Earlier this week, Jesse spoke to an organisation called Tyrewise about a new tyre recycling scheme that began operating this month. Well, following that interview we heard from several people who still had lingering questions: does the process itself produce pollution? Can this be classed as "recycling" at all if the tyres are not re-used for the same purpose? For some clarity around these issues Mark Leishman talks to Sue Coutts, external affairs for Zero Waste Network Aotearoa.
