Tire recycling company lays off 79 employees

Shercom Industries, Inc. a tire recycling business located in Saskatchewan, Canada, has had to lay off workers due to a decision by the Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan (TSS) to redirect tires outside the province.

Shercom Industries President Shane Olson said the company sent notification of layoffs to the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety informing the ministry that 79 employees would be laid off effective December 2, 2024.

The 79 employees affected by the current layoffs work solely in value-added manufacturing.

Since 1993, Shercom has been recycling used tires into products for commercial and residential projects, including garage and gym mats, rubber tiles, curb ramps, and speed bumps.

Shercom, a private business, had been recycling more than 50 million pounds of used tires annually until 2023, when the provincial recycling program was awarded to a U.S. company.

Olson said Shercom has been in the tire recycling business for 30 years and pioneered a method to harvest rubber from hazardous tire waste, turning it into value-added molded rubber products.
