Bridgestone Americas has debuted a demonstration commercial tire featuring 70% recycled and renewable materials.
The tire, which features 37% renewable and 33% recycled material, is the first commercially available tire to reach this level of sustainable materials, and is the company’s first waste-specific tire to earn International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS certification, a globally recognized system that supports the transition to a circular economy and bioeconomy.
The tire debuted at the WasteExpo event in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bridgestone also presented its new Drive-Over System for fleets.

The 70% recycled and renewable demonstration tire is based on the Bridgestone M870, a high-scrub, all-position radial waste and recycling tire specifically designed for urban waste collection fleets.
