Tyre Disposal

Leading the way with Sustainable Benefits of used tyres

Working with industry to invest in circular economy programs

Bearcat is concerned for the environment and in finding ways to reduce waste and maximize the recycling possibilities for our EOLT products. From 2022 Bearcat Tyres is one of the founding members of the Tyre Stewardship program for OHT (Off-Highway Tyres).

100% of old tyres collected nationally went into TSA approved programs through accredited tyre collectors and recyclers.
