Klean Industries and Life for Tyres (L4T) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop a state-of-the-art tire pyrolysis plant in Japan. The plant aims to solve the country’s end-of-life tire problem through circular technologies and sustainable material recovery.

Vancouver, Canada — Klean Industries Inc (“Klean”), a leading company providing technologies and solutions to solve the global end-of-life tire issue, is pleased to announce that it has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with L4T Group Life for Tyres Ltd. (“L4T”). This global company develops, builds, and operates end-of-life tire manufacturing & pyrolysis facilities. Klean and L4T intend to explore a business relationship in which L4T and Klean collaborate by sharing their business strengths to develop and create integrated and holistic manufacturing & recycling solutions for the global marketplace, focusing on manufacturing sustainable commodities from end-of-life tires (“ELTs”).

Initial efforts will be directed to developing the first project to be located in the City of Koriyama (Fukushima prefecture), about 230km from central Tokyo, Japan. The companies intend to leverage their relationships with industry-leading participants, including supply chain partners, customers, and technology providers, to achieve the objectives outlined in the MOU. A significant component of the joint relationship will be using Klean’s and L4T’s technology in the project. Klean has a 20-year track record of working in Japan, where it has built reference tire pyrolysis plants and developed well-established relationships with feedstock and offtake supply chain partners that it will draw upon for introductions to L4T in support of the MOU. L4T is also firmly positioned in Japan, with its subsidiary L4T Japan G.K. and a strong network of partners, including one of the world’s largest suppliers of commodities.

Closing the loop of the life-cycle on ELTs is complete when the end-of-life tires are delivered to the processing plants where sustainable commodities such as recovered carbon black (“rCB”) and advanced biofuel feedstock are manufactured and re-distributed back into the rubber, chemical, and oil & gas manufacturing sectors. These sustainable commodities are reused to produce new green products with significantly lower carbon intensity throughout the manufacturing and production supply chain associated with the tire industry. All these activities will then be combined into the Klean Loop™, a SaaS blockchain technology, as a fully integrated system to track and trace all aspects of the tire life cycle. The patent pending Klean Loop™ platform will provide supply chain transparency, further enabling the supply chain partners to improve their financial and environmental performance measurably.

“We look forward to building upon our strong relationship with Klean Industries, joining our knowledge and expertise to grow and expand our business operations jointly. In L4T Group, we are firmly committed to accelerating the expansion of advanced manufacturing facilities, increasing installed capacities globally, and bringing added value to our stakeholders, clients, and investors. We believe this is possible only with dedication, hard work, and collaboration – something this signed MOU between Klean Industries and L4T Group represents,” said Tilen Milicevic, CEO of L4T Group Life For Tyres.

“This MOU establishes the framework and vision to drive growth not seen before in the tire pyrolysis sector with two well-established players. By joining forces with L4T Group, our common goal is to accelerate the deployment of advanced manufacturing facilities, and by doing so, we enable larger volumes of sustainable commodities to be produced from end-of-life tires. This partnership with L4T represents an important opportunity to support the circular tire industry. Our collaboration is a shining example of what can be done when partnering to create a symbiosis between opportunities, waste, resources, and energy while advancing the goal of zero waste to landfill,” commented Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO of Klean Industries Inc.

Transforming Tire Waste in Japan with Circular Innovation

Through this groundbreaking MOU, Klean Industries and L4T are partnering to deploy advanced tire pyrolysis solutions in Japan, converting millions of end-of-life tires into recovered carbon black, low-carbon fuels, and other sustainable commodities.

Why This Project Matters:

✅ Supports Japan’s waste reduction & carbon neutrality goals
✅ Creates high-value materials from ELT streams
✅ Reduces reliance on imported carbon black
✅ Enables tire manufacturers to close the loop

Partner with Klean Industries to support ELT recovery, license technology, or advance circular economy projects in Japan and beyond » GO.
