The European Union (EU) is set to introduce new regulations regarding tires, aimed at addressing pollution from microplastics, with the implementation of the Euro 7 standards effective in 2028. According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), the wear and tear of tires releases between 360,000 and 540,000 tons of microplastics into the environment each year, with passenger vehicles identified as the primary source of these emissions.
These new regulations are part of a broader effort to reduce microplastic pollution and its environmental impact. The EU's initiative seeks to enforce stricter standards on tire durability and composition to mitigate the release of harmful microplastics. The regulatory framework is positioned as a crucial step in enhancing environmental protection and sustainability within the automotive sector.
