Revenue for the financial year 2025, based on preliminary, unaudited figures, rose to EUR 4,103 thousand, doubling compared to the previous year (2024: EUR 2,022 thousand). This includes revenue from consulting services in the amount of EUR 2,000 thousand. Due to the lack of revenue from ThermoTireBlack (TTB®) in the fourth quarter, the full-​year forecast of EUR 4,500 thousand to EUR 6,000 thousand could not be achieved. Own work capitalized amounted to EUR 6,158 EUR (2024: EUR 8,994 thousand). The decline results from the largely completed commissioning work on a significant portion of the plant expansion in Dillingen.

With the name change, Pyrum wants to strengthen its brand identity and emphasise the independence and quality of its products. The reason for this is that the rCB and thermolysis oil available on the market do not always have the same specifications. rCB, for example, consists not only of recovered carbon black, but also contains inorganic additives from the tyres. This results in different mixtures that are not suitable for all applications. Pyrum’s products TTO® and TTB® are produced in the company’s own patented thermolysis process and have a precisely defined mixing ratio and specific properties that distinguish them from other products on the market and therefore require a unique designation.

The certification marks a crucial step for Pyrum’s industrial scaling. It combines the circular economy with a regulated, rapidly growing energy market: Pyrum’s thermolysis oil can now be used in a framework that is significant for the market development of sustainable fuels in Europe. This substantially broadens Pyrum’s commercialization opportunities, particularly in the segments of biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels, and co-processed fuels.

The Global Polymer Summit (GPS) has announced a dedicated Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) Symposium to be held during the event September 28-30, 2026 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, bringing together leaders from across the tire recycling, materials, rubber, plastics, and sustainability value chains.

Following the successful establishment of the joint venture UniPyrum, Pyrum Innovations AG (‘Pyrum’, ISIN: DE000A2G8ZX8) and UNITANK Holding GmbH & Co. KG (‘UNITANK’) are embarking on the next crucial phase of the project. The signing of an engineering and consulting agreement between Pyrum and UniPyrum has laid the foundation for the first joint plant at the UNITANK tank farm in Emleben.

The Alliance for the Future of Tires (AZuR) has officially launched the LOOP THE TIRE 2026 startup competition, calling on innovators across Europe to rethink tires, close material loops, and help shape a sustainable future for the tire and tire recycling industry. Applications are now open, with a deadline of May 15, 2026.

Michlen's SmartWear and SmartLoad aimed to improve safety, reduce costs and keep vehicle data on board. Tires were increasingly joining the digital transformation of vehicles, and Michelin had positioned itself at the forefront with the launch of its new artificial intelligence-driven tire technology. At the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Michelin was set to debut its SmartWear and SmartLoad systems, signalling a potential shift away from conventional tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS).
