, and partners meet national standards for tyre collection, transport, and recycling.
