Tyre Recovery Association

We are active members of the Tyre Recovery Association which was formed in July 2004, the TRA represents the UK’s tyre recovery sector, which processes over 40 million used tyres every year. A key role is to represent and promote good practice within the tyre recovery sector and to provide an externally audited, legally compliant tyre collection and recovery service which provides protection and peace of mind for all those who generate waste tyres across the UK. A cornerstone of the body is its support for the Tyre Industry Federation’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 manner or best practice methods.
