PYReco announced to the world their carbon black credentials at the Tire Technology Expo, Cologne.

2. “We need, and are poised
for, a new industrial and
energy revolution”

Executive Secretary,

3. • Founder Chairman Oxford Index
• Advisory Board Member of the UK High Temperature
Innovation Centre
• Collaborating with the Stockholm Environment
Institute on Carbon Foot printing
• Creator of a Carbon Neutral New Town proposal
submitted to the UK Government

4. Why burn or hide the waste?

5. • New Waste Regulations 2011 support tyre pyrolysis
• Legal requirement to employ the most environmentally responsible
recycling or disposal route for any waste
• Waste producers must observe ‘best’ process to deal with their wastes
DISPOSAL RECOVERY RECYCLING PREPARING PREVENTION
• the last resort • reclaiming • routing the FOR RE-USE • using best
if no use can some/all of waste for • routing the efforts to
be made of the waste (e.g. conversion waste for minimise the
the waste for energy) into another return to its generation of
product or original waste
formulation formulation

8. Utilising the rich, untapped resources of waste
tyres, PYReco is able to release the following
high quality ‘green’ products,
• PYReco® Carbon Black
• Oil
• Gas
• High Grade Steel
• Electricity

9.  externally applying heat to tyres in
a closed, oxygen free environment
 the tyres decompose, giving off
gas then oil
 leaving a mix of char and steel
which are then separated and
further refined

11. • 45,000 tons Carbon Black
• 575,000 barrels of Oil & Gas
• 15,000 tons Steel

12. ‘if its black it has carbon black in it’
• Reinforcing agent in tyres and rubber products
• Plastics
• Toners, Printing Inks and Electronic Components

13. The pyrolysing of just 50% of Europe’s annual rubber
waste would produce circa:
• 7,500,000 barrels of semi-refined diesel oil
• 7,500,000 barrels of oil equivalent of gas
• 1,000,000 tonnes of carbon black equivalent
(saving circa 15,000,000 barrels of oil)
• 350,000 tonnes of high tensile steel

14. • Potential for over 500Mw of electricity
• 5,000,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions saved (Carbon
Trust low estimate figures) but potentially
• 10,000,000 tonnes of CO2 saved according to
projections from the Stockholm Environment
Institute. Full research near completion
• For every 1 tonne of PYReco carbon black produced,
2 tonnes of CO2 saved
• All achieved with zero waste
1,000 tonnes of product into the process delivers
1,000 tonnes of usable material
