Overview
Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) stands at the forefront of promoting a circular economy for end-of-life tyres across Australia.
As the only government-approved product steward for the Australian tyre industry, TSA is dedicated to achieving 100% recoverability and recycling of tyre materials. However, their previous website posed significant challenges; many users were unaware of TSA's mission, mistakenly believing they sold tyres, and faced confusion navigating the complex accreditation process and other services they provided across all touch points of the tyre industry from education and market research to creating industry and experimental product development.
Recognising the need for clarity and accessibility, we undertook a comprehensive redesign of TSA's online presence. Our process began with in-depth persona creation, site mapping, and wireframing, leading to high-fidelity designs that reflect TSA's vision and values. The new website features multi-level self-assessment forms tailored to various user personas, extensive search functionality, and a wealth of categorised resources, all designed to foster understanding and engagement.
Our innovative approach not only streamlines user navigation but also ensures compliance with WCAG accessibility standards, making information readily available to all. By enhancing educational resources and clearly communicating TSA's role in the circular economy, we aimed to empower users while driving increased online accreditation applications. This case study highlights the strategic design choices made to elevate TSA's mission and improve their digital footprint.
TSA - Tyre Stewardship Australia
A multi-faceted government product stewardship agent overseeing the lifecycle and market research & development of tyre products across Australia

The original TSA website featured a collection of documents and brochures that had developed inconsistently in branding over the years. Through a thorough review and collaborative discussions with TSA stakeholders, we identified specific materials that would serve as effective sources of inspiration for the redesign. This strategic selection ensured a cohesive visual identity that aligns with TSA’s mission while enhancing overall user experience.

Colour
The color palette was rigorously tested for WCAG compliance, revealing that none of the existing colors met the accessibility standards against a white background. TSA expressed a strong preference for using gradients as the primary color scheme instead of the logo's green. This decision was driven by concerns that the green might be perceived as greenwashing, highlighting the importance of transparency and authenticity in their branding approach.
