WHAT ARE IMPACT PATHWAYS?

TIP identified seven opportunity areas where the tire sector can have transformative impact and contribute to the SDGs across three main themes: supply chain, operations, and products and services.

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.

Bio-based materials

Bio-based materials TIP members are investing in R&D to develop alternatives to natural rubber and petroleum-based products, for example: Continental’s Taraxagum project generates natural rubber from dandelions, opening up an alternative source of raw material that was used to develop Continental’s first production-line bicycle tire made from dandelion-sourced natural rubber. The dandelions are cultivated, extracted… Continue reading Bio-based materials
