Premium tire manufacturer donates 400 square meters of paving stones for youth basketball court in Hanover-Linden

Continental recycles around 200 racing tires from first Extreme E season

Hanover, Germany, November 25, 2022. "Turning racing tires into living space" - under this motto, a new basketball court is being built in Hanover to give children from the surrounding area a lively place to play, run and train. Continental is providing the necessary rubber paving stones as a donation. The paving stones are made from recycled racing tires from the Extreme E electric racing series, which Continental has been supporting as a founding partner since 2019. The Extreme E tyres underwent a particularly complex manufacturing process to extract all chemical components from the tires before transforming them into paving stones. Now the tires will be given a second life as the foundation of a high-level basketball court.
