A Greener Way to Travel

Green Arc Tire Manufacturing Inc. has a recycled tire production plant in the works, and it’s en route to being the largest recycled production plant in North America. The company will feature green winter tires with improved traction and fuel efficiency at lower prices, according to Mike DiCenzo, COO of Green Arch. The manufacturing process remolds used tires, effectively utilizing 80% of the originals. DiCenzo went on to state that he is associated with distributors in 90 countries worldwide.

Will the “green tire” trend catch?

Nowadays, it appears that everyone is searching for more economical options. A new set of winter tires usually costs around $500-$1000 depending on the car, which can be quite expensive. The promotion of winter tires can be difficult due to associated costs. Less expensive tires will likely result in safer roads for everyone. The ‘green factor’ is a bonus – it reflects positively on the company, as sustainability a pertinent issue. It appears that Green Arch is paving the way, developing a product that will satisfy beyond the threshold of environmentalists.
