This is a wonderful invention for petroleum industry that new tires are being made from orange peels. Although used tires also be very helpful in most cases.

To all you petroleum junkies, the protective layer surrounding the fruit called an orange, the part that is usually discarded, is the part of the fruit that will be used to produce the oil as part of the process in making these tires. Try using that lump on your shoulders for more than holding your hat!

If we can make tires with reduced petroleum can we make plastic water bottles by addinig orange oil with petrolium since we use 17 million barrels of oil per year to produce 50 billion plastic bottles for water…

Environmental impact from using plastic water bottles…
Emissions from oil and plastic bottle waste…

Good idea! Thank you for giving us a opportunity to explain the property of the ORANGE.

Orange-oil comes from the peel; you know that part you add to the LANDFILL!

If the orange oil comes from a waste byproduct in the production of orange juice, what is the fuss? No one eats those peels. The orange oil replaces much of the petroleum used for tires. The peels are easy to process (minimal energy input) or else orange oil would not already be a commodity. There is no need to find “the beef”, this new product is going to be beneficial to the environment.
