6. MAJOR AREAS IMPACTING
ENVIRONMENT
Energy and raw materials sourcing and use during
manufacture
During use :Tire wear as vehicles move, which
generates and disperses tire and road wear
particles (TRWP),Tire rolling resistance, which
directly affects vehicle energy use and the resulting
greenhouse gas emissions.
End-of-life tire management

10. MAJOR STEPS TAKEN IN MAKING CEAT
SUSTAINABLE
Judiciously uses resources
and optimizes tyres by
being environmentally
responsible and creating
sustainability through
eco-friendly products.
Deliver safety by
inducing advanced
technology which
blends grip & control
without compromising
tyre life.
Focus on developing
materials and
compounds essential
for grip, safety and tyre
life with least impact to
the environment.
Work closely with world class
universities and research
institutions on advanced
material technologies and
novel materials and make
them available within shorter
development cycles.
Use least materials of
petroleum origin by improved
functionality and optimum
usage of recycled materials.
“Green steps” are accelerated
to minimize carbon footprint
by engaging with renowned
experts.
Having a process
development group is to
co-engineer the process
and proving of the design
with first-time right
ideology in manufacturing
process.
By implementing poka-
yoke in the system, we
strengthen the process
consistencies which then
achieve various Global
Certifications like
TS16949, OHSAS etc.
State of the art tyre

Goodyear, with
presence over
160 countries
19 manufacturing
sites around the
world and a network
of around 10,000
distributors and
retailers
Multinational
company based
in Milan, Italy,
formerly listed
on the Milan
Stock Exchange
since 1922.
Acquired in 2015
by ChemChina.
12. HOW PIRELLI ADOPTED SUSTAINABILITY
MEASURES
Carbon Disclosure Project Partnership with Kirana Megatara
The Sustainability Plan Global Stakeholder Dialogue
As Pirelli Chief Executive Officer Marco
Tronchetti Provera says:
“Sustainability is a fundamental choice
for Pirelli. It is fully integrated into the
group's vision and strategies for growth,
in all business areas and in all
management decisions, everywhere in
the world.”
13. GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN TYRE
INDUSTRY
One of the hottest topics at the
International Tire Exhibition &
Conference Tire held in October,
2014 for tire manufacturers in Akron
was recycling, scrap tires and the
sustainable aspects of the industry.
Many companies are working
towards putting together
sustainable programs to
create more opportunity for
tires to be reused instead of
dumping them into landfills
14. WHAT MADE LEHIGH TECHNOLOGIES THINK
ABOUT “THE GREENEST TIRE”
• Developing high-value uses for end-of-life tire materials that would
otherwise be burned or deposited in landfills. How?
• Every pound of Lehigh's MRP helps save:
• 10kwH of energy in comparison with traditional alternatives
• 40 percent of the CO2 produced with traditional alternatives
• Tires and post-industrial rubber from landfills
Green for
Free
• In 2007, they started a worldwide campaign to increase the
environmental contributions of the tire industry through the use of
innovative, sustainable materials.Their goal was very ambitious:
manufacturing 1 billion “green tires” that will enhance sustainability
• Finally in 2015,they achieved a major milestone on the road to 1 billion
tires. As of January 2016, over 400 million new tires and retreads have
been manufactured with Lehigh’s MRP
WHAT DID
THEY DO TO
COME UP
WITH GREEN
TYRE?
15. Every pound of Lehigh's Micronized
Rubber Powder helps save:
• 10kWh of energy—enough to power
a computer for 50 hours.
• About 40 percent of the CO2
emissions of oil-derived resins.
• Focus on better rolling resistance kept
tires from landfills, and reduced the
energy and greenhouse gas emissions
associated with manufacturing a new
tire from virgin materials.
• 5-15% of fuel is consumed to
overcome rolling resistance
• Low rolling resistance decreases the
energy used per tire roll, which
improves vehicle fuel efficiency
• Tires with better rolling resistance also
use less oil for the production of
gasoline, and less money spent at the
pump for consumers.
