Pyrum Innovations AG together with the recycling company REMONDIS, announced the launch for the planning of a Pyrum plant to recycle end-of-life tyres (ELT). For this purpose, a letter of intent was recently signed. The plant is to be located on a Weserport site in Bremen, a subsidiary of REMONDIS' sister company RHENUS.

It will have a recycling capacity of 20,000 tonnes of ELT per year from which the raw material, carbon black, will be recovered. It is planned that Pyrum will start preparing the approval documents required for construction in the next few weeks, which should be submitted in the first half of 2024. The investment volume for the new plant amounts to approximately EUR 40 million.

Pyrum can thus further expand the pipeline for the construction of pyrolysis plants. In addition to the projected own plant in Saarland, there are currently five plants in the concrete planning and approval phase in cooperation with various partners.
