About the Tyre Recovery Association

Formed in July 2004, the Tyre Recovery Association (TRA) was established out of a shared sense of purpose and professionalism among its members. The TRA is dedicated to promoting environmentally responsible tyre recycling practices. A cornerstone of the TRA is its Responsible Recycler Scheme (RRS). This scheme ensures that all TRA members are fully accredited, guaranteeing that all tyres collected, recycled, or reprocessed by them are managed in an environmentally friendly manner or through best practice methods.

As markets for tyre recovery continue to grow and evolve, the TRA is well-positioned to adapt and lead. The implementation of the EU Landfill Directive across Europe adds a new international dimension to the industry, and the TRA is poised to navigate these changes effectively. The association’s independent ability to pursue broader objectives at both industry and government levels allows it to generate performance data specific to its members’ interests and develop stronger European links.
