Comprehensive Carbon Neutrality Across Production

ATIRE’s entire premium range of solid tyres has been certified as carbon-neutral, a first in the industry. This comprehensive approach extends beyond the tyres themselves, encompassing their state-of-the-art production facility in Sri Lanka, which has achieved net-zero emissions. The certification of these tyres is backed by the Sri Lanka Climate Fund (SLCF) and adheres to the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard for Greenhouse Gas Emissions, ensuring that the company’s carbon-neutral claims are independently verified and meet international standards.

Scope 1 and 2 Emissions Reduction

ATIRE’s carbon neutrality spans both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, covering direct emissions from its operations and indirect emissions from the energy it consumes. By achieving net-zero emissions across these two levels, ATIRE has reduced its carbon footprint to a considerable extent, setting a new sustainability benchmark within the industrial tyre sector.

Sustainability Initiatives Driving Carbon Neutrality

ATIRE has adopted several innovative practices to achieve carbon neutrality, showcasing a strong dedication to environmental stewardship:

  • Solar Energy: ATIRE has maximised renewable energy use by installing solar panels over 85% of its roof space, significantly reducing dependency on non-renewable energy sources.
  • Biomass Fuel: The company has transitioned to 100% biomass-generated steam for its production processes, eliminating the need for fossil fuels.
  • Energy Efficiency: Advanced nano-technology has been implemented to reduce tyre curing energy consumption by over 15%, driving efficiency in the manufacturing process.
  • Waste Management: In a bid to minimise waste, ATIRE recycles over 80% of production waste, including factory rejects, which are repurposed into their in-house compound manufacturing unit.
  • Employee Transportation: To lower daily commute emissions, ATIRE provides a complimentary shuttle service, used by 90% of its workforce, reflecting its commitment to reducing emissions both within and outside its facilities.

Leading the Way in the Tyre Industry’s Green Transition

ATIRE’s carbon-neutral solid tyres not only represent a significant advancement in tyre manufacturing but also pave the way for other manufacturers to adopt sustainable practices. With industrial sectors worldwide facing pressure to cut emissions and combat climate change, ATIRE’s achievement serves as a model for the future of the industry.

As the first company to deliver a carbon-neutral solid tyre range, ATIRE is not only setting a new standard but also inspiring other manufacturers to consider their environmental impact and take action towards sustainability.
