The European Union is now targeting rubber in manufacturing. Their bold strategy? Eliminate wheels to halt CO2 emissions entirely.
Originally set to ban carbon fiber, the EU reconsidered after realizing that cutting off the tire supply chain would immobilize cars, drastically curbing emissions.
- Emergency Vehicles: Allowed if wheels are crafted from a vegan hemp alternative.
- Deliveroo Bikes: Will also benefit from the same hemp innovation.
An EU insider shared, “We’re dedicated to achieving net zero, even if it means turning life upside down. With remote work widespread, only essential travelers are on roads, and we can transition them to alternatives easily. While some grumbled about previous car safety mandates, our current approach addresses those concerns in one decisive move.”
The EU’s bold strategy to ban rubber instead of carbon fiber aims to eliminate car emissions by immobilizing vehicles entirely. While causing widespread impact, exceptions for crucial services using sustainable materials highlight a commitment to environmental goals.
