The agreements give Pyrum long-term access to end-of-life tires from Pirelli’s defined German sources and provide Pirelli with ThermoTireBlack® for European tire production. Pyrum said the arrangement covers both sides of its business model: procurement of end-of-life tires and commercialization of the secondary raw materials produced from them.

The process draws on end‑of‑life tyres collected across Germany, from some Driver retail outlets and motorsport activities, as well as scrap tyres collected from Pirelli's Breuberg plant. They are processed through an industrial chain designed to maximize their inner value, converting them into secondary raw materials – including synthetic rubber – certified under the ISCC PLUS scheme. This ensures traceability along the value chain and enables the circular materials’ reintroduction into the manufacturing of new Pirelli tyres, maintaining their highest standards of quality and performance.

The updated presentation, dated May 8, 2026, has been made available through the company’s website and outlines Pyrum’s progress in scaling its thermolysis-based tire recycling business and expanding industrial partnerships across the circular materials sector.
