Pyrum Innovations and SUEZ team up to build Pyrum’s first UK pyrolysis plant

In the UK, Pyrum Innovations and SUEZ recycling and recovery UK Ltd have entered into a one-year exclusivity agreement to build Pyrum’s first pyrolysis plant in the UK.

Under the terms of the agreement, the utility, which is active in water and waste management, will determine the site for the first plant over the next 12 months and, with support from Pyrum, will begin the permitting process. SUEZ bears the costs for the approval process. The planned plant is to be equipped with three pyrolysis reactors and thus have a recycling capacity of around 20,000 tons of old tires per year. After successful approval, the first plant is to be built.
