The facility is also expected to generate approximately 21,000 tonnes annually of tire-derived oil through the company's pyrolysis process.
The updated presentation, dated May 8, 2026, has been made available through the company’s website and outlines Pyrum’s progress in scaling its thermolysis-based tire recycling business and expanding industrial partnerships across the circular materials sector.
Ecolomondo Corporation – a Canadian supplier of thermal decomposition process technologies for end-of-life-tires – announced that it has selected Maylan Group Inc. of Hawkesbury, Ontario, to construct the building that would house its new Thermal Decomposition Process (TDP) turnkey facility to be located in Hawkesbury, Ontario. The Company and the Contractor have recently signed a binding Design-Build contract with a not-to-exceed price of $6.6 million, with substantial completion expected by January 15, 2020.
The proposed cooperation includes adding capacity in Monterrey for the processing of an additional 1 million passenger tires and developing further tire recycling and pyrolysis facilities in other Mexican states, including Guadalajara. IVR said the partnership would use ProDynamics’ nationwide tire distribution network to access end-of-life tires and convert them into renewable products such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black, recycled steel and gas. The companies said the project is intended to reduce emissions from end-of-life tires that would otherwise end up in landfills while supporting circular economy solutions in the regions where ProDynamics operates.
The facility is co-funded by the European Union's Innovation Fund — one of the world's largest programs for demonstrating innovative low-carbon technologies, financed through EU Emissions Trading System revenues and managed by CINEA — and supported by equity investment from Tiger Infrastructure Partners. The Innovation Fund backs flagship initiatives that deliver significant greenhouse gas reductions across energy-intensive industries. This facility directly fulfills that mandate, demonstrating how industrial manufacturing can reduce emissions at scale by replacing fossil fuel-derived virgin carbon black with sustainable, mass-balanced, traceable alternatives.
The move comes after the Austrian firm earlier presented its innovative way of tire recycling that seeks to recycle rubber from tires into solid carbon, also known as recovered carbon black. Alternatively, the method allows getting a hydrocarbon mixture like pyrolysis oil and gas. Apart from commercial application of recycled products, the process is of value as it is totally in line with circular economy’s principles and it does not require external energy sources.
Commissioned in 2023 as part of WasteServ’s broader site upgrade, the facility centers on Gradeall’s tire baling and handling systems, designed to process both passenger and commercial tires into compact, transport-ready bales for export to mainland recycling facilities.
The company maintained an 81% utilization rate through beneficial reuse across 219 million tires collected. These results also reflect Liberty’s continued focus on its workforce and communities. In 2025, the company reported an 11% reduction in Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) and a 9% relative reduction in employee turnover, alongside more than $216,000 donated to charitable initiatives.
Terrablack is designed to address the growing demand for sustainable carbon black. Using recovered carbon black (rCB) and Tire-derived oil (TDO), this product line is formulated after 24 months of in-depth testing and collaboration to shape the future of carbon black production. It offers high-performance, eco-friendly solutions that meet the needs of both Tire and non-Tire industries.
