Last week Goodyear presented the first in the world concept tires with the use of BioIsoprene technology at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
The use of bioisoprene in the production of artificial rubber allows to replace regular isoprene made from oil products with isoprene made from renewable biomass. On December 21 one of the two new Goodyear tires will be exhibited in one of the terminals of the International Airport Of Copenhagen, the other will be presented during special events held within the framework of the UN Conference. Tires with the use of bioisoprene are the result of cooperation between Genencor, division of the Danisco company, and Goodyear, one of the major tire manufacturers and leader of innovations.
“We achieved a very important stage in our cooperation with Goodyear on the development of innovative biochemical materials, said Tom Knutzen, executive director of Danisco. – Invention of bioisoprene once again proves the leading role of Danisco and its division Genencor in the industry of biotechnologies”.
“The first Goodyear concept tires with the use of bioisoprene is a proof of our progress in the use of biological analogue of the conventional isoprene made from oil, - noted Jesse Roeck, the head of Goodyear materials research department. – The creation of bioisoprene and the use of renewable raw materials will allow to reduce the negative influence of the production of the tires on the environment as well as diminish the dependence of Goodyear on the production of oil products”.
Creation of bioisoprene that can be made on the base of renewable resources is a great step up both for biochemical and tire industry. Conventional isoprene is used not only for the production of artificial rubber in the tire industry but also for the production of a whole range of goods from surgical gloves and golf balls to glue materials what means a great potential of the isoprene production.
