France Recognises Pyrolysis Oil from Waste Tyres as Raw Material

France has officially acknowledged pyrolysis oil from end-of-life tyres as a viable raw material for the chemical industry. This approval marks a significant step for Pyrum Innovations AG, increasing the predictability and connectivity of tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) within chemical value chains. The decision supports Pyrum's role as a reliable supplier of recycled materials.

Pyrum Innovations AG processes waste tyres to produce pyrolysis oil, industrial carbon black, and steel. The French regulatory endorsement highlights the importance of standardised conditions for the recycling market. As chemical industries integrate more closely with circular economies, such classifications are crucial for future investments and supply chain expansions.

Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum, emphasises the importance of this decision for industrial use. Pyrum aims to expand recycling solutions and secure lasting agreements with chemical partners.
