Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and Swedish oil company Nynas AB are launching a joint research project with Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) to develop a process for refining pyrolysis oil recovered from end-of-life tires. As reported by Enviro, refining process will allow the oil to be used in more than fuel, which both increases the value of the recovered oil and reduces the environmental impact. “This project seeks to increase the economic and environmental profitability of both tire pyrolysis and tire recycling in general, and to promote the sustainable conversion of refineries for base oil production,” says Linda Sandström, the project manager at RISE ETC.

Commenting on the term of the new CEO, the company revealed that he will serve as a company’s head until Thomas Redd, CEO of Pyrolyx USA will be ready to be in charge of the corporation and will not be distracted by the development of the Indiana-based recovered carbon black facility, which is anticipated to begin functioning in June this year. The facility will be able to recycle more than 12,000 metric tons of scrap tires.

Tire producer Continental A.G will start applying recovered carbon black (rCB) obtained via tire pyrolysis method and produced by German Pyrolyx A.G. after two companies have reached a five-year deal. According to the contract, Pyrolyx will be supplying some 10,000 metric tons of rCB annually to Continental’s facilities in numerous countries. This will help Pyrolyx to increase its sales and grow in North America and eastern Europe as additional plants will be commissioned as part of the agreement.

According to the recent press release by Bolder Industries, the company is to launch an additional tire pyrolysis plant in Terre Haute, Indiana (United States). The Terre Haute facility will begin production in early 2023, increasing the company's current capacity. Bolder Industries, Inc., the pioneer of advanced sustainable chemical manufacturing sourced from end-of-life tires, today announced the purchase of the former Pyrolyx facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. The 66,000-square-foot location, which ceased operations in March 2020, will be retrofitted with Bolder Industries' proprietary solution, utilizing the currently permitted facility to increase Bolder's manufacturing capacity within the first year of operations.

Classic Rubber Flooring – a rubber flooring tiles manufacturer and supplier based in Ahmedabad, India – is expanding its recycling capabilities at its facility in Mehsana, Gujarat. The company specializes in manufacturing flooring for various applications, such as gyms, play areas, swimming pools, and athletic stadiums, using granules derived from waste tires. In the past, they relied on sourcing granules externally or importing them. However, in 2018, they decided to produce their own granules and partnered with Fornnax Technology, a Gujarat-based company specializing in waste tire recycling machinery. Classic Rubber installed a 1.5-ton-per-hour capacity granulator from Fornnax in 2019, followed by a secondary shredder in 2020 to meet their growing needs.
