Oslo, Norway is home to reTyre, a company that has recently shifted to mass-producing sustainable tires in 2022. At this years Eurobike, theyve announced the worlds first carbon-neutral tire, made of 100% reclaimed materials in an effort to use cutting-edge manufacturing technology to reduce emissions.(Photos/reTyre)ReTyre claims that the tire is crafted from groundbreaking materials, and the innovative concept marks a monumental step in sustainable tire production.A Revolution In Tire Manufacturing(Photos/reTyre)ReTyres Carbon-neutral tire incorporates several unique materials in its construction, each chosen for its ability to minimize environmental impact:Algae in the TreadSourced from algae blooms to restore aquatic ecosystems, preventing eutrophication and methane release.Recycled Para-Aramid in the Beads and Puncture ProtectionRubberless Balance Bike tiresUtilized from used body armor in a closed-loop recycling process, incorporating renewable carbon and reducing waste.Post-Consumer Recyclate (PCR)Sourced from local waste streams with low Co2-equivalent (kg Co2-eq)Recycled Fish Nets for the CasingCollected from the ocean, reducing emissions by 49% and energy use by 15%The Path to Carbon NeutralityThe person who is leading the Carbon Neutral Tire Project at reTyre is Froiedemann Ohse. He elaborates on the meticulous process that goes into achieving carbon neutrality. The product carbon footprint of this tire is based on our third-party verified LCA, including the end-of-life, which is how we measure all our products. Our production and transportation processes are optimized to be close to zero emissions. Ohse continues, End-of-life is reduced to almost zero due to the recycling of the tires. The algae used in the tire has a negative CO2 equivalent, balancing any remaining emissions to achieve a net-zero impact. In this way, we have a carbon-neutral product without using any of the well-known shortcuts, such as carbon quotas, subsidies, or other non-product related contributions.A Global EffortReTyre collaborates with global suppliers to responsibly source their materials. For instance, the algae used in the process is harvested from lakes and oceans worldwide and is supported by the UN Ecosystem Restoration Program.Unique Materials + Manufacturing PossibilitiesUsing its 100% sustainable product portfolio, reTyre can offer brands a wide range of sustainable tires without compromising quality. By using bio-based and 100% renewable materials that have never been used before, reTyre significantly reduces emissions and produces fully reusable tires. This approach reduces GHG emissions by up to 82% compared to conventional tires. Friedmann Ohse also said, This carbon-neutral tire is at a concept stage and it is a result of continuous innovation that shows what our unique manufacturing is capable of.Eurobike DebutIn addition to the groundbreaking carbon-neutral tire, reTyre showed its full range of sustainable products, including the new City Range tires designed for the urban cyclist.reTyre.ecoThe post reTyre Unveils Worlds First Carbon-Neutral Tire at This Years Eurobike appeared first on Bikerumor.
