Swedish tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer and operator Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) reports about developing a public, international corporate bond to finance the company’s ownership of forthcoming pyrolysis plants for end-of-life vehicle tires. The work to develop the bond is being carried out in collaboration with the London-based finance financial adviser Zenzic Partners, Enviro says.

Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB (Enviro) – a renowned tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer and operator – reports about signing a term sheet with TreadCraft Carbon LLC, Buffalo, NY, USA, on the key parts of an agreement to establish a jointly owned plant for the recovery of materials from used tires based on Enviro’s pyrolysis technology. According to the Enviro, the two parties have now agreed on the main conditions for a plant deal. A final agreement is expected to be finalized during the second half of 2019 and would entail the sale of a pyrolysis plant, worth approximately between EUR 25 and 30 million, as well as license revenue and future profits.

Scandinavian Enviro Systems – a renowned tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer from Sweden – reports that its production company has now obtained ISO certification in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 regarding the company’s quality and environmental management systems. “Our production has been running in accordance with both certifications for a long time, being certified formally is important in our customer dialogues, as it’s often required,” says Thomas Sörensson, CEO of Enviro.

A recent press release by Kal Tire – Canada’s largest independent tire dealer and one of North America’s largest commercial tire dealers – tells about its first thermal conversion recycling facility set to open in Antofagasta, Chile, in 2019. The press release also elaborates on how developing government relationships was just as critical to the company as developing a viable recycling solution.

A new website that seeks to raise awareness to tire-originated microplastics, road wear particles (TRWP) and their detriment to ecology and human wellbeing has been launched by The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA). The website also highlights a study by the ETRMA-launched TRWP platform that presented its conclusions earlier this June. The highlight of the study is the finding that 2-5% of particles generated on roads can reach estuaries.

The port of Danish Nyborg will host a tire pyrolysis facility that will be able to produce over 9,000 tons of recovered carbon black annually through recycling of some 30,000 tons of scrap tires per year. This project is seen as a major step made to advance circular business model in Denmark. The ambitious plan is to be carried out by the Danish tire pyrolysis operator Elysium Nordic.

Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) by recycler Klean Industries Inc (Klean) has managed to set record for its production as the company manufactures over 100,000 metric tons of the valuable product per year. To get the material, the company relies on its licensed scrap tire recycling technology that enables manufacturing of high quality products out of waste. Apart from recovered Carbon Black, Klean also produces tire-derived oil and steel.

With recycling and sustainability making headlines in the mainstream news, recovered carbon has ever growing market potential. Its enhanced use would lead to reduction of CO2 footprint, cost reduction to carbon black users, less price volatility and even in some cases performance benefits over carbon black grades. It is used as a substitute for virgin carbon black, or applied in combination with its virgin counterpart; the research of the recycled material’s applications, its blending properties and value is still ongoing, and it was deeply discussed during Recovered Carbon Black Forum held on May 21-22 in Berlin, Germany organized by Smithers Rapra and Martin von Wolferstorff.

Recovered carbon black producer Pyrolyx AG is ready to set a second pyrolysis facility which will be constructed in Terre Haute, US. This move comes after the company relocated its main office from German Munich to Terre Haute, Indiana. One pyrolysis plant has already been built in the US by Pyrolyx; the company says that the next facility will be very similar to the US-based tire pyrolysis plant.
