Environmental effects of manufacturing

 
Environmental impacts of tyre manufacturing include emissions to natural waters and sewage systems, emissions to the air (VOC, odour and dust), noise and waste. Waste and solvent emissions, as well as unpleasant odours in some locations, represent the most significant burden on the environment.

 

The environmental issues in the Nokia plant of Nokian Tyres remained almost unchanged during the
year 2008. The amount of vulcanized products produced by the factory reduced 2,051 ton (2.5%)
from the year 2007.
