Environmental Policy

At TIRECRAFT, each team member and every operation contributes to our journey towards sustainability.

Our dedication to environmental responsibility encompasses efforts to prolong the lifespan of our products, divert waste from landfills, and minimize energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint through initiatives such as retreading tires for customers, collecting and recycling scrap tires, and implementing energy-efficient lighting solutions. These are just a few of the significant endeavors that TIRECRAFT is embracing as part of our pledge to lessen our environmental impact.

We believe in the importance of addressing everyday actions too— such as recycling, reducing paper usage, powering down equipment when not in use, and utilizing a wide range of eco-friendly products. Our team members are actively encouraged to conserve resources in all aspects of their work.

At TIRECRAFT, we recognize the significance of preserving our planet’s cleanliness, and we remain dedicated to fulfilling our role in this ongoing endeavor.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations:

We will comply with all applicable environmental laws, regulations, and standards related to our operations. We regularly monitor changes in environmental legislation and ensure that our practices remain in compliance.

Resource Conservation:

We are committed to resource conservation and sustainable practices in all aspects of our operations. We have implemented innovative initiatives to minimize our environmental footprint. For over a decade, TIRECRAFT has been at the forefront of energy efficiency, installing motion-activated lighting systems across our facilities to reduce electricity consumption. Furthermore, we have been proactive in harnessing renewable energy by installing solar panels on the roofs of our larger properties for over a decade. These solar panels not only help power our operations but also allow us to feed surplus energy back to the grid, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future. At TIRECRAFT, we believe in continuously seeking opportunities to conserve resources and protect the environment for generations to come.

Waste Reduction and Recycling:

We are dedicated to operating as close to a zero-waste operation as possible by implementing comprehensive recycling initiatives across all facets of our business. We recognize the importance of minimizing our environmental footprint and are committed to responsibly managing waste materials. Through our recycling programs, we ensure that resources such as oil, tires, retreading materials, cores, and scrap metal are diverted from landfills and repurposed or recycled whenever possible. Additionally, we collect and recycle scrap metal from all auto and tire-related activities, further reducing waste and promoting resource conservation. By prioritizing recycling and waste reduction, TIRECRAFT demonstrates its commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible business practices.

Retreading:

Tire wear particulate pollution often exceeds tailpipe emissions, underscoring the urgent need for environmentally conscious solutions. At TIRECRAFT, we address this challenge by prioritizing our retreading process, which utilizes only high-quality Michelin approved TreadRubber and employs techniques that maximize the tire/casing’s useful life. Retreading plays a vital role in environmental sustainability by significantly reducing the environmental impact of tire manufacturing and disposal. Instead of discarding tires after their initial tread wear, retreading allows for the reuse of the tire’s casing by replacing the worn tread with a new one. This process conserves valuable natural resources such as rubber and oil, which are essential components of tire production. By extending the lifespan of tires through retreading, fewer tires end up in landfills, reducing the volume of non-biodegradable waste and minimizing the risk of soil and water pollution. Moreover, retreading consumes less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to manufacturing new tires, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Overall, retreading helps to conserve resources, reduce waste, and mitigate the environmental impact of tire manufacturing, contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.

Sustainable Products and Services:

We will seek to offer environmentally friendly products and services to our customers whenever feasible. This includes promoting eco-friendly tire options, offering tire recycling services, and providing information on sustainable driving practices.

Continuous Improvement:

Being Better is one of TIRCRAFT’s core values and as such we remain committed to ongoing improvement , including in our environmental performance. We will regularly assess our environmental impacts, set measurable objectives and targets for improvement, and implement action plans to achieve them.

Employee Engagement and Training:

We will actively engage our employees in environmental initiatives and provide training and education on environmental issues and best practices. We encourage all employees to contribute ideas for reducing environmental impact and improving sustainability.

Community Engagement:

We will engage with our local community to raise awareness of environmental issues and continue to promote environmentally responsible behavior, products, and services. We will support community initiatives and participate in environmental outreach programs.

Communication and Transparency:

We will communicate our environmental policy, objectives, and achievements internally to employees and externally to customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. We will be transparent about our environmental performance and welcome feedback from stakeholders.

Leadership and Accountability:

Management is responsible for implementing and maintaining this environmental policy and ensuring that all employees are aware of their roles and responsibilities. We regularly review our environmental performance and hold ourselves accountable for achieving our environmental goals.

By adhering to this environmental policy, TIRECRAFT Ontario Inc. is committed to playing our part in protecting the environment and promoting sustainability in our industry and community.
