Pirelli Drives Certification Of Recycled Steel For Tire Manufacturing

Tire maker collaborates with rubber supplier Xingda to support and promote ISCC PLUS initiative

Pirelli has announced that it has actively supported and participated in the ISCC Plus pilot to add recycled steel to the ISCC Plus materials list, working alongside Xingda, a strategic supplier and manufacturer of rubber reinforcement materials.

As part of the initiative, Pirelli contributed to the development of technical requirements and sustainability guidelines, supporting Xingda and its upstream suppliers throughout the ISCC Plus certification process.The project represents a further step toward aligning the recycled steel supply chain for tire manufacturing with circular economy principles through independently verified certification standards.

ISCC called Pirelli “a pioneering tire manufacturer” in having promoted and taken part in the pilot project noting Pirelli is among the first tire makers to introduce ISCC Plus-certified recycled steel into tire production.

The ISCC-certified recycled steel will be used in tires produced in Pirelli plants through a controlled blending chain of custody approach, ensuring full traceability of the origin and characteristics of the raw materials used in the group’s products.
