The share of renewable and recycled materials in Continental’s tire production averaged 26% in 2024, a figure that the tire manufacturer aims to increase by 2-3% in 2025. By 2030, Continental’s target is to use over 40% of renewable and recycled materials.
As carbon black and silica make up a large proportion of the raw materials in tire production, Conti aims to increase the sustainability of these fillers to help hit its materials target.
Silica: Rice husks
Continental is increasingly using silica variants across its whole tire portfolio in order to reduce resource consumption while still meeting required safety, efficiency and rolling resistance requirements.
