AZuR’s (Allianz Zukunft Reifen) network with a wide variety of companies related to the field of end-of-life tire recycling, welcomes a new partner. The British supplier of pyrolysis technology WF Recycle-Tech manufactures ethical and environmentally friendly systems that are used worldwide for the recycling of end-of-life tires. The company's patented thermodynamic process uses kinetic energy and heat to break down the rubber crumbs of end-of-life tires into three end products: oil, gas, and recovered carbon black (rCB). All three end products of the process have commercial applications: the oil can be used as fuel or for the production of chemical products, the gas can be used to generate electricity and heat, and the rCB can be used in the rubber and plastics industries.

Pyrum Innovations AG (Pyrum), a pioneering company that recycles used tires sustainably with its globally patented unique pyrolysis technology, recently published its annual and consolidated financial statements for the 2022 financial year. According to Pyrum’s press release, the group achieved total output of EUR 19.1 million. This represents a significant increase compared to the same period in the previous year (2021: EUR 3.7 million). The main reason for this was the sharp increase in own work capitalized in the amount of EUR 17.8 million (2021: EUR 2.8 million) as part of the expansion of the main plant in Dilligen/Saar. At EUR 1.0 million, sales were slightly above the previous year's level (2021: EUR 0.9 million).

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has introduced a new tread formulation for its ElectricDrive GT tire, specifically designed for electric vehicles. The tire features a specialized tread compound that enhances all-season traction and incorporates Monolith carbon black produced through methane pyrolysis. Monolith is a global leader in commercial-scale carbon black and hydrogen production using the methane pyrolysis process. This collaboration between Monolith and Goodyear marks a significant step towards achieving zero-emissions carbon black in tire manufacturing.

Nokian Tyres has entered into a research agreement for an international project with the aim of enhancing the quality and yield of recycled carbon black derived from end-of-life tires. The objective is to enable greater utilization of recycled carbon black in rubber compounds, providing tire and rubber manufacturers with the opportunity to create more sustainable products. Carbon black serves as a reinforcing filler in tires, enhancing their physical properties such as strength and resilience. Recycled carbon black can partially replace fossil-based virgin carbon blacks, contributing to a more sustainable approach.
