Pyrum Innovations AG was founded 2008 from an idea of four friends in a 9 m² gazebo. Today we are one of the leading Thermolysis company with worldwide patents.
Pyrum Innovations ESC GmbH is founded from an idea of four friends in a 9 m² garden shed.
The name Pyrum Innovations is made up of the terms Pyrolysis [Py], Recycling [R], Environment [[around] and Innovations together.
In 2008–2009, the company developed its first fully functional pilot plant on a scale of 1:3, which went into operation in 2009.
One year after the first pilot plant went into operation, Pyrum was able to convince its first potential customers and carried out joint test runs with them on the plant.
The EU grants the company a subsidy. This serves as the basis for the construction of the company’s first industrial-scale thermolysis plant.
Pascal Klein’s team begins with the planning and authorisation phase of a functional industrial plant. The plant is built at the headquarters in Dillingen/Saar.
The company convinces the various authorities of its idea and obtains all the necessary authorisations to build the planned plant. This means that the ground can be broken for the construction of the company’s first industrial plant.
In the two years following the final building permit, Pyrum designs and builds its first recycling plant for used tyres with an annual capacity of 5,000 tonnes of used tyres at the headquarters in Dillingen Saar (Germany).
The first industrial plant is completed and can be officially opened in front of the press. This is followed by the first test runs to check the functionality of the plant.
The authorisation and materials testing department approves the first industrial recycling plant
Over a period of three years, the company carried out numerous test runs on the industrial plant, including 24/7 operation, and repeatedly carried out minor optimisation work based on its findings.
The company changes its legal form. With immediate effect, the company no longer operates as ESC GmbH, but becomes Pyrum Innovations AG, now a public limited company.
In the same year, Pyrum becomes the first European company to receive REACH certification for its thermolysis oil. The product is thus recognised as an official raw material that can be used in production processes.
The improved industrial plant goes into operation.
The industrial company is building one of Germany’s largest shredder plants in order to be able to process large quantities of used tyres in the future. The shredder plant will go into continuous operation in November 2019.
The thermolysis system switches to the Continuous operation. From now on, thermolysis oil from the industrial plant will be delivered to customers at regular intervals.
BASF SE involved in the company and at the same time undertakes to Acceptance of the thermolysis oil obtained.
Bfrom a coke mill, which grinds the coke obtained from pyrolysis into fine carbon black (rCB – recovered carbon black).
The coke mill goes into operation at the beginning of the year.
Pyrum concludes purchase agreements for its rCB with two international tyre manufacturers.
Following REACH registration a few years earlier, Pyrum will receive ISCC Plus certification for its sustainable thermolysis oil in 2021.
In the same year, the company wins the „Recircle Award“ in the „Best Tire Recycling Innovation“ category.
Pyrum breaks ground for the site expansion at its headquarters in Dillingen/Saar. The aim is to significantly increase future recycling capacity.
Pyrum Innovations AG has its IPO in September 2021 and is thus relying on a private placement of Pyrum shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
In March 2022, Pascal Klein rang the stock exchange bell at 9.00 a.m. sharp to mark the start of trading on the trading floor of Deutsche Börse, accompanied by TV media and journalists. With a starting price of € 97, Pyrum Innovations AG was successfully listed in the Scale segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
As part of the Green Marathon, partner Schwalbe is presenting the first 100 % recycled bicycle tyres made from Pyrum-rCB, among other materials, at the world’s largest bicycle trade fair „Eurobike“. available.
In the same year, the Fraunhofer Institute certified the Pyrum thermolysis process 72 % CO2 savings compared to the current used tyre recycling mix in Germany.
Barely a year after the ISCC Plus certification for the thermolysis oil, the Pyrum-rCB also received the same. Both products are therefore recognised as sustainable and renewable raw materials.
Pyrum achieves a breakthrough in the recycling of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP). In 2023, the R&D team succeeds in recycling CFRP in its entirety for the first time worldwide. CFRP can be found in wind turbines and car bodies, among other things.
Pyrum Innovations AG achieved a „very good“ rating in imug’s ESG rating (sustainability rating).
Pyrum and Continental conclude a contract for the supply of carbon black (rCB).
Commissioning of the two new reactors TAD 2 & 3 begins as part of the site expansion in Dillingen-Saar.
In the course of its expansion, Pyrum reaches an agreement with the first companies at home and abroad to build recycling plants.
The subsidiary „Pyrum GreenFactory II“ is founded as a project company for the construction of Pyrum’s second own plant in Perl-Besch. The site is prepared for construction and the planned authorisation procedures are initiated.
Pyrum and Continental conclude new framework agreement on long-term acceptance of the Pyrum rCB (recovered Carbon Black) and agree on the supply of used tyres by Conti.
Pyrum Innovations AG receives Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) certification for its pyrolysis oil and opens up new possibilities for sustainable textile production.
Pyrum and Schwalbe conclude a framework agreement for the long-term purchase of rCB for a period of ten years.
The world’s largest grinding and pelletising plant for rCB is built at the headquarters in Dillingen.
Felix Magath becomes an investor and brand ambassador for Pyrum.
Pyrum breaks ground for its second recycling plant in Perl-Besch in the presence of representatives from politics, sport and the media.
The project in Greece receives EU funding totalling
29.4 million euros.
Pyrum and SUAS establish the joint venture “SUAS reTIRE s.r.o.” for the plant in the Czech Republic.
Pyrum and UNITANK establish a joint venture for the construction of up to ten plants.
Pyrum receives ISCC EU certification for its thermolysis oil and thus fulfils all the guidelines for using the oil in the EU as a sustainable raw material for the production of biofuels.
