Government punctures tyre solution.
Government punctures tyre solution.
The Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association (IMVIA) is extremely disappointed by the announcement today that the government has decided to not proceed with the declaration of tyres as a Priority Product under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008.
This comes after an industry wide working group researched and prepared a report and consensus recommendation at the direct request of Minister Nick Smith.
The key issue was and remains the market failure in the collection and disposal of end-of life tyres, with recent news items about the stockpiles and consequent risks as examples. A declaration of tyres as a Priority Product would have been the first step toward responsible product stewardship and mitigating the environmental effects of end-of-life tyres.
