Will the UK Government finally ban the export of baled whole tyres and deliver on its zero-waste, circular economy goals?
Tuesday, 16 September 2025
Join the UK’s largest gathering of tyre recycling professionals as we tackle the pressing issues facing the industry today and shape its future.
Keynote Speaker: Georgia Elliott-Smith, Director, Fighting Dirty
Special Guest (invited): Mary Creagh MP, Labour’s Waste Minister
In her April address to Parliament, Mary Creagh MP pledged “a little more action under this government” and committed “to stop outsourcing our waste problems to other countries.”
This one-day conference will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, regulators, and campaigners to discuss:
-
When will the government implement the long-awaited T8 exemption reform announced in July?
-
Will the UK finally end the export of environmental responsibilities and move to shred-only policies?
-
Is the UK falling behind new waste regulations introduced across continental Europe?
-
Will the Environment Agency’s review of tyre exports lead to real reform?
-
Why is at least 150,000 tonnes of licensed domestic tyre recycling capacity sitting idle?
