Continental is prioritizing the use of renewable and recycled materials in its tire production, and is using innovative alternatives, such as cooking oil, to realize its targets.
While the share of renewable and recycled materials used by Continental averaged 26% in 2024, the tire manufacturer is aiming to increase this by 2-3% by the end of the year and expects to reach “at least 40%” by 2030, with an increased focus on rubber and resins from a range of sustainable sources.
“We’re closing the loop: Continental is ramping up its commitment to a circular economy and mapping out its path for the future,” said Jorge Almeida, head of Sustainability at Continental Tires.
