Auto Stewardship New Zealand
Auto Stewardship New Zealand is the Product Stewardship Organisation for Tyrewise. It is a not-for-profit charitable trust responsible for governance and oversight of the scheme.

It is funded by fees paid on regulated tyres.
Mahi tahi - working together
Over many years, New Zealand tyre and automotive organisations have been working together to ensure the future wellbeing of Aotearoa and our communities. Through Tyrewise, we are supporting the opportunity for end-of-life tyres to become resources that fuel Kiwi ingenuity and industry. Now Tyrewise has launched, the Working Group has been replaced by Technical Advisory Groups.
Tyrewise Working Group
Technical Advisory Groups
The Technical Advisory Groups are key to the success of Tyrewise, providing specialist advice on Key Performance Indicators that will measure the success of our mahi. Representing each part of the supply chain, the Groups act as a sounding board for Auto Stewardship NZ and the Tyrewise scheme managers. If you are interested in lending your knowledge and expertise, please take a closer look.
Let’s move forward together. Haere whakamua tahi.
The Regulator
The Ministry for the Environment, through their regulatory powers under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008, are the Regulator for Tyrewise.
