Pirelli's all-natural (as opposed to synthetic) rubber tyres will be FSC-certified by 2026
Of all the individual components that make up a car, tyres are among the most complex when it comes to the blend of constituents needed to make them. Traditionally, their sustainability credentials have been questionable to say the least, not just in terms of what goes into them but also the impact they have on the environment in the sourcing of raw materials such as natural rubber. Pirelli has announced that all natural rubber and rayon in its tyres will be FSC certified by 2026.
This year it also used the certified natural rubber in its Formula 1 tyres from the first grand prix of the season, accounting for around 15% of the total weight of each tyre. More recently, it introduced them in the Pirelli P Zero Race RS and the total weight of each tyre consists of 23% certified natural rubber. Tyre makers are stepping up the work to reduce the environmental impact of their products, especially ingredients used to make them.
