Last year, Tyre Recycling Solutions (TRS) – an innovative tire recycling company from Switzerland – announced the official inauguration of the new TyreXol™ MMA production line at facilities of Renecal, in Guardo (Palencia, Spain). The common project between TRS and its recycling partner, Renecal, has gone further. According to Renecal, Spanish company COLLOSA has carried out the reinforcement of the LE-6517 road of the Diputación de León, in the municipality of Cabreros del Río, with a mixture type SMA 11, with a 6% endowment of bitumen and 1% Tyrexol MMA 30, with a spectacular result and great facility for manufacturing and implementation.

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.
