Conventional Technology

Previous Tires

Conventional tires pose a major challenge due to their use of additives containing harmful substances and the significant CO₂ emissions generated during their manufacturing and incineration processes.

High CO₂ emissions

It is noted that the process from manufacturing to disposal emits large amounts of CO₂, posing a significant burden on climate change.

Use of Hazardous Substances

Conventional tires contain hazardous substances such as additives and carbon black, raising concerns about their impact on the environment and human health.

Tire dust as a new environmental issue

The environmental impact of Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP) is an emerging area of concern.

are also reported to originate from tire dust.

0 materials

make up a tire

some of which contain toxic substances.

Solution

We aim to solve this problem by switching to natural materials for tire production.

Through biotechnology

Environmentally conscious tires

We are developing next-generation tires that utilize recycled resources without harmful substances and minimize CO₂ emissions from manufacturing to disposal.

Shift to Natural Materials

We aim to create tires that utilize recycled resources and avoid the use of harmful substances.

Low carbon emissions

Reduce CO₂ emissions through energy-efficient manufacturing and recycling.

Our technological innovation has only just begun.

The world's most advanced R&D themes are being pursued simultaneously.

Eco-Friendly Tires

Our mission is to drive innovation in tire development through sustainable materials.

The Century of Bio Begins

Research into biomass materials has flourished over the past 15 years or so, but I believe the real game is still ahead of us.

Whereas the 20th century was the century of petroleum, I believe the 21st century will be the century of bio-based materials.

This is a new technological field that will grow over the next 20 to 30 years.

Tire additives we want to reduce usage

The diverse additives that support tire performance contribute to safety and durability, but they also contain substances that are carcinogenic and cause environmental pollution.

  • 6-PPD Anti-Aging Agent

    It is used as an antioxidant, but its decomposition products have been reported to exhibit strong toxicity to aquatic organisms.

  • Carbon Black Reinforcement Material

    There are concerns about carcinogenicity, and when dispersed as fine dust, it can cause health hazards such as respiratory damage.

  • RFL Adhesive

    Resorcinol has concerns regarding skin irritation and carcinogenicity, and its use in RFL adhesives raises issues regarding environmental toxicity.

  • TBBS Vulcanization Accelerator

    Heating or chemical reactions can produce nitrosamines, which have been identified as a carcinogenic risk.

  • Aromatic oil plasticizer

    Containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, it has been internationally recognized as posing risks to environmental pollution and human health.
