On 7 September 2026, Kal Tire announced that its Maple Programme carbon footprint methodology achieved independent ISO verification. This certification confirms that the repair and retreading solutions for mining tires align with established international standards.
Why it matters
Mining companies increasingly require reliable data to demonstrate the environmental impact of their operations. This independent verification provides customers with confidence that their carbon savings reports are both transparent and credible.
The verification confirms the methodology meets ISO 14067:2018 requirements and follows the ISO 14064-3:2019 standard. The process incorporates over 25 years of repair and retreading data for mining tires sized between 25 and 63 inches.

By utilizing verified carbon accounting, mining companies can more effectively report their progress toward sustainability goals to stakeholders and regulators. This shift may lead to broader industry adoption of retreading services as firms seek documented ways to reduce their operational carbon footprints.
