Tiremakers ready to roll with EUDR, but repeated delays frustrate industry
Tire manufacturers are prepared for the EU's antideforestation regulation (EUDR) but are frustrated by its repeated delays. The EUDR aims to ensure that products linked to deforestation, including natural rubber, are not sold in the EU market. Compliance with the regulation requires complex traceability throughout the natural rubber supply chain, which poses significant challenges for the industry.
- ▪The EUDR is set to take effect at the end of this year, targeting seven commodities including natural rubber.
- ▪Natural rubber supply chains involve 6 million smallholders, making traceability complex.
- ▪The implementation of the EUDR has been delayed twice, with large companies now required to comply by December 30, 2026.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Tire manufacturers, major consumers of natural rubber, say they’re ready for the implementation of the EU’s antideforestation regulation, or EUDR, and lament its repeated delays.Natural rubber supply chains are notoriously complex, with 85% of natural rubber coming from 6 million smallholders, and the rubber passing through numerous intermediaries before being turned into tires.Ensuring EUDR compliance throughout natural rubber supply chains remains challenging; European tire industry representatives also point to ongoing problems with the information system and due diligence requirements in downstream supply chains.The Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber, made up of industry, civil society and producers, promotes sustainability within the natural rubber supply chain and…
