Air emissions and noise

Volatile organic compounds increase lower atmospheric ozone, and for that reason the EU has set targets to decrease solvent emissions. Nokian Tyres has not been able to achieve the industry-specific emission limit value outlined in the VOC directive in 2011.

Nokian Heavy Tyres aim is to develop its activities, production processes and products in such a manner that the solvent emission limits set forth in environmental legislation can be achieved.

All solvent fumes from the retreading material production are diverted to a catalytic combustion plant.
