Impact Pathways
TIP identified seven opportunities where the tire sector can have transformative impact and contribute to the
SDGs across three main themes: supply chain, operations, and products and services.
Impact Pathway 7:
Advance innovation
in product, service, and business model design to enhance circular solutions, while ensuring sustainable management of End-of-Life Tires (ELTs) across the globe.
goal
8
Improve progressively through 2030 global
resource efficiency in consumption and
production, and endeavor to decouple
economic growth from environmental
degradation in accordance with the
10-year framework of programs on
sustainable consumption and production
with developed countries taking the lead.
target
8.4
Advance innovation in products, services and business model design to enhance low-carbon and circular solutions while ensuring sustainable management of end-of-life tires (ELT) around the world.
our actions
Establish cross-sectoral engagement supporting and enabling individual companies and their value chains to advance circularity and the development of alternative materials to reduce potential impacts on human health or the environment.
goal
12
By 2030, achieve the sustainable management
and efficient use of natural resources.
By 2030, achieve the environmentally sound
management of chemicals and all wastes
throughout their life cycle, in accordance
with agreed international frameworks, and
significantly reduce their release to air, water
and soil in order to minimize their adverse
impacts on human health and the environment.
By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation
through prevention, reduction, recycling
and reuse.
Encourage companies, especially large and
transnational companies, to adopt sustainable
practices and to integrate sustainability
information into their reporting cycle.
By 2030, ensure that people everywhere
have the relevant information and awareness
for sustainable development and lifestyles in
harmony with nature.

TIP End of Life Tires (ELT) and Sustainability Assessment Methods (SAM) Task Forces are united in their mission to elevate tire circularity and embrace low-carbon solutions. Working collaboratively, these task forces focus on three key areas:
1- Developing standardized definitions and methodologies for circularity and tire lifecycle impacts
2- Promoting alternative materials and eco-design concepts to reduce potential impacts on human health or the environment
3- Driving new practices for tire end-of-life management
