There Is No Such Thing as Waste – Just Material in the Wrong Place
Every year, March 18 marks Global Recycling Day. The reuse of materials also has a high priority at Continental.

The recycling model commonly used today is important, but is only a first step in the right direction.

That is why we at Continental are going one step further and focusing on circular economy.
