Internship in Sustainable Materials - Non-Pneumatic Tires (m/f)

Goodyear. More Driven.

The Opportunity
The subject of the internship is: “Map sustainable materials for Non-Pneumatic Tires”. 

The main objective of this research work is on collecting and reviewing research papers from reliable databases like Science Direct, Research Gate, Google Scholar, WBCSD, TIP, and Sustainability-Reports, as well as from tire manufacturing majors worldwide. This study is intended to track the general sustainability status and potential gaps in the sustainable move for non-pneumatic tires. The study will also include assessing the sustainability level of available thermoplastic materials (source, manufacturing, recyclability) and whether available bio-based thermoplastic elastomers can already fulfill current NPT requirement criteria (provided by Company).

Responsibilities:

• Establish a bibliography 
• Enhance the value of the review through a bibliometric study
• Synthesize and document the outcome of the reviews.
• Identify and list the gaps 
• Outline potential next steps
