Reducing tire impact through material innovation
The future of mobility demands more than performance. It demands responsibility. Our new generation of tires combines advanced material engineering with measurable cradle-to-gate CO₂ reductions, while maintaining durability, safety and performance.
Smarter materials. A measurably lower CO₂ footprint.
By rethinking the core materials used in tire production,
we’ve developed a tire that significantly lowers CO₂
emissions while maintaining the high standards drivers
expect.
Rice-husk silica: a lower-carbon alternative to conventional carbon black
Up to 4 kg lower CO₂ emissions per kg of material compared with conventional carbon black
Derived from agricultural rice-husk waste
Uses agricultural waste as an alternative raw-material source
Contributes to more efficient use of existing material streams
Recycled fishing-net nylon: recovered material for high-performance reinforcement
1.98 kg lower CO₂ emissions per kg of material compared with standard nylon
Made using nylon recovered from discarded fishing nets
Designed to maintain the required strength and durability
Gives recovered nylon a new high-performance application
Smarter materials. Measurable progress.
Innovation isn’t just about getting from A to B. It is also about reducing the impact of the materials we use. Join us as we work to reduce the environmental impact of tire materials.
