India’s tyre industry is accelerating rapidly, fueled by the country’s expanding mobility needs and growing infrastructure. With rising demand comes growing environmental responsibility, and the sector has made ambitious commitments ranging from carbon neutrality targets to increasing the use of sustainable raw materials.
Yet, the journey from bold goals to on-ground impact is far from straightforward. Tyre manufacturing remains resource-intensive, with significant carbon emissions, high water usage, and the persistent challenge of managing end-of-life tyres (ELTs). As environmental regulations tighten and stakeholder expectations rise, the need for integrated, scalable sustainability solutions has never been more urgent.
This is where Integrated Sustainability Solutions (ISS) by Re Sustainability Limited plays a critical role offering a comprehensive approach that supports the tyre industry across its entire value chain, from manufacturing to waste management and compliance.
Integrated Solutions to Accelerate Sustainability
ISS delivers a suite of tailor-made interventions to help tyre manufacturers overcome these challenges and transition towards circularity.
- Waste Audits
In-depth assessments to map all waste streams, evaluate their environmental footprint, and identify opportunities for reduction, segregation, and compliant disposal.
- ELT Recovery and Recycling
A robust collection and recycling system that enables the diversion of ELTs from landfills:
- 45–50% recovered as fuel oil
- 30–35% recovered as carbon black
- Remaining materials repurposed into steel and reusable components
- Water Neutrality Projects
Customized strategies for water conservation and reuse that can cut consumption by up to 30%, translating into savings of over 500 million liters annually across major manufacturing sites.
- Emission Reduction
Integration of tire-derived fuels (TDF) and renewable energy sources to bring down Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions while reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
- Circular Infrastructure Development
Deployment of recycling and resource recovery facilities on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model, leveraging India’s largest integrated network for ELTs, plastics, batteries, and other industrial materials.
EPR Compliance and Reporting
End-to-end support in fulfilling Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations from registration to credit generation and automated compliance reporting backed by full traceability and transparency.
Green Credit Generation
Facilitation of verified green credits for recycling and emission reduction efforts, contributing to both financial returns and measurable climate impact.
Digital Efficiency
Smart process control systems for curing and temperature management enhance energy efficiency, reduce rework, and improve output quality, all while cutting operational costs.
Clean Power from Waste
Utilization of syngas derived from tyre and industrial waste to generate steam for high-pressure manufacturing stages, promoting circularity in energy use.
Enabling the Tyre Industry’s Sustainable Transition
The tyre industry is at a critical inflection point. As demand scales and regulations evolve, sustainability is no longer a peripheral concern; it is a core operational imperative. Integrated Sustainability Solutions by Re Sustainability, alongside its specialized arm netZERO Services, offers a complete ecosystem of services that integrate sustainability into every aspect of the tyre value chain.
