Goodyear has just teased a new tire compound at CES 2023 that contains 90 percent sustainable materials, including bio-based carbon black, soybean oil, and pine tree resins.

 

Silica for improved grip is sourced from rice husk waste, while ISCC-certified mass balance polymers are sourced from bio- and bio-circular feedstock.

The steel cords inside the tire contain highly recycled materials and are also produced using the electric arc furnace process. This is a more efficient and cleaner method of steel production than a blast furnace, which helps cut back on greenhouse gas emissions. 

Goodyear says the new compound meets the requirements set forth by regulators, as well as their own internal testing procedures. Better yet, the new compound features a lower rolling resistance than traditional offerings,
