Intake and recycling

A second life for tyres

At Genan, we turn end-of-life tyres into new resources.
We recycle tyres from cars, vans, lorries, tractors, and large industrial vehicles – separating them into rubber, steel, and textile. The process is fully automated from start to finish, ensuring consistent, high-quality output – without human hands ever touching the tyres.

Are you a tyre collector?

Find your nearest Genan plant below – and reach out to arrange delivery. All tyres we receive are recycled with care – and transformed into valuable raw materials that can be used again and again.

What type of tyres do we accept?

We accept used standard tyres from:
  • Passenger cars
  • Pick-up trucks
  • Lorries/trucks
  • Motorbikes
  • Off-the-road (OTR) vehicles

 

Check local acceptance criteria below – or contact our intake staff to learn how tyres must be sorted.

We only accept tyres if:

  1. The supplier contacts our weighbridge before unloading – and presents a correctly filled-in consignment note, unless otherwise agreed.
  2. Tyres are clean – not covered in soil, mud, paint, or other contaminants like stones or foreign objects.
  3. Trucks are weighed on arrival and after unloading. A weight slip will be provided, and invoicing is based on the received tonnage.
  4. Walking floors or containers are clean before loading tyres or tyre chips.
  5. Tyres do not contain TPMS sensors – especially internal, vulcanised ones.

  • Industrial / solid rubber tyres
  • Foam-filled tyres
  • Bicycle and wheelbarrow tyres
