Spanish Greenval Technologies – a Spanish company offering end-of-life tire (ELT) solutions – is to build a tire recycling facility in partnership with Spanish tire specialist Grupo Soledad. According to Grupo Soledad’s president, Salvador Pérez, the plant is contemplating a 20 million euro investment. Pyrolysis is the foundation of the transformation process. It generates six times less CO2 than any other combustion process, making it one of the cleanest energy sources for turning end-of-life tires into high-value petrochemicals and alternative fuels.

Mars Mineral – an American manufacturer of agitation pelletizing technology with pin agglomerators, disc pelletizers, and deep drum pelletizers based in Pennsylvania – has been awarded a contract to design and manufacture a new pin mixer for Warsaw, Poland-based Contec S.A., an environmental services company that uses pyrolysis to extract recovered carbon black (rCB) powder grades, as well as pyrolysis oil and recovered steel from waste or end-of-life tires (ELTs). The Mars Mineral pin mixer transforms the rCB powder into pellets, making them ready for packaging and transport to Contec’s end-partner customers. rCB pellets are used in tire, paint, plastics, and rubber manufacturing.
