Michelin will make 100% tires sustainable by 2025

Posted: Posted:

100% sustainable by 2025

First the word "Sustainable".

From my point of view, I think it is "sustainable", but in Japan it is often referred to as "sustainable", so I would like to go with "sustainable" this time.

Looking at the contents of the sustainable tires that Michelin announced in the future, it seems that most of them are planned to be "recycled".

Michelin tires are made up of over 200 materials

Today's Michelin tires are made up of over 200 components. so much.

And Michelin wants these to be sustainable in every aspect and will invest in new ways to make tires using recycled materials.

Simply put, it seems that bio-waste such as wood, rice husks, and corn foliage is decomposed into compound butadiene, and that butadiene is combined with styrene (decomposed from polystyrene) to produce sustainable synthetic rubber. ..

Similarly, plastic can be disassembled into recycled plastic blades, old tires are considered recycled carbon black, both of which can be used to make new tires.

Is Michelin very easy to understand about these recycling methods (sustainability)? , The video shows how to cook sustainable tires, so if you are interested, please take a look ↓ ^^

It's a serious but cute video, and I just watched it all. It is a video of 2:56.

Currently, about 6,000 engineers, researchers, scientists, and developers are working on research every day to achieve this goal in Michelin.

In addition, Michelin is trying to reduce the amount of materials as much as possible while maintaining the performance and comfort of the tires, making the rubber industry itself environmentally friendly. That is also one of the goals.

Michelin is already environmentally friendly ... that is, the environmental load of the entire life cycle, to show that the goal of making Michelin tires 100% sustainable by 2025 is ambitious but not unattainable. We have already started production of a series of eco-friendly tires called "e.Primacy" that have been reduced.

The e.Primacy series tires will be released worldwide in early March 2021.

Until now, I was thinking only about Porsche's car (main body), but when I think about it, it is necessary to consider environmental problems even in places other than these tires and the main body related to the car. That's why you are trying to change in every field.
