 ld Engineering Building- MD 267\n\nTyres are indispensable to modern life\
 , powering mobility\, enabling industrial operations\, and supporting reso
 urce extraction. Yet their environmental footprint is significant\, and th
 e scale of global tyre use demands a deeper understanding of the challenge
 s across their entire value chain.\n\nOne of the most pressing concerns is
  the generation of tyre wear particles—microscopic pollutants that release
  hazardous chemicals into the environment. Researchers are actively explor
 ing ways to reduce abrasion\, develop safer materials\, and design tyres t
 hat balance sustainability with performance.\n\nEnd-of-life tyre managemen
 t is another critical focus. Mismanaged tyres can lead to severe environme
 ntal consequences\, including resource loss\, pest infestations\, and cata
 strophic fires. Improving recovery rates and implementing responsible disp
 osal strategies are essential steps toward mitigating these risks.\n\nAust
 ralia is emerging as a leader in tyre circularity\, investing in research 
 that transforms used tyres into high-value market products. These repurpos
 ed materials\, while distinct from traditional tyres\, introduce new envir
 onmental considerations that require tailored approaches.\n\nIn this semin
 ar\, Dr. Linda Mitchell will guide us through the environmental challenges
  and opportunities across the tyre value chain\, highlighting how circular
  economy principles can minimize waste and pollution\, recirculate materia
 ls at their highest value\, and reshape the future of tyre sustainability.
 \n\n\nDr Linda Mitchell\n\nDr Linda Mitchell is the Science\, Research and
  Innovation Manager at Tyre Stewardship Australia. Linda has a PhD in Chem
 istry from the University of Sydney\, along with industry experience worki
 ng as a scientist for the Australian Commonwealth Government.\n\nIn her cu
 rrent role Linda provides invaluable support towards market development\, 
 life cycle thinking and building evidence and transparency around the risk
 s and opportunities associated with tyre use and resource recovery. She is
  also passionate about science communication and advocating for better out
 comes and has been heard talking about tyres at comedy festivals\, podcast
 s and local new stations.\n\nRegister Now: https://mcgill.ca/x/iXe\n
