As reported by the European Ruber Journal, Farrel Pomini expanded its investment in UK-based waste tire pyrolysis specialist WF Recycle-Tech, securing majority ownership and strengthening ties between the two companies. The move marked a significant step in scaling pyrolysis-based tire recycling technologies globally.

As recently reported by ERJ, the British technology startup HiiROC entered into a memorandum of understanding with Tokyo Gas to explore the deployment of its thermal plasma electrolysis technology for the production of clean hydrogen and sustainable carbon black.

A recent report by NITI Aayog, Enhancing Circular Economy of Waste Tyres in India, outlines how India can transform its growing end-of-life tire (ELT) challenge into a strategic opportunity for circular economy development, resource security, and emissions reduction.

MC Pyrolysis introduced a continuous screw pyrolysis plant designed for the recycling of end-of-life tires and rubber waste, highlighting a reactor concept that had already been operating at industrial scale in China for several years. The system was developed around a 27-meter screw reactor intended to support continuous processing rather than batch operation, addressing some of the operational constraints traditionally associated with tire pyrolysis.

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.

Effective 1 January 2026, TOSHNIWAL Brothers (SR) Pvt. Ltd. became HITEC’s exclusive sales and service partner in India for its carbon black testing equipment range. This partnership marks a significant step in HITEC’s strategy to strengthen its leadership in the dynamic Indian market. TOSHNIWAL Brothers, headquartered in Bangalore, has a 75-year legacy of instrumentation sales and service excellence across key industrial sectors that align closely with HITEC’s portfolio, including carbon black manufacturing, Tires & Rubber, and the emerging Battery market.

Circtec has completed construction of Phase 1 of its end-of-life tyre pyrolysis recycling facility at Delfzijl, the Netherlands. The plant is now in operation and recycling fifty thousand tonnes of waste tyres per year into high-quality circular products. The plant was formally opened by King Willem-Alexander in a ceremony in which the King commenced operations by feeding waste tyres into the recycling process himself. The ceremony was also attended by the Netherlands Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Climate and Green Growth and the British Ambassador to The Netherlands.

The achievement reflects continued progress at Ecolomondo’s Hawkesbury TDP facility, which is built using the Company’s proprietary Thermal Decomposition Technology (“TDP”). During the week, the facility successfully processed five double batches, each consisting of approximately 15,000 pounds of rubber crumb, for a total of 150,000 pounds processed. This production resulted in the generation of approximately 60,000 pounds of recovered carbon black and 75,000 pounds of tire-derived oil, along with approximately 15,000 lbs in syngas used as part of the process. In total, approximately 9,375 scrap tires were recycled during the week.

German Alliance for the Future of Tires (AZuR) reports thar each year, more than 500,000 metric tons of end-of-life tires are generated in Germany. Tires that can no longer be repaired, regrooved, or retreaded are ideally directed toward climate-friendly recovery pathways—preferably mechanical recycling, followed by chemical recycling where appropriate. A new film released by the Alliance for the Future of Tires (AZuR) clearly illustrates how tire pyrolysis plays a key role in avoiding waste, keeping valuable raw materials in circulation, and sustainably substituting fossil resources.
