Résumé

New nanomaterials offer promising avenues for future innovation, which can contribute towards the sustainability and resource efficiency of the tyre industry. Yet uncertainty over environmental health and safety (EHS) risks appears to be a main and continuous concern for the development of new nanomaterials in tyre production, even for those closest to market. Lack of sector-specific guidance represents a major gap. This report provides insights into the policy issues related to nanotechnology use in the tyre industry : the status of nanotechnology innovation in the sector and the drivers of innovation in the tyre industry ; the economic and social costs and benefits of using nanotechnology in tyres ; the safe use of new nanomaterials at all stages of their life cycles ; the identification of the tools and frameworks supporting decision making at various stages of product development ; and the facilitation of outreach and knowledge transfer on the safe use of new nanomaterials. A risk management framework has also been developed as part of the study to enable site-specific or company-specific risk assessments or risk management strategies for using nanomaterials as additives in tyres.
