GENAN RUBBER GRANULATE NOW ALSO USED FOR SANDAL SOLES

Sandals made of recyled rubber from Genan

Vulkan, an innovative, German start-up, has entered the German market with a brand new product: a sandal with a sole made of 100% GENAN recycled rubber granulate from end-of-life tyres – and a thin top sole made from recycled polyester as footbed. – A visionary sustainability initiative and an innovative application where the excellent properties of ELT rubber are put to good use.

“In the Corona period I built a sandal out of a tyre granulate mat myself. I was impressed by the properties of the tyres. The material is flexible, durable and recycled. First I built the sandals for friends and family. Since then, I started selling the sandals and now I’m sold out every month,” Founder of Vulkan David Bredt explains and continues:

“In addition to new models of sandals, I have just launched a shirt made from recycled plastics. And all for affordable prices so that products that are good for our planet can also be used.”

Information on the current EU debate on the use of rubber granulate in artificial turf pitches

CO2 illustration

In the EU, approx. 40 million end-of-life tyres are recycled into infill for artificial turf each year. Thanks to this sustainable upcycling, the climate is spared 280,000 tonnes of CO2. If these worn-out tyres were instead incinerated, no less than 145 million trees would have to be planted in order to neutralise the increased CO2 emission.

NAME CHANGE

Genan quote icon

As of 1 May 2020, the name of our Portuguese company – formerly known as Biosafe – is Genan, S.A.

In this connection, we have launched a new, Portuguese version of our website.

The layout of all Portuguese documentation will of course be changed to match the brand expression of the Genan group; yet customers and suppliers will find the same familiar and helpful faces at our Portuguese office address. Phone numbers and bank details also remain the same.

Our Portuguese team looks forward to providing the same excellent service and high product quality as always – under the name of Genan.
