JK Tyre develops PCR tyre with 80% recycled and renewable material

Indian tyre major JK Tyre & Industries has developed an all-new sustainable tyre, which will deliver performance comparable to that of a standard radial tyre while registering a lower carbon footprint. The “Ux Green” tyre was tested extensively indoors and outdoors on roads as well as on test tracks to validate the performance.

Dr. Raghupati Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director, JK Tyre said that the tyre had been fully designed and developed using 80 percent sustainable materials and this was a step towards being carbon neutral by 2050, adding that the range of such tyres would be offered in due course.

The tyre is developed with highly sustainable materials like natural rubber, bio-attributed SBR and BR, bio-based oil, recycled rubber powder, recovered carbonaceous black, recycled polyester and steel wire.
