1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Another idea to help the environment. This is to do

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: with tires. We import six and a half million tires

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: every year. Three point nine million of those end up

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: on the landfill or dumped. So tire Wise, private scheme

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: supported by the government, is here to help. Apparently Adel

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: roses with us on or this adele morning to.

7
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: You morning Mike.

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: How many of us even think about it given we

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: just go down to wherever and you know when you

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: do the warrant and they flip the tire across and

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: we just drive a new tire away.

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: Well, I think that that's a good point. And so

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: what tire Wise does is make sure that once you

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: leave the store you can be sure that your tire

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: gets to where you think it's going to go to

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: an end of life. So by their saving the phase

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: actually collected by the regulator at point of import on

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: both tires or MZTA on vehicles and so that money

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: is then controlled through the supply chain and tire Wise

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: hayes for that collection make sure that the tie gets

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: to the processor. Do they actually go Yeah, so they

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: go to various these about seven different places around New

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 2: Zealand where they go to that processors shred and chap

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: and to tires and a crumb rubber and the largest

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: proportion goes to golden based in Portland is tied ye fuel.

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: Most of the processings in Auckland, of course, Orkland, Cambridge

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 2: around that area.

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: Does any of it end up on roads? I thought

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: they were making it into roads.

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Well that's what we want. So that's the holy grail

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: for New Zealand really is being able to put it

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: back into roading as they do just about everywhere else

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: in the world. Yeah.

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine if we could fill the potholes with old tires.

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: Well, imagine this that our roads last thirty percent longer,

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: twice as nearly twice as durable because of but more

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: that the money is not being made and going back

38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: and filling in potholes and redoing their road. So that's

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: what we want. And got a meeting with the MCTA

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: and Early Teender to try and push that, but only

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: hold up as procurement we can do it in New Zealand. Yeah,

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: so yeah, that's where we want our tires and news

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: ou and going back into roading.

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: I hope it goes well for you. Adele, appreciate it

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: very much. Adele Rose tire wise, how many of us

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: think about where they go and what they end up.

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: And you can always use them for the little planters.

48
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: You take a tire, you fill it with some soil,

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: you put some potted coloring. If you want a bit

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: of height, you put two or three tires in, so

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: you've got elevated potted color. Just ideas. For more from
