Rainforests are sacrificed to provide the rubber used in tires, even though alternatives exist. 70% of the global rubber harvest goes to the tire industry, which must now meet new supply chain rules approved by the European Parliament in April 2024.
The rules are designed to ensure due diligence and corporate accountability. Once the law takes effect, manufacturers in the EU will need to show their tires do not contain natural rubber from deforested land. The likes of Continental and Michelin will be obliged to make their supply chains more transparent. This certification process poses a problem for producers. Most natural rubber is produced in Asia. The supply chains from rubber farmers through various intermediaries to Europe have, however, been largely nontransparent to date. Companies are therefore exploring alternative materials and methods.
Tire manufacturer Pirelli, for example, is working with sustainable producers in Thailand. Michelin is testing high-tech tires to increase the service life of its products. And Continental, in cooperation with a leading German research institute, is looking into a raw material that could act as a substitute: the Russian dandelion. If cultivated on a large scale in Europe, it could help offset the demand for natural rubber. In addition, discarded old tires could be retreaded, recycled, and put back on the market - instead of ending up on a landfill site. Is the industry having a genuine change of heart, or are these merely examples of greenwashing?

The premise is laughably funny. The vast majority of the rubber in a passenger tire is synthetic. Now, truck tires and mining tires are a different matter. They have a larger percentage natural rubber content. Also, worldwide rubber production has been fairly stable since 2017. This is an odd documentary, especially since the competition to growing rubber trees is generally more traditional row crops. That is why many tire companies are looking at alternatives - they are afraid that the labor intensive rubber industry will get pushed out by cheaper to produce crops.

@TheDanEdwards 23 күн бұрын

"Also, worldwide rubber production has been fairly stable since 2017." - that's not what Statista tells me. According to them natural rubber production increased by over 8% from 2017 thru 2022. And the growth since 2000 has been quite dramatic. So I'd say this documentary is quite appropriately covering plantations for natural rubber.

We own two EVs. We run Toyo winter tires year around in Canada on both cars. The tires do not wear out differently than they did on our gasoline powered cars. In fact, I would say that they last longer since braking with EVs is most commonly done using regenerative braking. Be cautious about the accuracy of what you read, be it on the Internet, or with print publications. A lot of the stuff I see about EVs is nonsense, not only about tire wear, but also about charging costs. This is because a lot of the people providing that “information” are not knowledgeable about EVs. This said #1- we never charge the cars from 0% but instead from 20 or 30% to 80 to 100%. #2- We charge at home. Even if all you have is a 100 Amp electrical panel (200 Amp is better), the car can be charged at night when both the electricity rates are lower and there is less demand from your home. Finally, #3- Unless someone is driving 450 km (280 miles) a day, there is no reason to charge the car every day. Think about it, with a gasoline car do you top it off every day? From experience over the last 5 years, a full charge, from 0 to 100%, with either of our cars would cost only $7 to $8 Canadian. Indeed, recharging the cars has never cost us that much at home and the reality is that we aren’t able to identify a cost increase that can be clearly attributed to charging. This would not be the case with a gasoline powered car. EVs are the future, irrespective of the type of batteries that will power them. They will help mitigate climate change which, unless you are very thick, is becoming more obvious as time goes by. What needs to happen now is for people to put pressure on vehicle manufacturers to produce more affordable EVs and for government to create rules that will increase their adoption. That means that apartment/condo dwellers should have access, AT COST, to charging facilities where they live. Governments have no problem with telling everyone what to do. So, for them, this should be a simple thing.

Tyre companies are responsible for low price of natural rubber for growers cause they bribe governments to allow them to lease rain forests for dirt cheap rates for ridiculously long tenures. They never even pass on this low cost benefit to tyre buyers. The tyre companies are solely responsible for this ecological damage, cause in the process of making more profits, they kill off traditional rubber growers and then penetrate into rain forests.
