Sustainability

It is vital that products with no alternatives are reused through sustainable solutions. Tire is one of the products that does not have an alternative in the transportation and logistics network yet. For this reason, the recycling of end-of-life tires so that they can be used in tire production is at the center of our sustainability goals.

Tires are among the commodities whose numbers are not noticed by most of us, although they are constantly in sight in our daily life. However, in the world, approximately 1.5 billion tires are discarded every year and these tires constitute a very valuable resource for the circular economy.

Natural rubber, synthetic rubber, steel and fibre, which are the components of the tire, each have a special importance in terms of the performance of the tire, and these components maintain their value even after the tires have completed their life. Correct management of the research, development and planning processes of the stakeholders in the recycling and waste industry ensures that they can be separated and reused in appropriate places under appropriate conditions.

At LAGEDO, we recycle the components found in end-of-life tires without losing their properties. Offering high-performance products, we reduce production costs in many industries. And with our sustainable practices, we support the circular economy and create employment opportunities.

We refrain from chemical processes in production. Instead, we use water jet and mechanical grinding technologies. We protect the environment and contribute to reducing the carbon footprint thanks to the clean technology we use.

We use methods that do not pose a risk against soil, air or water. We treat the water used in the process and recover 95% of it to be reused in production, thus greatly reducing our water footprint.
