Continental has recently become the very first tyre manufacturer to launch the extensive production of recycled polyester yarn from PET plastic bottles which will now be implemented as a high performance material to be used within selected sizes of their PremiumContact 6, EcoContact 6 Summer tyre and AllSeasonContact ranges.
This ground-breaking development entitled ContiRe.Tex completely replaces the use of conventional polyester in the tyre carcass and further enhances the company’s strict policy of only using high performance materials in the production of the company’s premium tyre ranges.
These ‘special’ ContiRe.Tex tyre patterns are being exclusively manufactured in Continental’s plant in Lousado, Portugal and present a special logo of ‘Contains Recycled Material on the sidewall.
