Growing natural calamities as a consequence of global warming are one of the most pondering subjects today. The exponential growth of environmental pollution due to unscientific human exploitation of natural resources is considered the prime reason for the harsh responses of nature. Researchers from various fields of industry and academia are working hard to develop and implement products/technologies that are environmentally friendly or less harmful to the ecosystem. Material researchers, specifically those working in the automobile sector are also not behind in search of green products from eco-friendly raw materials and production methods. The automobile industry is collectively responsible for around 40% of global pollution in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Out of which around 20-30% is originating from tyre production and its end-use. In this view, tyre production from eco-friendly raw materials and technologies that have minimum hazardousness to the environment is a hot research topic today. A few products in the market with "green" tags and many are in the pipeline for the recent future. This review summarises a detailed discussion of the emerging green technologies for tyre production and depicted comprehensive data from the available literature. The paper has been drafted from a well-balanced academic and industrial point of view since the researchers from both sectors are working in harmony for a better future for green tyre technology.
全球变暖导致自然灾害不断增加，这是当今最引人深思的话题之一。由于人类对自然资源的不科学开发，环境污染呈指数级增长，这被认为是大自然作出严厉反应的主要原因。来自工业和学术界各个领域的研究人员正在努力开发和应用对环境友好或对生态系统危害较小的产品/技术。材料研究人员，特别是那些在汽车行业工作的人员，在从环保原材料和生产方法中寻找绿色产品方面也不落后。就温室气体排放而言，汽车行业总共造成了全球约40%的污染。其中约20%-30%来自轮胎生产及其最终使用。有鉴于此，采用对环境危害最小的环保原材料和技术生产轮胎是当今一个热门的研究课题。市场上有一些带有“绿色”标签的产品，近期还有许多产品正在筹备中。这篇综述总结了对新兴轮胎生产绿色技术的详细讨论，并展示了现有文献中的全面数据。这篇论文从学术和工业的平衡角度撰写，因为来自这两个领域的研究人员正在和谐合作，为绿色轮胎技术的美好未来而努力。
