🔗 We’re setting new standards for the premium tire segment with our breakthrough in tire cord innovation! 🌍 🌟 Mega Tensile Technology (MT) delivers exceptional performance, pushing the boundaries of dematerialization and redefining what's possible in high-end tire reinforcement. By reducing steel weight by up to 20% and compound weight by up to 10%, MT makes reinforcement lighter, more robust and stronger —without compromising on strength. 🌱 The result? Lower CO₂ emissions through reduced rolling resistance and weight; primarily impacting Scope 3 during the tire use phase. Alongside our High Recycled Content portfolio, MT provides a cutting-edge alternative for sustainability-conscious businesses. This marks yet another milestone in our mission to deliver premium, high-performance solutions that not only enhance product quality but also drive sustainability and circularity across the tire industry. 🔋 #Sustainability #Circularity #CreatingABetterTomorrow #TireReinforcement #RecycledContent #CircularEconomy
