Genan is a recycler of end-of-life tyres. Used tyres are cleaned, shredded and granulated, and the original components are separated for an output of approx. 75% rubber, 15% steel and 10% textile fibres. Rubber granulate, powder and pellets from Genan are uniform, upcycled quality products with fantastic product properties.
