FEEDBACK REQUESTED: New Brunswick Tire Recycling Program – Modernization Project 2025
From the Waste Diversion (Branch), Environment and Local Government, GNB:
Environment and Climate Change is reinitiating engagement with key interested parties regarding a proposal to modernize our current provincial tire recycling program that manages passenger and truck tires at their end-of-life. The modernization scope is to convert the program to using the nationally recognized extended producer responsibility model and expand the program to include off-the-road tires. Environment and Climate Change has prepared a Consultation Document which outlines the proposed key elements of a modernized program.
As a key stakeholder in this process, we invite you to share with your members and provide feedback on the attached Consultation Document by September 26, 2025. Feedback may be submitted to me by email at mark.miller@gnb.ca.
