BAFTA-winning BBC journalist Paul Kenyon joins The Tyre Recycling Podcast live from the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne. Paul, whose File on 4 programme "The Tyre Scandal" exposed the illegal export of UK end-of-life tyres to India, discusses what he hoped to learn at the summit, noting Australia is at a "more advanced stage" than the UK. He reveals the "epiphany moment" of his investigation: realizing India lacked the legal pyrolysis capacity to process the sheer volume of tyres being exported from the UK. Paul identifies the UK's T8 exemption system as a major regulatory gap that allows for minimal enforcement or checks. He criticizes the UK government for its "utterly dismissive" response to the evidence and suggests the status quo is protected because the UK lacks the domestic facilities to manage its own tyre waste.

Paul Kenyon covers all this and more in Episode 80. So please join us as we explore the findings and fallout from the investigation that put the UK tyre recycling industry under a global spotlight.
