Brazil studying proposals for new tyre regulation

Brazil’s government has carried out a public consultation to determine regulations for tyres sold in the country in preparation for legislations towards greener tyres. Chemicals manufacturer Lanxess reports that the consultation was performed last month and the government is now analysing the suggestions it received; these will be published before the end of the year.

The Brazilian government aims that every tyre manufactured, imported or sold in Brazil will be certified by 2015 or 2016.
