Billions of waste tires are generated globally each year. Traditional landfilling or incineration of waste land and releases toxins like dioxins and heavy metals. Pyrolysis technology converts tires into pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black (rCB), steel wire, and fuel gas through high-temperature, oxygen-free processing, achieving near-100% resource recovery. Represented by Niutech, Chinese pyrolysis equipment manufacturers are upgrading global tire recycling with proprietary technology, turning “end waste” into “urban mines” and offering “Chinese solutions” for the circular economy.
Pyrolysis: A Green Shift from Pollution to Resource
As a widely adopted solid waste solution, pyrolysis tackles tire pollution at its source, eases resource pressure, and advances circularity. Compared to landfilling or burning tires, pyrolysis:
- Recycles carbon(partially sequestered in rCB), lowering overall carbon intensity.
- Cuts emissions: Pyrolysis oil replaces fossil fuels, reducing indirect greenhouse gases.
- Saves resources: rCB substitutes virgin carbon black (energy-intensive to produce); steel wires recycle into smelting; conserving oil, coal, and iron ore.
Scaling Up for Impact
Large-scale pyrolysis is key to ending “black pollution” from tire stockpiles. It:
- Improves urban/rural environments and public safety.
- Eliminates fire risks and secondary pollution from illegal dumping.
Niutech’s automated continuous pyrolysis systems enable this shift: - 24/7 operation with sealed feeding and smart temperature control.
- Single-line capacity: Tens of thousands of tons/year.
Triple Value: Environment, Economy, Society
Tire pyrolysis stands out as the most sustainable solution globally due to its:
- Full resource recovery(oil, rCB, steel, gas).
- Environmental friendliness and economic viability.
- Critical role in eliminating pollution, advancing circularity, and supporting carbon peak/neutrality goals.
Niutech: Global Green Pioneer
