Shandong Youyue Rubber Takes Active Steps to Comply with EUDR: On-Site Visit to Thai Rubber Suppliers

Shandong Youyue Rubber Tec Co., Ltd. has proactively responded to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), dispatching a professional team composed of Mr. Liu, Director of Operations, Mr. Wei, Director of Certification, and relevant personnel from the Procurement Department. The team conducted an on-site visit to rubber suppliers in Thailand to ensure effective implementation of the regulation's policies. The company also confirmed that its two major flagship brands—ZELDA and LYKEEN passenger car tires—fully comply with EUDR requirements.

On-Site Inspection of Rubber Plantations to Ensure Source Compliance

During the visit, the Youyue Rubber team carried out a comprehensive and detailed inspection of local rubber plantations in Thailand. The team not only gained in-depth insights into rubber planting processes and management models but also engaged in thorough communication with local rubber farmers. Through face-to-face interactions, the team obtained first-hand information on rubber cultivation and harvesting, ensuring that the rubber source complies with EUDR requirements for sustainable production and environmental protection—critical for the raw material basis of ZELDA and LYKEEN tires.

Strict Review of Storage and Data Management to Improve Document Organization

In addition to inspecting plantations, the team conducted detailed information collection on storage conditions at local rubber collection sites, data procurement processes, and document organization. Specifically, the team:

    · Verified that rubber storage environments met quality and environmental standards;

    · Reviewed supplier data records for completeness and accuracy to ensure product traceability, which directly supports the compliance of ZELDA and LYKEEN tires in EU markets;

    · Provided guidance on standardizing document classification to ensure proper preservation and management of all relevant information, forming a traceable supply chain data system for the two brands.

Fulfilling Social Responsibility to Promote Sustainable Development

As a socially responsible enterprise, Shandong Youyue Rubber has always prioritized compliant operations and sustainable development. This on-site visit to Thai suppliers, combined with the full compliance of ZELDA and LYKEEN passenger car tires with EUDR, represents a key measure to implement EUDR and a concrete action to drive green transformation across the supply chain. By integrating EUDR requirements into brand product lines, Youyue Rubber not only ensures product compliance but also sets a benchmark for sustainable practices in the global tire industry.

Looking ahead, Shandong Youyue Rubber Tec Co., Ltd. will continue to strictly adhere to domestic and international regulations, strengthen supply chain management for ZELDA and LYKEEN brands, explore green development paths, and deliver higher-quality, eco-friendly passenger car tires that fully meet global sustainability standards.
