Bridgestone Roma Plant becomes first to earn circular economy certification

International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS certification recognises use of Bio-Circular and Circular-based materials

Bridgestone’s plant in Rome, Italy has become its tyre manufacturing hub to achieve the coveted and globally recognised International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS certification thanks to its use of Bio-Circular and Circular-based materials.

The certification was soon followed by a second for Bridgestone’s Aiken County Passenger/Light Truck Radial tyre plant in the US, added the firm in a statement.

ISCC PLUS aims to support the transition to a circular economy and bioeconomy by encouraging the implementation of environmentally, socially and economically sustainable production.

Successful certification requires compliance with and transparency around sustainability and traceability of raw materials including bio, bio-circular and circular-based material in the manufacturing process.

The certification evaluates all the sustainable raw materials in the value chain to determine and verify compliance with environmental requirements, and, according to Bridgestone, marks a step towards its “ambitious target” of using of 40% sustainable materials by 2030, and 100% sustainable materials by 2050.

The plant close to the Italian capital became the first tyre manufacturing facility of Bridgestone to achieve ISCC PLUS certification at the beginning of September thanks to its use of Bio-Circular and Circular-based materials. Bridgestone EMIA will be expanding the assessment programme across further plants in Europe from 2023.

“We are on a journey to 2050 and the delivery, by then, of our major environmental goals; carbon neutrality and the use of 100% sustainable materials,” explained Emilio Tiberio, CTO, Bridgestone EMIA.

“This ISCC PLUS certification for Roma is a step along the way to become a leading sustainable solutions company and reflects our hard work and dedication to overcome the technological and market challenges to fully sustainable and renewable tyres.”
