environmental benefits of  Retreading​

Tire retreading is one of the most environmentally-friendly industries in the world and our sustainability benefits are hard to beat.

​

Consider these points:

 

• Retreading conserves oil. The synthetic rubber components in a new medium truck tire require approximately 22 gallons of oil, but it takes only 7 gallons to retread the same tire. 

​

• Nearly 300 million tires from cars and trucks are thrown away by Americans each year, but the use of retreads keeps millions of tires out of landfill.

​

• Retreading has positive impacts on all areas of the environment, including reducing:

  • CO2 emissions

  • Natural resource extraction

  • Water consumption

  • Air pollution

  • Land use
