Tyre inquiry takes the wheel in Brisbane

THE House of Representatives Standing Committee on Industry, Innovation and Science will hold site visits and a public hearing in Brisbane 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, Rob Mitchell MP, said, "The committee is looking forward to getting back on the road to speak with businesses across the Australian tyre industry working towards more sustainable outcomes.

"On Thursday, June 11, the committee will visit tyre recycling and retreading facilities across the greater Brisbane region.

"The following day, on Friday, June 12, we will hear from a broad range of tyre industry stakeholders, including collectors, manufacturers, importers and distributors. Among the witnesses giving evidence at this public hearing is Bridgestone Australia, a major tyre importer and manufacturer of retreaded truck tyres in Australia."
