Giti Tire has developed a prototype tire with 93% sustainable material composition. The concept uses bio-based polymer technology, advanced recycling processes, compound formulations and next-generation manufacturing techniques.
Sustainable materials
The company replaced petroleum-based ingredients with nature-derived alternatives such as sustainable natural rubber, pine resin, rice husk silica and plant-based antioxidants. These renewable alternatives make up 53% of the prototype.
Deforestation-free natural rubber sourced from rubber farms whose legality, social responsibility and environmental responsibility are traceable was used in the tire’s sidewall and inner structure. Pine tree resin, a natural alternative to petroleum resin, has been blended into the tread compound to boost grip.
