<\/p>\nBridgestone will be supporting the 2025 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC) with Enliten technology tyres, which feature the first application of new recycled materials developed through co-creation with partners, increasing the ratio of recycled and renewable materials to over 65 per cent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The company will supply these tyres to 33 teams from 17 locations. The BWSC, which will take place from 24th-31st August, is the world\u2019s foremost solar car event. Held every two years, participants are challenged with traversing approximately 3,000km across the Australian continent using only limited solar power.<\/p>\n
Bridgestone has been the title sponsor of BWSC since 2013; this event underscores Bridgestone\u2019s focus on accelerating innovation for next generation mobility, including electric vehicles, as well as developing the engineers who will shape the future of mobility.<\/p>\n
For the 2025 BWSC, Bridgestone will supply tyres with Enliten technology, which ensures the performance required for solar cars while further advancing sustainability. For the first time, Bridgestone has applied recovered carbon black and steel, which are recycled materials developed and produced through co-creation efforts focused on advancing recycling technology that ‘renews’ tyres to raw materials.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the company says it is evolving its sustainability initiatives throughout the value chain, such as reducing the number of tyres used and introducing low-carbon tyre shipment for contributing to a circular economy and carbon neutrality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
