Changes to the Tires Regulation: Updated 2026/27 management requirements and upcoming webinars

Revised management requirements

Starting with the 2026 performance year, producers must manage 80% of tires they supplied into Ontario, based on a three-year rolling average, up from 65%. The 2026 increase is not pro-rated.

No action is required from producers who did not previously have a management requirement.

Next steps for producers

RPRA has updated producers’ 2026 and 2027 management requirements in the registry using information from producers’ 2025 and 2026 annual supply reports. Producers must confirm that their revised requirements are correct and notify their PRO. PROs will only be aware of revised management requirements if a producer notifies them directly.

Step-by-step instructions have been provided to producers on how to confirm their management requirements in the registry. PROs are aware producers need to confirm their revised management requirements and are encouraged to follow up with producers who do not contact them.

Note: RPRA is not responsible for any changes to the terms and conditions of a producer’s contract with their PRO.

Register for webinars on the Tires Regulation amendments

RPRA hosted two webinars to help registrants understand the amended Tires Regulation and how the changes affect them. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks joined RPRA’s webinar for service providers to provide information and steps required for applying for an emergency Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) to increase tire storage at a collection site.
