It is a mammoth undertaking: Most nations want to become climate-neutral by 2050 – and with them the companies in the chemical industry. Because on the one hand it produces energy-intensively, and on the other it cannot do without carbon, the chemical industry is having a particularly hard time decarbonizing. But this only spurs the industry's researchers and engineers on even more.

Under an agreement signed between Bridgestone, BB&G and Eni, all the parties will come together to establish a closed-loop ecosystem which will aim at transforming end-of-life tyres into new tyres.
