2021
Summary:
Tire producers, or PROs on their behalf, and service providers were required to report 2021 performance results for collecting and recovering used tires by May 31, 2022. Audited performance reports submitted by PROs in 2022 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.
