Tire recyclers join UK parliament advisory group

London - The Tyre Recovery Association (TRA) has been accepted into membership of the Parliamentary All-Party Sustainable Resource Group, the UK industry group has announced.

The APSRG is a long-established cross-party group, whose main purpose is to help parliamentarians fully engage with waste and sustainable resource policy issues, said a 10 Aug statement.

Taylor, for instance, pointed to the industry’s success in recovering, reusing or recycling virtually 100% of waste tire arisings, as required under the EU Landfill Directive – and the need to do even more in these areas.

The TRA leader concluded: “We exist in an uncertain and sometimes inhospitable regulatory climate and so it is more important than ever that we play our part in properly reconciling the needs of the environment with the sustainability of our own waste stream and recovery infrastructure.

“As members of the of the APSRG we very much look forward to doing just that.”
