Lower burden through life-cycle thinking
It is easy to see the tyre manufacture process as a chain of events resulting in a high-quality product made from tested raw materials and components. We deploy a comprehensive mindset in all of our activities, which is why we also want to develop our production process with environmental values in mind.Nokian Tyres is known as the industry’s pioneer in environmental issues. Environmental issues are taken into consideration in the long term, with regard to the tyre’s entire life cycle. As for production, this means such measures as using only purified oils and utilising raw materials as efficiently as possible. Furthermore, the production noise does not harm the surrounding areas, and no toxic chemicals are used in the manufacture processes.
Respect for the environment is part of our product development philosophy.
We aim to pay increasing attention to environmental issues in the design of new products, starting from ethical raw material acquisition all the way to a well-functioning recycling system.
Nokian Tyres is the world’s first tyre manufacturer to have fully eliminated high-aromatic (HA) oils in its production in 2005. Read more >>
