Michelin to further enhance tyre reinforcement in manufacturing

Michelin’s headquarters in France
Michelin has entered into a three-way partnership with Carbios and Indorama Ventures in France that will see Carbios supply recycled monomers to be transformed into filaments by Indorama Ventures, a world leading specialist in polyester production which will be implemented into tyre reinforcement manufacturing procedures by Michelin.
This new commercial agreement underlines a new emerging interest in industrial fabrics for high quality r-PET derived from enzymatic recycling.
This partnership represents a tangible expression of our commitment to turning complex waste into high-performance materials. By integrating enzymatically recycled r-PET into our tyres. Marking a new milestone for Michelin on our journey toward achieving 100% renewable and recycled materials by 2050. Whilst staying within planetary boundaries by combining innovation, industrial excellence, and close collaboration with trusted partners that we are building a strong and lasting circular model.
