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
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.

target
12.4

Further leverage multi-stakeholder efforts to achieve evidence-based solutions that address tire and road wear particles.

our actions

Engage with stakeholders and other sectors to identify and assess mitigation options (e.g., product innovation, user behavior, road characteristics, street sweeping and maintenance, road run-off management, water treatment systems).

our actions

Develop standardized methodologies and definitions – that stakeholders widely adopt – for the identification and quantification of TRWP, including transparency and disclosure requirements.

Continue research and dissemination of results to understand potential pathways and human health and environmental impacts of TRWP and tire tread materials.

Contributing to a scientific understanding of TRWP It is common knowledge that tires wear during normal use but questions remain about the characteristics of tire wear particles, what happens to the particles once generated, and if the particles pose potential risks to human health and the environment. TIP has been working since 2005 to support… Continue reading Contributing to a scientific understanding of TRWP
