The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Industry, Innovation and Science will hold site visits and a public hearing in Sydney this week as part of its inquiry into the current state of the Australian tyre industry, and any challenges and opportunities for the industry within the context of a circular economy.
Committee Chair, Mr Rob Mitchell MP, said, 'The Committee will be making its final pit stop in Sydney to speak with researchers and other tyre industry representatives about work underway to improve circular outcomes for end-of-life tyres.
'On Tuesday, 14 July 2026, the Committee will visit tyre recycling, retreading and research facilities across Sydney.
'The following day, on Wednesday, 15 July 2026, the Committee will hear from a range of organisations at a public hearing, including those involved in the tyre, motoring and mining industries. Among those appearing is the Australian Tyre Industry Council, the peak industry body for tyres.'
