Technological innovation is becoming a popular trend in the consumer goods market, including paper, plastics, rubber, wood, and textiles. Companies in this sector are placing a high priority on the development of new technologies to maintain their market position. As an example, Bridgestone, a tire and rubber product company from Tokyo, partnered with Dow, a US-based material science innovator, in June 2022 to introduce B-SEALS. This is a silicone-based tire sealant technology that improves mobility and sustainability. With B-SEALS, the ability to repair a tire post-puncture is significantly improved as it effectively separates from tires. This innovative technology aligns with the Ecology, Extension, and Ease values of Bridgestone's E8 Commitment, promoting optimal recycling of end-of-life tires and extending tire lifespan.
