Atire (Pvt) Ltd. recently announced a global first: The launch of its certified carbon-neutral solid tire range.

This achievement positions Atire as the world’s first company to offer carbon-neutral industrial tires, reflecting a significant leap forward in sustainable manufacturing.

The certification, issued by Control Union under rigorous ISO standards, applies to Atire’s premium range of solid tires, including products for forklifts, telehandlers, skid-steer loaders, scissor lifts, and port applications.

These tires are not just durable and high-performing; they are also carbon-neutral, covering emissions from raw materials, manufacturing processes, and the product’s journey up to the factory gate.

Atire’s journey toward carbon neutrality began in November of last year when it was certified as a carbon-neutral organisation by the Sri Lanka Climate Fund. Key initiatives include using renewable energy, advanced nanotechnology for lower energy consumption, and 100% biomass-generated steam to eliminate fossil fuel reliance.

Atire General Manager Ajith Dharmasiri said: “At Atire, our dedication to fighting climate change extends throughout the entire organisation. From our factory teams to executive leadership, we are united in our mission to reduce emissions and drive meaningful environmental change.”
