SUSTAINABILITY
We provide sustainable solutions for tire management
We retread (refurbish for reusal) truck and bus tires and refurbish rims. Our inhouse logistics collect worn-out tires & rims to our facilities, and then deliver retreaded tires and refurbished rims back to the customer. A cost-efficient and circular model.
THE CHALLENGE
Tires generates CO2 emissions in production and waste when worn out
18tn tons
Annual global CO2 emissions from new tire production
900KG
Average CO2 emission per new tire produced
2%
Of global waste consists of end-of-life tires, leading to environmental and health hazards due to improper waste management.
Extending the life of existing tires is key to reducing the environmental impact of both new tire production and tire waste.

<13%
Of those 300m are reused or recycled
300m
Tires are discarded in the EU each year
RETREADING BENEFITS
Retreaded tires are better for the environment and cost-efficient - while offering quality on par with new tires
70%
Less natural resources needed for manufacturing than for new tires
63%
Less CO2 emissions in production than new tires
50%
Less air pollution than new tires (measured as milligram particles exhausted per km2)
25-35%
Cheaper than new tires of equivalent quality
Number of times a commercial vehicle tire can be retreaded
OUR MODEL
We operate a circular business for commercial vehicles, optimizing mileage, while reducing environmental impact
1
Replacement tire distribution
We sell tires (new and retreaded) to tire shops and vehicle owners, delivering them directly to the customer through our own logistics
2
Tire service and wheel alignment
Throughout their useful life we change and service these tires through our workshops and on site at our customers. We monitor the tires air pressure and align the wheels. All of which contribute to longer lasting tires, more uptime and lower fuel consumption
3
Collection of used tires and rims
Used tires (casings) and worn rims are collected at our service stations and on-site at customers via our own logistics fleet, returned to our sites for retreading and refurbishment
4
Retreading & rim refurbishment
Collected casings and rims are retreaded and refurbished at our sites. Our retreaded tires offer similar safety, milage/quality as new tires of similar function – at a lower price and with a better environmental profile. They are resold via service stations and directly to customers. Tires that are unfit for retreading are sent to recycling partners.
