The approved Product Stewardship Program includes references to supporting the development of a viable and sustainable scrap tire processing industry in the province.  The Scrap Tire Management Regulations provides additional direction related to acceptable end use, as do the PSP Guidelines and the approved PSP.  The TSS is interested in encouraging industry to produce higher value products from scrap tires, to work with industry on innovation and new technologies, and to support the development of new markets.  TSS will serve as a champion and collaborate with industry. A processor is selected through a public request for proposal (RFP) process, administered by Sask Builds procurement, based on the quality of the proposal, meeting certain predetermined requirements, and a competitive price.   

Saskatchewan benefits from having a processor located in Moose Jaw.  Crumb Rubber Manufacturers (CRM), located in Moose Jaw supplies crumb rubber to Rubber-Modified Asphalt (RMA), synthetic turf fields and rubber molded product markets across North America. TSS is in the final stages of establishing a second processing location near Saskatoon to be in operation in 2025.

Processors and innovators with an interest in the direction of TSS and the PSP can contact the TSS office.
