New initiative helps garages demonstrate their environmental credentials

Garages and tyre retailers across the UK are now able to demonstrate their environmental commitment and credentials with the launch of the tyre industry’s ‘Responsible Retailer’ initiative. The new programme has been designed specifically for retailers and will help them to not only manage their used tyre disposal in line with industry best practice guidelines, but will also help them promote these credentials to motorists, an area which has often been neglected. “In the UK we generate some 40 million used car and van tyres each year which need to be recycled in a responsible manner,”
