Tire Recycling Plant

Pyrum Innovations AG has signed its first external plant purchase agreement to supply thermolysis technology for a new tire recycling plant planned in Sokolov, Czech Republic.

A First External Plant Purchase Agreement

Pyrum Innovations AG and SUAS reTire s.r.o. have signed a plant purchase agreement covering delivery of Pyrum’s thermolysis technology to the planned facility in Sokolov. The contract is Pyrum’s first plant purchase agreement for an external site outside its own operations, signalling a shift from running its own plants toward licensing its technology through joint-venture structures across Europe. Pyrum holds a 49% stake in the venture, formed with SUAS Ecology s.r.o.

Fully Financed and Scheduled for Spring 2028

SUAS reTire s.r.o., the joint venture responsible for developing, building and operating the Czech tire recycling plant, has also concluded loan agreements with its financing bank. Pyrum reports the project is now fully financed, with an initial payment under the purchase agreement expected in the coming weeks. Commissioning of the facility is scheduled for spring 2028, with earlier project information identifying the Vřesová industrial complex as the site.

Thermolysis Turns End-of-Life Tires Into Recovered Carbon Black

Pyrum’s thermolysis process converts end-of-life tires into secondary raw materials including ThermoTireOil®, a circular feedstock for the chemical industry, and ThermoTireBlack®, a recovered carbon black product suited to new industrial applications. The technology recovers valuable materials from waste tires and keeps them in the material cycle, supporting lower-emission recycling that partners in the tire, chemical and industrial sectors can take up directly. The process is designed to keep recovered material inside the loop rather than sending it to landfill or incineration.

What the Czech Project Means for Tire Pyrolysis Markets

The Sokolov facility is expected to strengthen circular-economy infrastructure for end-of-life tires in Central Europe. Projects of this kind show how feedstock supply, financing, technology licensing and downstream offtake now determine whether a tire recycling plant is commercially viable — the same factors that shape recovered carbon black and pyrolysis oil markets more broadly. For developers weighing a comparable build, early feasibility studies de-risk the financing and offtake questions before capital is committed. As more European operators license proven thermolysis technology, regional supply chains for recovered carbon black and tire-derived oil stand to deepen.
