Tyres and rubber granulate

In 1994, the tyre industry established the company Svensk Däckåtervinning AB, SDAB. SDAB represents the tyre industry in its dealings with the authorities and the company’s purpose is to organise the collection and recycling of all used tyres. SDAB is the tyre industry’s response to the law on producer responsibility.

Ragn-Sells has been tasked with tyre recycling since 1995. The equivalent organisation in Norway is called Norsk Dekkretur AS.

Ragn-Sells collects and recycles all used tyres in Sweden and Norway on behalf of SDAB and Norsk Dekkretur. The tyres are used for several purposes, including material recycling, energy production, replacing materials, blasting mats and infrastructure.

More than 80,000 tonnes of tyres are collected each year in Sweden, and in Norway the figure is about 50,000 tonnes. 100% of the recovered tonnage is currently recycled.
