According to a recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the use of new nanomaterials in tyre production could help foster the sustainability of the tyre industry and reduce the environmental impact of vehicles, if the potential environmental, health and safety risks of the technology are managed carefully. WBCSD welcomes the OECD report entitled Nanotechnology and Tyres: Greening Industry and Transport, which highlights the potential of new nanomaterials whilst analyzing the challenges for their safe and sustainable introduction in the tyre industry. The report was originally proposed to OECD and supported by the Business and Industry Advisor Committee to the OECD (BIAC) through the Tire Industry Project (TIP) of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
