31 transport companies have received the Sustainable Tire Management Certificate signed by Michelin Italy. The Italian division of the multinational leader in the production of tires wanted to reward those companies that have proven to be more efficient in terms of CO2 and raw materials saved: to understand what the actual savings of these two elements were, Michelin relied on a mathematical formula that took into account two key factors, such as the regrooving and retreading rate.
In this sense, Michelin Italia has announced that the Certificate for the Sustainable Management of Tires has been awarded to 31 companies which have reached the reference threshold value and which have saved a total of 5,058 tons of CO2, or the equivalent of 18 journeys of a truck from the earth to the moon or the annual emissions of a fleet of 115 trucks, and 1,854 tons of raw materials, the amount of resources needed to produce 26,428 tires. “Michelin’s commitment to sustainability, the growing awareness of how important it is to protect the environment on the part of road transport operators and the desire to make the results of Michelin’s activity tangible have been answered in the Certificate of Sustainable management of tires – said Silvia Vergani, Business2business Marketing Director of Michelin Italia – The award is intended for fleets that share the will to create more sustainable mobility also in the transport of goods through optimal tire management “.
The multinational itself recalled that in Europe four out of five companies in the road freight transport sector they declare themselves oriented towards environmental protection actions: in this context of greater attention by the entire supply chain, the certificate assigned by Michelin concretely enhances the actions taken to save resources and materials, favoring their reuse. “The initiative conceived by Michelin Italia is in perfect continuity with the ‘All Sustainable Strategy’ of the Michelin Group which aims to halve CO2 emissions by 2030, cancel them altogether in 2050and implement economic, social and productive development that respects the planet and people “Michelin writes in an official note.
