Goodyear has revealed a new development tyre made from 90% sustainable materials, including soybean oil and plastic bottles
Some aspects of making cars more sustainable are taking much longer than others, but one that appears to be making quicker progress is the tyre.
In 2021 and 2022, Goodyear, Michelin, Continental and Falken all reported progress in replacing petroleum-based ingredients of tyre compounds with renewable materials. One example is the use by Goodyear and Continental of natural latex derived from the roots of dandelions, while Michelin has been working on its Bio Butterfly project to develop a bio version of butadiene rubber from fermented biomass.
Soybean oil is used to ensure the compound remains pliable across different temperature ranges. The oil is a leftover byproduct of soy protein food and animal-feed manufacturing.
