In our cardominated world, a hidden environmental crisis grows: Over 1 billion scrap tires pile up globally each year—a stack taller than Mount Everest. This “black pollution” occupies vast land and contaminates soil and water if mishandled.
At a Brazilian tire recycling base, shredded tires travel via conveyor into pyrolysis reactors. Through high-temperature magic, they transform into:
Pyrolysis oil
Carbon black
Steel wire
Fuel gas
These outputs reenter industrial cycles:
→ Oil feeds refineries
→ Steel wire recycles into smelting
→ Carbon black becomes rubber feedstock
→ Fuel gas powers the plant itself
This “fromtiresbacktotires” chain redefines resource lifecycles. It pioneers a new waste-to-energy path.
The technology comes from Niutech, a global supplier of intelligent pyrolysis systems.
01 Pyrolysis: Achieving Zero Waste from Tires
Pyrolysis is the optimal tire recycling solution due to its revolutionary efficiency and eco-benefits. Tire fragments decompose in a slightly negative-pressure environment. Every component is fully utilized, achieving a true zero-waste goal.
Energy self-sufficiency comes from recycled fuel gas, forming a closed loop. Compared to landfills or incineration, it slashes carbon footprints by >60%, ending tire pollution permanently.
Pyrolysis isn’t just recycling—it’s the ultimate sustainable, scalable circular solution.
02 Global Benchmark: Niutech’s Worldwide Impact
With 40 years in pyrolysis, Niutech sets the global standard. As the first STAR Market-listed pyrolysis firm, it holds 100+ international patents. Its equipment passes stringent EU CE, German TÜV, and ISCC certifications. Niutech leads China’s national pyrolysis standards.
Its global footprint spans four continents:
Europe: German projects meet EU ecostandards; Hungary hosts an EU demonstration site.
Asia: Operates effectively in Thailand, Malaysia, and India.
In 2024, Niutech partnered with Hesheng GreenTech to launch the world’s largest tire recycling base—Shandong, China (200,000 tons/year). This project systematically applies pyrolysis outputs (oil, carbon black, steel) across fuel processing, rubber products, and steelmaking—creating a new “tire-to-tire” circular model.
03 Dual Benefits: EcoEconomic Synergy
Tire pyrolysis delivers twin victories:
Environmental: 100% tire recovery rate, converting “black pollution” into clean energy/industrial feedstocks.
→ Processes 10,000 tons of tires = cuts 11,000 tons of CO₂
Economic: High-value carbon black applications break industry profit barriers, enabling uses in rubber, construction, and beyond.
Global giants now invest in pyrolysis. Niutech’s tech evolves from tire processing to integrated waste management—powering “zerowaste cities.”
