Lünen, 05 February 2025.TSR Group GmbH & Co. KG’s dedication to the green transition and the future can now be seen in black and white at its site in Duisburg. The road leading to TSR’s Duisburg branch has been renamed “Raw Materials Island” – replacing its previous address “Scrap Island”.
The new street name, therefore, further underlines the role that the TSR Group has carved out for itself: namely, to be a producer of high-quality recycled raw materials and a partner to industry in returning metals to industrial value chains. At the same time, it also reflects the structural change in the region: where the image of a traditional scrapyard once dominated, a modern recycling facility is now taking shape, combining resource recovery with economic development.
The renaming of the street is far more than simply an official act. It also signifies what the TSR Group is all about: a business that transforms old metal into high-quality recycled raw materials so they can be used in industrial value chains. While the old name “Scrap Island” was strongly influenced by the image of a waste management business, the new name highlights the quality and the sustainability of the materials that TSR processes and produces.
The company’s Duisburg branch is one of the largest recycling sites in Europe. TSR operates a processing plant here for the recycled product TSR40. This is where it transforms post-consumer material into the high-quality recycled product TSR40 that is then used to produce steel. In this way, the site helps to integrate recycled raw materials more fully into industrial processes, thereby creating the conditions for reduced use of primary raw materials and, potentially, lower CO₂ emissions and energy consumption. At the same time, it strengthens the resilience of industrial value chains.
“Our recycled raw materials – including our recycled product TSR40 – have already been able to establish themselves as a genuine alternative to virgin raw materials. We are delighted that our commitment and dedication are now being reflected in our Duisburg address and we would like to thank the city council for making the renaming of the street possible,” commented Bernd Fleschenberg, managing director of the TSR Group.
