(1) Over 473,000 casings studied between 2015 and 2018. Data collected in the United Kingdom by TRS, an independent British collector of casings - calculation of the acceptance rate for retreading, by casing brand, for a first retreading. Calculation performed by Michelin on the basis of these elements, and from the number of casings at the end of their first life considered as acceptable for retreading, by brand, divided by the number of casings at the end of their first life.
(2) The CO2 saving associated with the retreading operation is calculated from the associated material saving. In terms of material saving, a MICHELIN Remix retreaded tyre covers up to 100% of the mileage of a new MICHELIN tyre (the tread mix and tread pattern of MICHELIN Remix tyres are largely the same as those for new Michelin tyres; 90% of tyres in the MICHELIN Remix range are made from the same mould and the same materials as new Michelin tyres and therefore perform equally as well; according to internal tests conducted by the Michelin Research and Technology centre and customer testimonials collected in Europe since 2015). A new tyre weighs 70 kg on average. A new tyre ready to be retreaded weighs 50 kg on average. The CO2 impact of a retreaded tyre is linked to the material saving, or 115 kg of CO2 representing 50 kg of raw material savings, at a rate of 2.3 kg of CO2 * per kg of raw materials. * Equivalence between CO2 and a litre of fuel or kilogram of raw material is calculated in this way: The emissions factor of 3.24 kg of CO2 for 1 litre of diesel comes from the life cycle assessment conducted by ADEME for pure diesel. It includes emissions during the diesel production stages (17%) and during its combustion (83%). Source: ADEME, Study “Well to wheel - JEC”, v4, july 2014. The emissions factor of 2.3 kg of CO2 for 1 kg of tyre comes from the life cycle assessment calculations for production of a tyre cradle to gate), conducted internally by Michelin using the calculation rules developed by the tyre manufacturing profession (TIP). It includes stages including extraction of raw materials, transportation, manufacturing, and distribution.
