In addition to offering safe and durable parking lot safety solutions, GNR Technologies create products that are conscious of and friendly to the environment.  Every year, we eliminate millions of tires that would otherwise be sitting in landfills. Creating new and useful products from used rubber tires is one of the many ways to make use of scrap tires while promoting a healthier environment.

All GNR products are made from 100% post-consumer recycled truck tires.

How many tires do each of our solutions eliminate from landfills?

	Easy Rider Speed Bump 5.1 tires are used in each 6' speed bump		Safety Rider Mini Hump 3.6 tires are used in each Safety Rider Section
	Park-It Car Stop 3.4 tires are used in each 6' car stop		Alley Bump 7.6 tires are used in each 6' Alley Bump

*Although our products are manufactured in Montreal, Canada, GNR's products use recycled rubber tires mainly derived from landfills in the United States.

"The recycled rubber wheel stops and speed bumps have been an excellent addition to our parks system. Not only are they uniform and aesthetically pleasing but they involve low, if any, maintenance or replacement costs and exhibit an environmentally conscious mindset. Used on both asphalt and gravel parking areas we've had no problems after years of use."
