The following parties have been involved since 2012:
Tyrewise Working Group (TWG) is a coalition of industry representatives who came together to develop a stewardship programme for ELTs. The Group will continue to act in an advisory group capacity during the interim phase from completion of Milestone 7 to an action taking place, including Project Managers, 3R Group.
Auto Stewardship New Zealand (ASNZ) is a not-for-profit charitable trust which will work as an umbrella organisation for all aspects of “autos” including and beyond tyres.
