Bioplastics for a circular economy | Nature Reviews Materials
Bioplastics — typically plastics manufactured from bio-based polymers — stand to contribute to more sustainable commercial plastic life cycles as part of a circular economy, in which virgin
Michelin - In 2050, MICHELIN tires will be 100% sustainable
Inspired by the VISION concept tire introduced in 2017, an airless, connected, rechargeable and entirely sustainable solution, the Michelin Group is committed to making its tires 100% sustainable by 2050. Today, nearly 30%* of the components used in the manufacture of tires produced by the Michelin Group are already made from natural, recycled
Environment | Sustainability | Bridgestone Corporation
Value natural resources. Towards 100% sustainable materials. Action1: Reduce raw material consumption. Action2: Recycle resources & use effectively. Action3: Expand and diversify renewable resources. Waste reduction and recycling in our operations. Recycling and reusing used tires.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
A novel environmental soybean oil‐based plasticizer, epoxidized glycidyl ester of soybean oil fatty acids (EGESOFa), was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR),...
Eco-friendly tyre made from sustainable and recycled materials
The tyre which is being exhibited at the IAA Mobility Summit in Munich is made from 50 per cent sustainable raw materials, with an additional 35 per cent based on bio-materials, making the product both more suitable and also lighter. It weighs just 7.5 kilograms, 40 per cent less than the standard tyre. In addition, 17 per cent of the Conti
- Are tires sustainable?
- The major tire producers set a landmark of achieving the use of 100% sustainable materials in their tires by 2050. Defining sustainable materials as bio-sourced or recycled constituents . Tires are a crucial component of most types of transportation.
- Can bio-based resins replace plasticizers in tire tread compounds?
- One of the most used approaches to reach this goal is the use of bio-based raw materials. On this basis, this work aims to substitute the traditional plasticizers used in tire tread compounds (obtained from non-renewable resources) by bio-based resins.
- Are green tires the future of the tire industry?
- Development of green tires and green processing technologies using sustainable materials is an important development direction for the future of the tire industry, and many tire‐manufacturing companies have proposed their visions for the development of eco‐friendly tires.
- Are green tyres eco-friendly?
- Tread compounds contain carbon black and aromatic oils that are responsible for the CO 2 emissions that directly contribute to the carbon footprint. The concept of eco-friendly green tyres got much significance here.
- What are green tyres?
- Tyres from green technology are under continuous research for optimizing the formulation using partial or complete replacement of raw materials including synthetic rubber, reinforcing carbon black and fibres, and other compounding ingredients.
- What is eco-friendly tire tread rubber?
- Eco-friendly tire tread rubber composition with improved dispersibility that replaces some of the silica with a hydrophobic rice bran silica prepared by mixing rice bran silica with a liquid unsaturated fatty acid. This improves dispersion of the filler in the rubber matrix compared to using rice bran silica alone.
