TSM is requesting all Manitobans to review the DRAFTED TIRE STEWARDSHIP MANITOBA 2012-2016 PROGRAM PLAN and provide us with your valuable input toward the development of the program plan (EMAIL COMMENTS). TSM must receive all comments before March 1, 2011 in order to allow time for making changes, should any amendments to the current draft plan be required. After receiving all stakeholders valuable input and making any required changes to the program plan, TSM will submit the plan by May 1, 2011 to the Minister of Conservation for approval.
As TSM assumed responsibility for all OTR scrap tires, encouraging further processor investment and development for tire products derived from scrap OTR tires, over 2,100 tonnes of Manitoba’s scrap OTR tires that accumulated at landfills and dealer yards were collected and processed from January to December in 2009. This marks the first time that province-wide collection and processing of Manitoba’s scrap OTR tire inventory was conducted on a year-round basis.
