Pioneering the Circular Economy in Tyre Recovery
Innovative UK-Based Pyrolysis Plant
Using proven innovative technology, we transform tyre waste into high-value products
ELTR is at the forefront of the sustainable revolution. We specialise in the transformation of End-of-Life tyre waste into an array of high-value products that redefine waste management.
Our process is built upon a foundation of expertise and experience, ensuring that every tyre we process contributes to a more sustainable future. Through our commitment to innovation, we're not just transforming tyre waste; we're transforming the way society views and manages its resources.
1.5 Billion Tyres are Discarded Per Annum Globally
The world faces a massive issue with tyre waste, discarding over 1.5 billion tyres per year. This poses serious environmental issues, as poorly managed tyres lead to disease, fires and the leaching of toxic pollutants in soil.
Pyrolysis holds the key to recovering the full materials in End-of-Life tyres
With our expertise in Pyrolysis, we are able to reuse the full materials of End-of-Life tyres, extracting : TPO (Tyre Pyrolysis Oil), rCB (recovered Carbon Black), Syngas and Steel.
ELTR gathers End-of-Life tyres from various sources, such as used automobile tires, industrial scrap and discarded rubber products.
Before the tyres are subjected to the main process, we extract others elements from the tyres including:
Steel: The recovered steel can be used again in tyre manufacturing.
Textiles: The fabric within tyres can be used in the aggregate industry.

Collecting Tyres
Collected tyres are subjected to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen within ELTR’s plant. The absence of oxygen prevents combustion and allows the tyres to undergo thermal decomposition. As the temperature increases, the complex organic compounds present in the tyres break down into simpler molecules, including gases, liquids and solid char.

Pyrolysis
TPO (Tyre Pyrolysis Oil):
Tyre Pyrolysis Oil can be used as fuel or refined into higher-value goods, acting as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels.
rCB (recovered Carbon Black):
It is generally used to provide physical and mechanical characteristics in rubber products, typically tyres, but can also act as a pigment, UV stabiliser, and conductive or insulating agent in a variety of rubber, plastic, ink and coating applications.
Syngas: A mixture of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen produced during pyrolysis that serves as energy or chemical resources.
