Michelin – Anyone For Tennis?

Product News

There are reports that Michelin is about to launch an upmarket running shoe in conjunction with tennis equipment manufacturer Babolat. The footwear, the cost of which is reckoned to be between $65 and $120, will be made from the same rubber as Michelin tyres, so presumably should provide excellent grip, wet or dry.

Hofmann Opts For Zinc

Product News

Following the proposed phasing out of lead for use in wheel balancing weights, a number of alternative materials have been suggested, such as tin or steel. Dionys Hofmann, Europe’s largest weight manufacturer, has opted for a zinc alloy, saying that this is cheaper than tin and, unlike tin, melts at a far higher temperature than lead, enabling lead and zinc to be more easily separated in metallurgical plants.

Tyre Watch update

Product News

Early in April, the Environment Agency (EA) held a press briefing to discuss the latest developments in its Tyre Watch programme. But first some background on the scale of the problem; estimates for 2002 suggest that the UK produces 450,000 tonnes of waste tyres annually, of which 73 per cent are recovered or recycled. 70,000 tonnes are currently landfilled, with a further 30,000 tonnes used in landfill engineering. When the EU ban on tyres to landfill comes into force, alternative avenues of disposal will have to be found for this 70,000 tonnes.

Used Tyres – Doing Seabirds A Good Tern

Product News

Used tyres are being put to good use by the Scottish Wildlife Trust on Long Craig Island to protect a colony of terns from attack by predatory birds. The tyres are filled with gravel and positioned on an unused pier, acting as shelters for the colony of common terns. When threatened, the chicks slide down the gravel and hide in the inner tyre rims. 20 tyres are being used in the initial experiment, with ample scope to extend the ternery if it proves a success.
