Recycled rubber granulate (ELT) is a valuable secondary raw material for a wide range of sustainable, long-lasting products. The granulate is obtained in an environmentally friendly recycling process from end-of-life tyres (ELT) that can no longer be reused or retreaded.

The high-quality products made from recycled rubber granulate (ELT) are robust, weather-resistant, non-slip, easy to clean and are in no way inferior to products made from primary raw materials in terms of material characteristics.

The recycling process begins with a shredder that tears used tyres into palm-sized pieces. Knives then shred the robust raw material to such an extent that the tyre wire can be removed with the help of magnets. The rubber chips then go to the fine granulation stage. This is where the high-quality rubber granulate (ELT) is produced, which can be manufactured in various qualities and grain sizes.

The reclaimed, versatile recycled material is processed by innovative companies into a wide range of products. These consist of over 90 per cent recycled rubber and caoutchouc materials. The rubber granulates (ELT) from the NEW LIFE partners come from used tyres of EU origin. This ensures that the granules comply with the REACH regulation.
