Enviro plans network of tyre recycling hubs

Swedish Tyre Recycling (SDAB) is to deliver end-of-life tyres (ELTs) to a pyrolysis plant under construction in Uddevalla, Sweden.

Not-for-profit SDAB has signed a contract with Scandinavian Enviro Systems and Antin Infrastructure Partners who are building the facility. The partnership between involves providing a ‘significant’ proportion of the annual total of the ELTs collected in Sweden. Feedstock will be delivered at the start of 2025 when the site becomes operational.

The new tyre recycling facility will rely on proprietary technology developed by Enviro. This allows tyres to be sorted and processed into recovered Carbon Black (rCB) as well as pyrolysis oil.

‘We are pleased to have been trusted to deliver to this innovative plant being built in Sweden, which maintains high standards for quality and delivery reliability,’ says SDAB ceo Fredrik Ardefors. ‘We are investing significant resources into building this flagship industrial-scale ELT recycling plant.’

The new facility north of Gothenburg is the first of many Scandinavian Enviro Systems plans to build across Europe. It is said to represent ‘the highest standard of excellence’ towards creating a more sustainable tyre recycling sector.
