TreadWright Tires has received Business Intelligence Group’s BIG Award for Business: 2016 Green Company of the Year.
The company was recognized for its efforts in providing durable, sustainable, remanufactured tires, minimizing the environmental impact of the millions of tires and tire compounds thrown out each year in the United States, TreadWright said.
“Sustainability has always been a key element to TreadWright’s business strategy,” said Anthony Showen, CEO of TreadWright. “Our customers range from hard working farmers and ranchers to outdoor and adventure enthusiasts – and the one thing we all share is an appreciation for the beautiful land this country has to offer. TreadWright is playing our part to help preserve our environment, and we are honored to receive this award from Business Intelligence Group.”
TreadWright tires are manufactured with 70% recycled content. Each TreadWright tire uses approximately 6 gallons of oil compared to 18 gallons for a new tire – 65% less oil than standard tires as well as less energy used in the overall manufacturing process, the tiremaker said.
