The aim of the European Black Cycle project is to create a closed-loop economy for the efficient recycling of used tyres. The consortium, which is represented in five countries, aims to develop a sustainable process for returning recovered materials from used tyres to the production of new tyres. In addition to the collection and selection of raw materials from used tyres, this also includes the Optimisation of thermolysis, oil refining and utilisation.
The Pyrum Innovations AG team is focussing on the further development and adaptation of the Thermolysis process in the laboratory- and on an industrial scale. The aim is to develop products with customised properties for ideal further utilisation with highest possible quality from used tyres be won.
