In order to better understand the environmental impact of tires, TIP has invested in the development of a Product Category Rules (PCR) document, an industry-specific guideline that manufacturers follow in determining product environmental impacts for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
TIP developed a first-of-its-kind PCR that is technically comprehensive, global in scope, and enables consistency of evaluation. By doing so, TIP is taking proactive steps to support the creation of EPDs for tires, a tool that will allow the industry to improve environmental transparency and better assess ways to improve its environmental footprint.
