The downloadable Excel report was last updated on September 23, 2026, with 2024 supply of tires and 2025 collection and recovery data.

The data is updated annually and is subject to change. RPRA does not independently audit or verify all reports it receives and cannot guarantee its accuracy. Published reports do not contain commercially sensitive information. This publication is for information only and does not indicate compliance or non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The webpage and visualizations will be updated with this data and recent amendments to recovery requirements over the coming weeks.

The tires supply and recovery data can be downloaded here.

Businesses that supply tires into Ontario are required to meet resource recovery requirements as outlined in the Tires Regulation. By law, tires producers must report every year on the weight of tires they supply into Ontario, and how they met the resource recovery requirements.

Tire producers report the weight of supplied materials to RPRA after a two-year lag (e.g., 2023 supply weight is reported to RPRA in 2025).

The dates below represent the year supply data was reported to RPRA.
