For tire plants
Trusted partner to the global tire industry
Since our start in 1948, three generations of the De Ruijter family have developed our organization into a worldwide known innovator of reprocessed rubber compounds. Throughout the years, we have developed a unique ‘waste-to-product’ process, helping the global rubber and tire industry with reducing waste and lowering its environmental footprint.
DRI Rubber has successfully integrated into the global tire plants, offering many logistical solutions and helping processing rubber waste streams. Rubber waste isn’t just a problem. We have learned that it can be a solution for many things! We offer many logistical solutions, which support the reduction of rubber waste streams throughout the process. We also offer toll manufacturing, coordinating the rubber waste management. And with our closed-loop solutions, we are even able to directly give back to the industry! This is how we can really invest in the circular economy, reducing prime material usage and CO2-footprint. Additionally, by keeping this in the (local) region as much as possible, we also reduce transport emissions and costs.
CSRD Reporting
In Europe, numerous organizations are faced with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The CSRD mandates large public-interest entities in the European Union to disclose their environmental, social and sustainability performances, alongside governance practices. Although the CSRD does not directly apply to DRI Rubber, we recognize our pivotal role within the supply chain of our partners.
End-of-waste begins here!
