Environmental Commitment

• By 2040, air travel passengers will double, more and more customers aspire to air travel.

• At the same time, the IATA (International Air Transport Association) has approved a resolution whereby the global air transport industry agrees to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

• As a result, the aeronautical industry is undergoing major mutation due to climate change: the need to reduce environmental impacts.

• At Michelin, we take into account the entire product life cycle when we design our tires.

• Michelin has assessed its environmental footprint diagnostic using a standard tool: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), from the extraction of the raw materials to the end-of-life treatment.

• Each stage of the life cycle is assessed according to 16 environmental impacts, the 4 most impactful of which are: climate change, photo chemical ozone, acidification, and resource use fossils.

Reducing the environmental footprint must be done by addressing all the life cycle stages together.

More than 95% of an aircraft tire's environmental footprint is made during the flight phase.

Michelin Aircraft Tire is firmly committed to contributing to improving the aviation industry’s environmental impact by answering to 2 major structural trends:

• The design and the mass: by designing lighter, longer-lasting tires more LPT (Landing Per Tread).

• The use phase: by developing services that make the most of tires.

Without sacrificing end-of-life collect and recycling phases.
