2022
Summary:
Tire producers, or PROs on their behalf, and service providers were required to report 2022 recovery results for collecting and recovering used tires by May 31, 2023. Recovery reports submitted by PROs in 2023 show that the 60% collection rate for large tires and the 85% recovery rate target for all tires outlined in the Tires Regulation was achieved. However, the 85% collection target for all tires was not achieved. Note that the 2022 recovery results are not audited. They will be audited, along with 2021 and 2023 performance, in 2024.
