As he prepares to appear before a parliamentary inquiry into the state of Australia’s tyre industry, Tyrecycle Chief Executive Officer Jim Fairweather calls for mandatory, market-based regulation and increased government procurement.
We don’t want a single tyre dumped in Australia,” says Jim Fairweather, Chief Executive Officer of Tyrecycle. “But collection and schemes are not enough; you must create demand.”
It’s an uncompromising objective that underpins Tyrecycle’s formal submission to a parliamentary inquiry into the state of Australia’s tyre industry.
The inquiry, by the Standing Committee on Industry, Innovation and Science, was adopted on 5 November 2025 following a referral from the Minister for Industry and Innovation, and the Minister for Science.
