The Used Tires Program is a province-wide scrap tire solution for On-road and Off-road tires supplied into the Ontario market, diverting them away from landfills and burning to 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) processing and uses.
OTS will provide financial incentives for registered organizations that collect, transport, and process Used Tires or manufacture recycled products in accordance with the Program Plan. These incentives will promote sustainable development and new markets for recycled materials and innovative uses for recycled rubber products. This will represent a $23 million investment in the Ontario tire recycling industry in the first year of the Program alone, stimulating economic growth and helping to increase capacity.
Within five years, the Program will divert 90% of scrap on-road tires and collect and recycle 50% of all scrap off-road tires.
