Conti boosts recycled content in its tyres with 10-year Pyrum carbon black purchase agreement

Continental is planning to boost the recycled content in its tyres after it signed a new decade-long purchase agreement with Pyrum Innovations. Pyrum specialises in thermolysis technology in end-of-life tyres (ELT), generating high-quality recovered carbon black (rCB). Conti said it signed the new supply deal to fulfil its intention to use rCB in the series production of passenger car tyres in the future. Conti had already signed a development agreement with Pyrum Innovations in 2022, after which the companies shared the goal of optimising and expanding ELT recycling with pyrolysis.

ReOil pyrolysis process the template for Grimsby plant

,

North East Lincolnshire Council has approved plans for a pyrolysis plant for processing end-of-life tyres in Grimsby. The facility proposed by Fluid Ice FO Ltd has the capacity to process nearly 25,000 tonnes of waste tyres annually. Fluid Ice claims that the plant will use a pyrolysis process “based on the plant” operated by ReOil in Jazworno, Poland, which produces saleable fuel oil, carbon black and steel as well as pyrolysis gas.
