Retread Friendly US Postal Service Gains White House Award

The Obama administration has honoured the US Postal Service for environmental stewardship with a ‘2009 Closing the Circle Award’ for its national Green Purchasing Program. Part of this programme, notes the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau, is the use of retreaded tyres.

Retreaded tyres, TRIB continues, play an important part in keeping vehicle maintenance costs down for the US Postal Service. And since tyres are the third highest cost of running any fleet, right after the cost of drivers and fuel, the savings offered by the use of retreads adds up to be very significant.

US and Italian Tyre Retreaders to Cooperate

The Associazione Italiana Ricostruttori Pneumatici (known to its friends as AIRP) and the Tire Retread and Repair Information Bureau (TRIB, to you) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate with each other for the mutual benefit of the retread and tyre repairing industries. The agreement extends to activities both within Italy and many other countries worldwide.

The memorandum sets out plans for the two organisations to exchange market and technical information; to assist visits of delegations; to collaborate on exhibitions and conferences; to waive publisher restrictions on each board’s research articles; and to strengthen the ties between the respective boards’ members. The agreement was signed on 21 May, 2009 in Bologna, Italy by AIRP president Stefano Carloni and TRIB MD Harvey Brodsky. “Having known our friends at AIRP for many years and having admired their ongoing dedication to improving our industry, we are very happy to join with them for our mutual benefit,” concluded the latter.

TRIB Marks Earth Day with Green Retreading Reminder

April 22 is Earth Day – and according to the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau, you could do a lot worse than celebrating the environmentally themed day with a set of retreads. TRIB comments that retreaded tyres are one of the most environmentally friendly of all recycled products, as they contain one of the highest post consumer contents because the actual tyre itself is being recycled.

The oil savings with retreads is also very significant, adds TRIB, as tyres are basically petrochemical products. It takes approximately 83 litres of oil to manufacture one average size truck tyre. Since most of that oil is found in the tyre casing, which is re-used in the retreading process, only about 26 litres of oil are needed to retread that same tyre. Thus a fleet using as few as 100 tyres a year can help save almost 5,700 litres of oil annually, notes TRIB.
