Synthos – a chemical producer and a major player in the global synthetic rubber market – will be actively participating in the upcoming Tyre Emissions & Sustainability Europe 2024 conference.

The conference, scheduled for February 28-29 in Prague, addresses environmental challenges and aligns with the upcoming Euro 7 legislation in 2025, which imposes limits on tire wear to mitigate microplastics.

Synthos is a Gold Sponsor of the conference, underlining its commitment to supporting initiatives that promote positive change in the industry. Dr. Malte Wohlfahrt, R&D Director at Synthos, will present on "Sustainability and Performance in Tandem: Potential for Renewable and Recycled Materials." Additionally, he will participate in panel discussions alongside industry experts, exploring topics such as "What does 'sustainability' mean in the tire context?" and "Why is creating a circular economy for tires so challenging?"

The conference features participants from leading universities, associations, government agencies, and industry organizations, including Imperial College London, the Tire Industry Project, Tire Industry Research, the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers Association, the UK Department for Transport, Jaguar Land Rover, Audi, and others.
