Uddevalla Tyre Pyrolysis Project Advances Toward Completion


Tyre Pyrolysis Project

A tyre pyrolysis project in Uddevalla, Sweden continues toward completion as developer Infiniteria advances the facility despite an ongoing dispute with its technology licensor, Scandinavian Enviro.

Project Development Continues

Despite the unresolved arbitration between the two companies, construction and development of the Uddevalla plant have not stalled. Infiniteria has confirmed that the facility is wholly owned by Infiniteria, signalling a clear commitment to bringing the project into operation. Neither party has commented publicly on the specifics of the case, but the project itself continues on its path toward completion, and work at the site is expected to carry on as planned.

Technology Access Through a Licence Agreement

Infiniteria holds exclusive rights to Scandinavian Enviro’s patented pyrolysis technology in Europe under a licence agreement. That arrangement gives the project access to an established process for converting end-of-life tyres into valuable secondary materials, even while the commercial relationship between the two companies remains the subject of a separate dispute. Licensing proven technology is a common route for developers who want to shorten the time to first production rather than building a process from the ground up.

Recovering Value From End-of-Life Tyres

Tyre pyrolysis plants like the one taking shape in Uddevalla recover value from a difficult waste stream. The process heats shredded tyres in the absence of oxygen, breaking them down into pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black, and recovered steel. Each output has a downstream market, making the approach a meaningful step toward circularity in the tyre sector. Because end-of-life tyres are bulky, energy-dense, and notoriously hard to landfill, thermal recovery offers a practical alternative to stockpiling or disposal that keeps those materials in productive use.

Why Feasibility Matters

Projects of this scale hinge on careful planning. Before committing capital, developers typically commission feasibility studies to confirm feedstock supply, permitting, and offtake arrangements. Securing a steady stream of tyres, a permitted site, and buyers for the recovered products can make the difference between a plant that runs profitably and one that stalls after commissioning. Regulatory and environmental approvals also take time, so early due diligence shortens the path to first production. For operators weighing a similar plant, understanding what tyre pyrolysis involves is the essential first step on the road to a workable facility.
