About Us
Our Story
In British Columbia, Extended Producer Responsibility is a government strategy to place the responsibility for end-of-life product management on the producer and consumers and not the general taxpayer or local government. In March 2006, the BC Ministry of Environment added tires to the Recycling Regulation.
Tire Stewardship BC is the agency in BC that formed to help producers (retailers) fulfil their obligations and focus on the collection and recycling of tires. To operate a scrap tire program in BC the producers must have a ministry-approved stewardship plan. The plan outlines how the program will run and how the obligations of the retailers will be met. The stewardship plan must be renewed every five years.
The history of the Stewardship Plan submissions and approvals is as follows:
- Stewardship Plan and Ministry approval (2006-2011)
- Stewardship Plan and Ministry approval (2013-2018)
- Stewardship Plan and Ministry approval (2018-2023)
- Stewardship Plan and Ministry approval (2021-2026)
