A CRIA delegation is scheduled to visit Europe in September to build an effective communication platform for Chinese tyre makers to understand the regulatory framework of tyre labelling in Europe and how it could be suitably implemented. On its part Lanxess will participate in the drafting process of the “Raw Material Guide for Green Tire Industrialisation” document and take part in CRIA-led meetings and exchanges.

Martin Kraemer, CEO of Lanxess Greater China, said: “Lanxess believes in using its international experience, innovative technologies and principles of sustainable development to help meet the most serious challenges affecting green mobility in China. We believe that through this cooperation, we can learn from each other and contribute to the development of the tyre industry in China.”
