Over 1 billion waste tires are generated globally each year. Traditional methods like landfilling or burning are harmful. They take up land and release pollutants like dioxins and heavy metals. Tire particles cause 80% of ocean microplastic pollution.

Recently, pyrolysis technology has changed tire recycling. Pyrolysis uses high heat without oxygen. It breaks down waste tires into useful products. These products are: pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black (rCB), steel wire, and fuel gas. This achieves nearly 100% resource recovery.

Chinese manufacturers like Niutech lead this change. They use core technology to upgrade tire recycling plants worldwide. They turn “end waste” into “urban mines”. This drives a global green market worth billions.

I. Advantages of Pyrolysis Technology

   Technical Edge: Continuous pyrolysis systems are efficient and innovative. They are much better than old methods. They recycle tires safely, steadily, and effectively. Niutech’s self-developed system is an example. It uses fully automated, sealed feeding. It has smart temperature control. It runs non-stop for 24 hours. One line can process tens of thousands of tons per year. PLC or computer systems monitor temperature, pressure, and material status in real-time. This allows precise control. It cuts energy use. It needs fewer workers. Equipment lasts longer.

   Environmental Benefits: It offers value in three ways:

       Pollution prevention.

       Resource recycling.

       Carbon emission reduction.

   Economic Value – High-Value Products: Pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black (rCB) have many uses. They hold high economic value.

   Social Benefits: Pyrolysis solves the “black pollution” problem from waste tires. It improves the environment. It saves land. It enhances city landscapes.

II. Global Leaders in Tire Pyrolysis: Niutech

Niutech is a pioneer in waste tire pyrolysis. Its equipment operates in over 30 countries. These include Germany, Denmark, the USA, Brazil, and South Korea. In 2024, Niutech won the BRICS Industrial Innovation Contest “Low-Carbon Technology” International Excellence Award. Its technology is “world-leading”.

Niutech’s tire pyrolysis oil has ISCC-EU/PLUS certification. This makes it a top choice for EU companies under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

Niutech led the creation of China’s pyrolysis industry standards. It holds over 110 patents. It solved major global problems like dynamic sealing during pyrolysis and product polymerization.

In China, Niutech built the world’s largest waste tire processing base. It handles 200,000 tons per year. It explores an “equipment + operation” business model.

   The EU project is a model for the region.

   The Brazil project turns waste tires into “urban mines”.

   The India project processes 30,000 tons per year. It solves “black pollution” and supplies pyrolysis oil to local refineries.

By 2030, global processing capacity is expected to exceed 5 million tons. This will create a green industry worth billions. Niutech’s continuous, smart, high-end pyrolysis equipment reshapes the fate of waste tires. Thanks to innovation, humanity is winning the battle against “black pollution”. A circular future is dawning.
