Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) was established in 2009 and is incorporated under Ontario’s Waste Diversion Act. OTS operates the Used Tires Program, a province-wide tire recycling program that has diverted over 50 million tires from burning and landfills.
We work together with innovative Ontario companies to ensure a sustainable
future for the tire recycling industry. Our network of haulers, processors and
recycled product manufacturers has created a multi-million dollar industry and
hundreds of new jobs in Ontario. The manufacturers we work with have
developed dozens of new products that have powerful effects on the
architecture, construction, landscaping and property management industries.
These products have led to innovations in offices, sports facilities, public
spaces and even homes and backyards.

The environment is important to all Ontarians, but we understand that many of your purchase decisions are driven by performance, cost and accessibility to tire-derived products.
Tires are designed to be extremely durable, using raw materials that allow for products that are strong, flexible and resistant to damage and deterioration. These properties carry over into products made from recycled tire rubber.
