About us
Background
In British Columbia, Industry-led Product Stewardship is a government strategy to place the responsibility for end of life product management on the producer and consumers of a product and not the general taxpayer or local government. In March 2006 the BC Ministry of Environment added tires to the Recycling Regulation which required industry to submit a stewardship plan to the Ministry by the summer of 2006.
Tire Stewardship BC, a not for profit society, formed to accept responsibility for the provincial scrap tire recycling program, submitted its Stewardship Plan to the Ministry on August 17 2006. Ministry approval was received on September 19, 2006.
On January 01 2007 TSBC launched the new scrap tire recycling program replacing the government-run program that had been in place since 1991.
