About the TRA

The TRA is a very recent newcomer to Britain's tyre industry. Formed in July 2004 it was born out of a common sense of purpose and professionalism in which united its members.

A cornerstone of the new body is its support for the Tyre Industry Council's Responsible Recycler Scheme. All TRA members are fully accredited by the scheme, which guarantees that all tyres collected, recycled or reprocessed by them are disposed of or reused in an environmentally friendly or acceptable methods.

However, markets for tyre recovery continue to grow and develop and as the EU Landfill Directive is applied right across Europe a new intentional dimension will evolve.

The Tyre Recovery Association will have the independent ability to pursue its broader objectives at both industry and government levels, generate performance data specific to its member's interests as well as develop stronger European links right across the nation states of the EU via its membership of the European Tyre Recycling Association (ETRA).
