Advancing with Bio-based and Recycled materials
Bio-Based
Materials that have biological origins, to replace fossil and mineral-based materials.
Recycled
Materials derived from the conversion of waste, to avoid the use of virgin materials.
Our non-fossil origin materials
Natural Rubber
Learn about FSC™ certification
Natural Rubber is the original and essential element of tyre production, ensuring UNPARALLELED TEAR RESISTANCE.
In our roadmap on responsible procurement of Natural Rubber, we have proudly developed the world’s first ever tyres containing FSC™-certified Natural Rubber.
Rayon
Rayon cellulose is an elemental part of the tyre carcass. Collected from forests and hardwood plantations, it provides HIGH TENACITY and STABILITY.
Lignin
PATENTED
Lignin is a huge waste product of the pulp and paper industry. Pirelli developed technologies to exploit its key properties leading to:
INCREASED DURABILITY
guaranteed higher mileage.
REDUCED ROLLING RESISTANCE
guaranteed higher autonomy.
Bio and Circular Polymers
Learn about ISCC+ certification
When it comes to synthetic rubber, our approach is challenging:
GUARANTEEING EQUAL PERFORMANCE while AVOIDING THE DEPLETION OF VIRGIN MATERIALS. We achieve this by progressively replacing fossil-sourced polymers with ISCC+ Certified Bio and Circular Polymers.
Bio Resins and Veg Oils
Bio Resins and Veg Oils are plasticizers deriving from vegetal biomass, such as plant seeds, trees and forests.
Bio Resins are highly versatile, providing a BETTER BALANCE OF DRY AND WET PERFORMANCE.
Vegetable Oils have very low glass transition temperature allowing BETTER WINTER PERFORMANCE.
Recovered Carbon Black
Recovered Carbon Black derives FROM DIRECT PYROLYSIS OF END-OF-LIFE TYRES.
Pirelli was the first tyre maker to introduce Recovered Carbon Black in normal production as a semi reinforced filler able to replicate virgin Carbon Black.
Rice Husk Ash Silica
Rice Husk is an industrial waste from rice cultivation, not suitable for human nor animal feeding. Its ASH IS RE-PURPOSED and TRANSFORMED INTO SILICA to replace mineral sand silica.
Conscious raw material purchasing

Our commitment to reaching a whole new level
Decarbornization Roadmap
How we are tackling decarbonisation¹:
- At 2025 we have reduced own CO₂ emission by 63% (vs 2018), planning to reach the overall Net Zero target² by 2040 (90% CO₂ emission reduction vs 2018).
- We are using only renewable electricity³ in our plants in Europe, Asia and North and South America, reaching 100% Worldwide by 2025⁴.
- More than 90 energy efficiency projects on-going⁵.
