With 25 years in the market, we at Limitless Tire are dedicated to promoting a safer, sustainable future through quality tires designed with the environment in mind. The topic of tires and sustainability has gained significant traction, especially with the upcoming eco-design legislation that lists tires as a “priority product”. The impending law is a major step towards creating a sustainable future and a tire market that accommodates eco-friendly products.
Why have Tires been Listed as a “Priority Product”?
The imminent [ecodesign legislation](https://ec.europa.eu/growth/industry/sustainability/ecodesign_en) aims to reduce the overall environmental impact of products, extending from the design phase through to their end-of-life. In this context, tires have been specifically earmarked for their substantial role in both environmental and public safety considerations (link to https://limitlesstire.com).
Tires, once considered mere commodities, now play a fundamental role in reducing carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and noise pollution. Moreover, worn-out or end-of-life tires present a considerable waste management problem. Currently, a staggering [1 billion tires](https://www.rubiconglobal.com/blog-statistics-tire-recycling/) end up in landfills, dumps, and the natural environment annually globally, making responsible tire disposal and recycling paramount (link to https://limitlesstire.com).
The Sustainable Future of Tires
This eco-aware legislation demands innovation in the tire industry. Tire manufacturers must now consider improving tire longevity, reducing road noise, and enhancing fuel efficiency during the design process. Also, a major focus is being placed on creating extension strategies for tire life cycles, with emphasis on repair, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling tires (link to https://limitlesstire.com).
[The Shift towards Eco-friendly Tires](https://grist.org/business-technology/none-of-the-worlds-top-industries-would-be-profitable-if-they-paid-for-the-natural-capital-they-use/)The future tire generations will have minimal environmental impact, thanks to sustainable raw materials like silane, a compound that reduces rolling resistance and optimizes fuel efficiency. There is also a growing industry wide trend towards increased utilization of bio-derived materials, like natural rubber and synthetic alternatives such as BioIsoprene.
The incorporation of these sustainable practices will not only appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers but can also offer cost savings to end-users in terms of improved fuel efficiency and tire longevity. Employing green practices isn’t just good for the environment, but for business too.
Recycling – Breathing New Life into Old Tires
On the flip side of the equation, we have the issue of tire disposal. Notably, the aspect of tire recycling offers vast potential, both from an environmental and economic perspective (link to https://limitlesstire.com). A prime example is transforming end-of-life tires into secondary raw materials through a process called pyrolysis. Here, tires are broken down into carbon black, steel, and tire oil, which can then be reused to manufacture new tires or in other industries.
With certified tire-derived fuel eventually replacing traditional fossil fuels in cement plants, paper mills, and power plants, recycled tires could potentially mark the beginning of an energy revolution.
