What happens when something essential to tire safety and durability becomes critical to replace? How does the industry respond for both the long and near terms? How do you balance safety and the environment?
Those are some of the questions the tire industry is grappling with as it works to understand and solve the 6ppd conundrum.
And we're asking them, too.
During a free one-hour Rubber News Live event, representatives from the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association and California Department of Toxic Substances will join Rubber News Managing Editor Erin Pustay Beaven and Reporter Andrew Schunk. They'll break down the issue and talk about what could be ahead for the industry overall, including short-term mitigation efforts that could help bridge the gap between 6ppd and its alternative.
The livestream, sponsored by Endurica, is set for 2 p.m. Sept. 14. Registration is free and those who have registered will be able to access the program on-demand after it airs.
