PARTNERING FOR SUSTAINABILITY

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD COLLABORATIONS

At Genan, we collaborate with several partners and networks in our work towards a greener tomorrow.
You can read more about them on this page. 

FN17 BUSINESS

FN17 Business is an organization based in Viborg, Denmark, that helps both small and large companies implement the 17 Sustainable Development Goals from the UN. Genan and FN17 Business thus have a shared commitment to the green agenda, and by working together, we contribute not only to the well-being of our local community, but also to the larger global environment.

As a member of FN17 Business, Genan is part of a network of other companies that are actively working on the SDGs every day. By sharing with like-minded organizations and businesses, together we can create meaningful change, share innovative ideas and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.

NEW LIFE INITIATIVE

The NEW LIFE initiative is supported by companies and associations whose declared aim is to use materials recycled from ELT (End-of-Life-Tires), including worn-out tires as a sustainable raw material for high-quality products with a long service life.

Genan is a proud partner of the NEW LIFE initiative, and we support the work of the organization to spread knowledge about ELT recycling as well as to promote the environmental benefits of using recycled rubber, steel and textile fibres as raw materials – in comparison with the use of virgin materials.

THE AZUR NETWORK

AZuR is an innovation forum for end-of-life tire recycling, offering a wide-ranging network with a large variety of companies – all related to the tire industry. Along with numerous other companies, Genan seeks to drive the message and promote the joint goals of participants in this network supporting sustainable solutions.

AZuR works independently and aims to establish rubber, steel and textile fibres from end-of-life tires as valuable raw materials and to continuously find new markets, sales channels and applications for them.
