Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is committing to use U.S. soybean oil and phase out petroleum-derived oils from its products by 2040.
Soy Checkoff research funding and a partnership with the company led to Goodyear’s sustainable soybean oil procurement policy.
United Soybean Board farmer-leader Ed Lammers serves as oil target area coordinator.
“We have found that soybean oil has been a great replacement for petroleum oil,” he says.
