End-of-life and recycling
Collecting and recycling tires: is today’s waste the resources of tomorrow?

At the end of their life, Michelin aims to transform used tires into raw materials, which will be reintegrated into the production of new tires or the manufacture of new objects.

"For a tire, returning to its components means returning to its steel, its elastomers, its resins or its carbon black [...] and lastly, we will achieve our goal thanks to differentiated technologies that allow us to return to these components.

The tires of the future will be 100% sustainable, throughout their entire life cycle:

  • Design: tires composed of 100% bio-sourced or recycled materials by 2050 and 40% by 2030.
  • Manufacture: net zero CO₂ emission production plants by 2050.
  • Logistics: transporting less and better and developing alternative means of transport.
  • Use: low rolling resistance, long-term performance, lessening tire wear particles and connected tires.
  • End-of-life and recycling: making today’s waste into the resources of tomorrow for tires and beyond. Michelin and Bridgestone call for structure to be given to the segment.
