TAFF Awards Environment Award – Envirotyre

In this final polled category only two companies – Credential Environmental and DME Tyres – survive from last year's finalists and they are joined by previous winners Kingpin Tyres, Envirotyre and Hardings Vans, a company providing a localised service. The awards, which recognises which tyre collection and recycling-related company members of the wider tyre industry considered most worthy in a popular vote, went to Envirotyre – a company that bills itself as being “one of the largest collectors of end of life tyres in the UK.”

Envirotyre collects and reprocesses all types of used tyres, providing this service to over 1,500 tyre outlets in Scotland and the North of England, ranging in size from single site businesses to larger national tyre distributors and leading tyre manufacturers. Here’s what how the company describes itself in its own words:

“We work with both the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and also the Environment Agency in England and Wales to minimise the environmental hazard of end of life tyres. In everything that we do, we seek to protect our environment and make it a better place. We continue to invest in carbon reduction opportunities and Compactyre will revolutionise the way in which end of life tyres are collected and significantly reduce the impact of rising energy costs for all who are involved in the sector.”
