Sustainable Tyre Management Certificate

Share:

G. van der Heijden & Zonen BV Transport Company, on the recommendation of Michelin Nederland NV, is strongly committed to the Michelin’s Multi-life tyre policy, which maximises retreading and renewal of truck tyres.

These operations, when carried out by a professional to Michelin’s specifications, conserve natural resources and contribute to sustainable transport.
Based on internal evaluations by Michelin on the tyre policy of the G. van der Heijden & Zonen BV Transport Company in the year 2022, it is estimated that this multi-life tyre policy has resulted in maximum savings of:

3.72 tonnes CO2*
1.32 tonnes Raw materials*

Internal estimate based on the number of retreaded tyres fitted by the company, by 2022, and the average number of retreaded tyres and the CO2 and raw material savings
resulting from their use. The exact result depends on various factors, including the kind of fuel, the type of vehicle and the distance travelled.
