Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group has achieved independent ISO verification for the carbon footprint methodology behind its KalPRO Maple Program. The verification provides customers with greater confidence that the carbon savings reported through the Maple Program are credible, transparent, and based on recognized greenhouse gas accounting principles.
The program calculates the environmental benefits associated with choosing tire life extension solutions such as repairs and retreading, instead of purchasing new tires.
The Maple Program receives its ISO Verification
SCS Global Services, an international leader in environmental and sustainability verification, completed the third-party review. The Maple Program methodology was evaluated against the requirements of ISO 14067:2018, the international standard for product carbon footprints, with the independent verification conducted in accordance with ISO 14064-3:2019.
Introduced in 2019, the Maple Program provides participating mining customers with annual certificates detailing the calculated carbon emissions and oil savings achieved by choosing Kal Tire repair and retreading solutions instead of replacing tires with new equivalents. The data can be used in sustainability reporting.
“Mining companies are increasingly looking for reliable data to demonstrate the environmental impact of the decisions they make across their operations,” said Miles Rigney, senior vice president of Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group. “This verification helps reinforce the role tire management can play in that broader picture, particularly as mines look for practical ways to reduce waste and make better use of high-value assets.”
