Pyrum Innovations AG has successfully completed the mechanical assembly of its new grinding plant in Dillingen. Developed by Hosokawa, the jet mill has an input capacity of 1,650 kg/h and an output of 1,350 kg/h, making it the world's largest grinding plant for recovered carbon black (rCB). The process recirculates unused material to minimize waste and enhance efficiency.

Researchers at the University of Delaware have introduced an innovative method to address the environmental and health challenges posed by toxic chemicals in end-of-life tires, particularly 6PPD. This molecule, used in tires for UV protection, releases harmful particles during tire wear and landfill decomposition, contaminating waterways and causing significant ecological harm, including fish die-offs.

Tire pyrolysis company Pyrolyx A.G. has delisted from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as well as the Dusseldorf and Frankfurt stock markets following a prolonged closure of its processing plants in the U.S. and Germany. In a trading update, Pyrolyx said it had delisted from ASX following "failure to pay its annual listing fees by the due date." In addition, the company said it had notified German markets on Aug. 21 about delisting and said it expected the delisting to be effective by the end of that month.

The German online magazine “Recycling Magazine” reports about a new generation of asphalt that recycles 10 used tires into every ton of the road surfacing product. The product is being laid on Gold Coast streets in a world-first trial, the magazine says. The innovative rubberized asphalt which uses recycled end-of-life tires, known as Carbonmastic, developed by Australian companies Austek Asphalt Production and Pearl Global, could potentially lead to millions of tyres each year being redirected from landfill.

Bolder Industries – an American renowned tire pyrolysis operator and recovered carbon black producer – has been granted two tax abatements by the Terre Haute City Council for setting up a new pyrolysis plant in the city. Bolder Industries Inc. is investing $40 million in the former Pyrolyx USA plant to start a used tire recycling operation.

Specifically, recovered Carbon Black (rCB) and Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO), obtained through thermolysis processes from used tires, should be classified as valuable secondary products rather than waste. The lack of harmonization between the EU Waste Framework Directive and the EU Chemicals Regulation REACH could otherwise spell the end of chemical circular economy initiatives for used tires.

A subsidiary of Bolder Industries will recycle over four million end-of-life tires per year at a new facility planned for Antwerp, Belgium. Supported by a €32 million grant from the European Commission’s EU Innovation Fund and an additional €2 million from the Flanders region, the plant is slated to begin operations by 2027.
