Black Cycle

The aim of the European BlackCycle 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 recycling.

The Pyrum Innovations AG team is focussing on the further development and adaptation of the thermolysis process on a laboratory and industrial scale. The aim is to obtain products with customised properties for ideal further recycling with the highest possible quality from used tyres.
