How are tyres sustainable?
Sustainable Natural Rubber for a Sustainable Future
The natural rubber industry has long been reliant on nature and local farmers working hard to produce enough rubber. However, with growing demand we increasingly encounter negative impacts such as illegal logging, unsustainable farming techniques and human rights challenges. To meet future demand ethically the industry must be more transparent and sustainable; vital to protect the environment and long term viability of livelihoods for so many people.
We are committed to evolving our natural rubber business with an approach that is fairer to all stakeholders and more sustainable for the natural environment, so that our natural rubber supply chain becomes a model of sustainability for the world. Our proprietary traceability system, for example, enables us to track and inspect our entire supply chain. Alongside this, our SDGs activities for a sustainable future will also bring added value to the supply chain which in turn will benefit our suppliers in various ways.
Our ambition is that all our stakeholders, customers and the whole of society benefit from a greener and more equitable natural rubber industry. As a player in the supply chain, we will continually develop and enhance more sustainable approaches for the natural rubber business.
Our Traceability System
We are partnering with stakeholders and developing our own traceability system to tackle issues in the rubber industry, such as illegal logging and rights violations against local communities and labourers. Our goal is to achieve the sustainable production and use of natural rubber.
Our traceability system built with blockchain technology is used in smartphone and Web-based applications, allowing buyers and sellers to conduct mutual authentication and to record transaction details including dates, times, geolocation data, etc. in the blockchain.This system ensures transparency of the natural rubber supply chain all the way to the processing plant. This system also pays incentives to businesses to record transactions, which encourages cooperation and allows us to work closely with NGOs and international industry organisations. Incentives are managed for small-scale farmers without bank accounts through a Joint Pool Account, which also provides a means to return farm tools and fertilizers.
Your tyre size can be found on the sidewall of your current tyre and is a sequence of numbers and letters. The most common tyre size in the UK is 205/55R16 but there are many variations so it’s important to check your existing tyre first before searching for tyres.
Tip: Take a photo of your existing tyre sidewall to make it easier to identify your tyre size using the guide below.
The first three digits. This displays the width of the tyre in millimetres. A tyre marked 225 will measure 225mm across the tread from sidewall to sidewall.
Aspect Ratio
The fourth and fifth digits of the tyre code that immediately follow the tyre width. The aspect ratio or profile height of the tyre sidewall is expressed as a percentage of the tyre width. So an aspect ratio of 55 for example means that the profile height of the tyre is 55% of its width.
Rim Diameter
The next two digits represent the size of the wheel rim that the tyre can be fitted to. It is also the diameter of the tyre from bead to bead. So a tyre marked 16 will fit on a 16-inch wheel rim.
Speed Rating
The speed rating of a tyre is represented by a letter of the alphabet at the end of the tyre size code and indicates the maximum speed capability of the tyre. Tyres receive a speed rating based on a series of tests which measure the tyres capability to handle a set speed for a prolonged period of time.
Select your tyre speed rating to find out the maximum speed your tyres can maintain.
If you are unsure what speed rating you need, be sure to check your vehicle handbook. Choosing a lower speed rating than that recommended by your vehicle manufacturer could potentially invalidate your insurance.
Load Rating
The load index provides information on the maximum weight capability for the tyre. The load index is a numerical code that can be located just after the tyre size marking and before the speed rating.
Select your load index to find out the maximum load capability for your tyres.
Although not illegal, it is not advisable to have tyres with a lower speed rating or load index than the manufacturer recommended tyre specification for your vehicle, or to have a combination of different tyre construction types. Consult your vehicle handbook to confirm your vehicle’s tyre speed rating and load index as well as any additional requirements.
