Chasing gold
Worldwide, tyre companies are racing to adapt themselves to the disruptions in the automotive industry by accelerating innovations.

It is found that rubber-yielding Russian dandelion, a summer weed, is found to be a suitable replacement for NR from Hevea. The research on commercialising NR from this ‘weed’ is being spearheaded by Dr Katrina Cornish and her group at Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural & Environmental Sciences. Her research, which has the potential to revolutionise the rubber and tyre industry, aims to develop industrial rubber crop, which matures much quicker than rubber trees that take as much as seven years to give yield

It’s not surprising that CEOs and corporate leaders describe him as ‘Sherlock Holmes of brand consultants’
