Michelin has been working for decades to reduce all the environmental impacts of its products, resulting in many innovations (radial, silica, renewable and recycled materials, etc). Tire road wear particles (TRWP) are one of these impacts, which is intensively studied in the research centers of the Michelin group. Over almost a decade of research, Michelin has delved ever deeper into this subject, from the heart of particles to their transportation. In this presentation, the latest results on these topics will be presented.

• The latest progress on TRWP research at Michelin
• The challenges of precise TRWP capture on a vehicle for a reliable evaluation purpose
• Insights on what is inside a TRWP
