News: Tire Recycling & Pyrolysis

Arkansas' tire recycling program is struggling due to chronic underfunding, with scrap tires piling up across the state. The program relies on a state-mandated fee, but rising costs have outpaced revenues, leaving a funding gap. Efforts to increase tire fees have faced resistance, including a 2023 proposal that passed the Senate but stalled in the House, partly due to concerns over higher taxes.

Ecolomondo Corporation, a leading innovator in sustainable tire recycling technology, announces that it expects to soon receive its new milling line. As previously announced, the Company was in the final stages of the commercialization of its Hawkesbury TDP facility when it discovered a major deficiency in its recovered carbon black milling line that was already installed. After numerous months of testing, the milling line was incapable to achieve the promised output of 1,600 lbs per hour of recovered carbon black (rCB) nor was it capable to yield a particle size of 10-15 microns, the particle size promised and required by most of the Company’s rCB off-takers.

Pyrum Innovations AG has been operating all three production lines at its headquarters in Dillingen/Saar in parallel for the first time since last weekend. The three reactors will initially be operated together for one week before TAD 1 enters the next maintenance phase as planned.

Starting next year, New Orleans residents will be able to earn money by recycling tires as part of a new pilot program aimed at curbing illegal tire dumping across the city. Supported by $250,000 in funding from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the New Orleans Sanitation Department, the initiative seeks to reduce the thousands of tires illegally discarded each year.

International CSRC Investment Holdings, the parent company of Continental Carbon, is reorganizing its global carbon black production to tackle oversupply in China and address growing demand in other regions. The company is selling its Chongqing facility to Longxing Chemical and is negotiating the sale of its Anshan plant. These moves respond to a surplus in China driven by increased imports of Russian carbon black after the EU banned Russian products.

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.

Shercom Industries, a Saskatoon-based tire recycling company, has initiated legal action against the Province of Saskatchewan, Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan (TSS), and TSS CEO Stevyn Arnt. The lawsuit, filed on November 8, alleges breach of contract and "injurious falsehoods," seeking $10 million in damages from the province and additional punitive damages from TSS and Arnt.
