Pyrum quality management system gains ISO 9001 certification

Pyrolysis-based end-of-life tyre (ELT) recycling specialist Pyrum Innovations AG has received ISO 9001 certification for its quality management in the scope of ELT recycling, production and sales of the resulting products, research and development of new input materials and products, and plant design and construction. Passing this audit confirms the German company’s implementation of and compliance with the quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.

According to Pyrum, gaining certification demonstrates its aspirations and awareness of its responsibility towards customers, who benefit from the guaranteed assurance of a constant level of reliability and quality standards. At the same time, the company has received external, independent certification that its management system enables it to align its products and services with customer needs and to offer consistently reliable performance.

“We are very proud to have received initial certification without any objections and to have reached another important milestone,” comments Pascal Klein, chief executive officer of Pyrum Innovations. “With this certification, we fulfil the criteria of the tyre industry to be allowed to supply our recovered carbon black (rCB). Further certifications specific to the automotive industry will follow in the future so that our rCB can be used in increasingly complex applications.”

Pyrum Innovations AG receives end-of-life tyres directly from manufacturers and workshops, recycles them in its own pyrolysis plant and in this way produces new raw materials such as pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black, which can be returned to the recyclable material cycle. The company was the first in the ELT recycling sector to receive REACH registration from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) for the pyrolysis oil it produces. This means that the oil is recognised as an official raw material that can be used in production processes. In addition, Pyrum has received ISCC PLUS certification for the pyrolysis oil and the recovered carbon black. Both products are thus considered sustainable and renewable raw materials.
