Sustainability & Tire Manufacturing
USTMA member companies are committed to sustainable manufacturing practices in every aspect of their businesses through three key pillars: economic impact, environmental stewardship and tire and workplace safety.
Environmental Impact
USTMA members demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship throughout a tire’s life cycle and seek out opportunities for continuous improvement.
Economic Impact
The tire manufacturing industry brings jobs and investment to the U.S. economy and supports more than 250,000 U.S. jobs totaling almost $20 billion in wages across our supply chain.
Tire Care & Safety
Tire manufacturers are always in pursuit of excellence by inventing new ways to design and engineer tires. That's why tires today are much safer and better performing than the tires of just a couple decades ago.
