Recyclers must also demonstrate their recycling activities are currently operational and they are already turning end-of-life tyres to environmentally sound use. Before recyclers are accredited TSA will make an assessment of their capacity to ensure the end-of-life tyres they have received or plan to receive go to environmentally sound use. Documentation Recyclers must retain copies of all dockets/receipts from collectors, retailers, fleet operators, local governments and miners, including where the Standard Scheme Docket is used (see Appendix 16). Use of the Standard Scheme Docket does not replace any obligation to complete a waste tracking certificate when required by state and territory environment agencies. Recyclers must retain and, on request, provide to TSA all records and statements necessary for TSA to verify the amount of end-of-life tyres and tyre derived products they receive. Recyclers must also retain, and on request, provide to TSA all records and statements necessary for TSA to verify the fate of end-of-life tyres. Application form and process Recyclers that are also collectors are required to apply for status in both categories. For the purposes of participation in the scheme, businesses that operate as both recyclers and collectors will need to be clear about how they are to meet the two sets of commitments.
