Reifen Müller is pleased to announce that the retreaded commercial vehicle tyres from the Hammelburg-Westheim plant are classified as sustainable according to the EU Taxonomy Regulation. The EU Commission confirms that these products fall under the category "sale of second-hand goods" and are therefore not subject to the requirements for new tyres (e.g. rolling noise, rolling resistance).
For transport companies, this means
The use of retreaded tyres is still permitted and environmentally friendly. The sustainable effect is officially recognised.

Reifen Müller donates €5,000 to the Regenbogen parents' initiative
Hammelburg, 1 December 2025 – Once again this year, Reifen Müller is foregoing Christmas gifts for customers and business partners and instead is supporting the Rainbow Parents' Initiative for Children with Leukaemia and Cancer Würzburg e.V. with a donation of 5,000 euros. The company is thus continuing its 21-year tradition.
„The parents“ initiative does valuable work for children and families who are facing particularly challenging times," explains Jürgen Fischer, Managing Director of Reifen Müller GmbH & Co. KG. „With our donation, we want to help ensure that this important support can continue.“
Also Norbert Sauernheimer, Managing Director of Reifen Müller Runderneuerung, emphasises the company's connection to the region:
„As a locally rooted company, it is important for us to take responsibility. Overall, we have now been able to support the initiative's work with 77,000 euros promote.“
The parents„ initiative supports families at the “Regenbogen„ children's cancer ward, the “Schatzinsel„ ward for stem cell transplants and the “Leuchtturm" day clinic. In addition to child-friendly facilities, it provides parents with apartments in the immediate vicinity of the clinic. Every year, around 90 to 100 new children admitted to the University Children's Hospital in Würzburg and treated there.
Every truck tyre we retread saves around 135 kg of CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process compared to new tyre production.
