France recognises tyre pyrolysis oil as chemical industry feedstock

Pyrum Innovations AG processes scrap tyres using pyrolysis to produce pyrolysis oil, industrial carbon black and steel. The recognition in France highlights the increasing importance of standardised, reliable framework conditions for ramping up the market for recycled raw materials. 

In an environment where the chemical industry and the circular economy are growing closer together, clear regulatory categories are essential for companies to scale up investments, production and supply chains in the long term. 

Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: “The decision in France is an important step for the industrial use of pyrolysis oil from waste tyres. It supports a trend that we are seeing in many markets, where the chemical industry is seeking reliable, technologically robust and clearly classified alternative raw materials.” 

Pyrum will continue to closely monitor developments in France and the ongoing European discussion on the classification and use of recycled raw materials. The goal remains to scale up industrial recycling solutions for scrap tyres and to enable long-term, quality-assured purchase agreements with partners in the chemical industry.
