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.
