Report Title: Sustainability in the Tire Industry 2016 Length: Over 75,000 words (190 pages) / 200 charts & diagrams Price: Corporate licence: GBP 5000 Publisher: Tire Industry Research Find out more: http://SustainableTires.com Tire Industry Research RESEARCH Sustainability Sustainability in the Tire Industry 2016 is a full-scale in the tire industry market research report. It is the second edition of a report first published in 2014, and expanded to include 2016 chapters on tire recycling and sustainability criteria. Keeping the world’s tire industry informed: The report covers every aspect of sustainability, in the News Opinion tire industry, including green tires, labelling, NR risks Comment and key upstream driver. Analysis Market research More than that, it acts as a manual for how the tire Forecasting industry really works. Readers from the 2014 edition told us they liked the way the report offers insights into how the key players work and the background to deci- sions made in the tire industry. With support from Versalis Green The report analyses the ‘sustainable’ status of natural ‘X’ rubber and gives deep insights into the future of alter- native crops such as guayule and TKS.
