Welcome to the TSM Stakeholder Consultation Workbook

TSM, a non-profit Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) representing Manitoba’s new tire industry, is seeking a five-year program plan renewal extended to June 30, 2028. TSM recycles all tires and tubes available for recycling in Manitoba annually with the support of tire recyclers, new tire sellers, motor and equipment dealers, municipal partners, and other end-of-life tire generators.

TSM’s financial projections remain positive for the duration of the proposed plan. The goal of the Plan is to continue building upon the significant accomplishments of the TSM program and focus on operating an effective, efficient and sustainable tire stewardship program.

Your thoughtful consideration of the consultation document and reference material provided will assist TSM in preparing a new Plan for submission to government. TSM will collect and forward to government participants names, their comments and survey results in a “What You Told Us” Document when it prepares and submits its 2023-2028 Stewardship Program Plan by January 31, 2023.
