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.

Apart from the Genan plant in Viborg, where group headquarters are located, Genan has three German factories in Oranienburg, Dorsten and Kammlach respectively, a factory in Ovar, Portugal, and one in Houston, Texas, USA.

The combined processing capacity of Genan’s 6 factories totals more than 400,000 tonnes of tyres a year. The Texan plant is the largest factory of its kind in the world – with the capacity to recycle 100,000 tonnes of tyres annually.

Sustainability is Genan’s core value, and we are committed to striving for a sustainable future in every choice we make.
As the largest tyre recycler in the world, our vision is that all worn-down tyres should be recycled in the environmentally and economically most beneficial way.
Joining the UN Global Compact is a natural step in our quest to contribute to a greener tomorrow.

Genan is a responsible environmental company, and corporate social responsibility and integrity are  fundamentally implemented in our business ethics. The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact are a central part of our CSR policy, and we comply with these principles in the operation of all group enterprises.

Genan’s core business concept is mainly focused on the endeavours to reach goal no. 12 (to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) and goal no. 13 (to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts).
