Shercom Ends Contract with TSS And Premier Takes Action

Shercom Industries, situated in Saskatoon, has recently terminated its agreement with Tire Stewardship Saskatchewan (TSS), resulting in their inability to accept tires from this particular province.

As a result, the tire recycling business had to stop processing tires. TSS functions under a Ministry of Environment-approved program that supervises the handling of these types of products. Shercom is still making its tire-based products, but they can’t take any tires from Saskatchewan anymore.

To address this situation, Crumb Rubber Manufacturers, a company based in California, is establishing a facility in Moose Jaw.Their aim is to collect a large portion, ranging from 40 to 100 percent, of the tires in Saskatchewan.

Premier Scott Moe has requested the assistance of Cam Swan, a former senior government official, to collaborate with the Ministry and TSS. Swan will review how they buy things and look into the future needs of tire recycling and processing.

He will provide suggestions to the Minister. Meanwhile, the province has asked TSS to stop looking for a company to process tires in the Saskatoon area for now. The review is anticipated to be completed by the conclusion of the summer.

These recent events show a big change in how tires are managed in Saskatchewan. With Shercom Industries ending its partnership with TSS, the tire processing operations have shut down.

Premier Scott Moe is taking action by assigning someone experienced to check how things are done and figure out what’s needed for tire recycling in the future. These steps show the government is committed to dealing with this problem quickly and making sure tire waste is handled properly in the province.
