CVS Reifen GmbH

We are a used tyre collection and disposal company that has been operating in this sector for 30 years throughout the Federal Republic of Germany. We hold a certificate as a ‘Specialist Disposal Business’.

In 2011, we took collection of around 15,000 tons of used tyres, employing exclusively our own staff and using our own vehicles.

These old tyres get processed using the R3 procedure and are initially sorted at our storage site into ‘re-use’ or ‘disposal’. The proportion of tyres allocated for re-use was c. 40% in 2011. The remaining 60% was supplied to various cement works, granulating and recycling plants for incineration.

The majority of the reusable tyres are exported around the world to countries and continents such as the USA, Russia, Australia, Asia, Central Asia, Africa, South America and Europe. In addition, we also supply remoulding companies both in Germany and elsewhere in Europe with tyre carcasses.

For the tyres intended for complete disposal we have two in-house shredder plants with sieves, which are approved pursuant to Articles 19, 10 and 4 of the Federal Emission Control Act (BimSchG) in combination with the fourth directive on implementation of the BimSchG in combination with no. 8.11, column 2b) bb) of the appendix. The tyre cuttings produced in this way are delivered to, among others, a German cement works for incineration and provided to various recycling companies for further utilisation.

History

CVS Reifen was founded in February 1982 and registered as a limited company, a GmbH, in December 1983 in the companies register in Wetzlar.

The then managing director’s business idea was a nationwide used tyre recycling and disposal operation.

Up until 1997 we obtained our used tyres almost exclusively via sub-contractors, which we supported at set-up and also later constantly trained. After the company’s certification in 1995 and the split away from all sub-contractors in 1998, we began to collect used tyres independently, using our own vehicles and staff. Through reliability and strength of purpose we succeeded in securing ourselves a permanent place as a tyre recycling and disposal operator for a range of companies. This success reached its highpoint in 2000 when Volkswagen AG became a client.

With a determined and disciplined approach, we are today integrated at high-profile companies as a permanent recycling and disposal partner. Our vehicle fleet consists today of five container trucks, five trucks each with a 7.5-ton trailer, one 6.5-ton truck and one 7.5-ton truck, plus an additional 5 swap bodies and multiple vans.

The constantly increasing number of now 130 containers for tipper trucks, each with a volume of 40m³, can be transported at short notice using 5 container trucks.

We now have the capacity to process around 100 tons of used tyres (equivalent to c. 13,000 units) every day on premises of over 26,000m², of which c. 10,000m² are under cover. At our Aßlar site we have another 6,000m² of storage capacity and 2,000m² of indoor industrial space available to us.
