High-​quality replacement of fossil resources

Minimising the carbon footprint2of plastics

The REACH-​certified Pyrum TTO® (ThermoTireOil) is a unique Recycled crude oil for the chemical and plastics industrywhich is produced with the highest quality and consistent excellence. The German chemical company BASF uses the raw material as part of its ChemCyclingTMproject for the manufacture of new chemical products for the plastics industry.

Products that are manufactured using a mass balance approach from TTO® (ThermoTireOil) have been proven to have the same properties as products manufactured using primary fossil resources. They also cause a significant smaller CO2-footprint than conventional products. One tonne of polyamide 6 (PA6) produced with Pyrum TTO® (ThermoTireOil) emits around 1.3 tonnes less CO2 than one tonne of PA6 produced with fossil raw materials.

The Pyrum TTO® (ThermoTireOil) is a unique Product oil, produced with the highest quality and consistent excellence. These aspects make the Pyrum TTO® (ThermoTireOil) for the first time REACH certified recycled oil from rubber waste in Europe. Thanks to the product status of the oil, it can be used as a raw material in various industries (chemical industry, refineries, carbon black production (CB), etc.) and is therefore not subject to waste legislation.
