Types of End-of-life Tyre
Beston Group’s tyre pyrolysis plant is suitable for all kinds of tyres. In fact, tyres are a composite material resource. It is composed of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, steel, additives and other materials. Here are some common types of end-of-life tyres：
Passenger Tyre
Passenger tyres are the most common tire type. It is used for motorcycles, small and medium-sized family cars and other passenger vehicles. They are usually disposed of by tyre recycling centres.
OTR(Off-the-Road) Tyre
OTR tyres are specially designed for heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and loaders. They are used in construction sites, mining industry, exploration, agriculture, and other heavy industries.
Commercial Tyres
Commercial tyres are used on commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses, and vans. They are typically designed for commercial applications such as long-distance transportation, trucking, etc.
Tyre Manufacturing Waste
These wastes mainly include scraps generated during tyre manufacturing. Additionally, some expired tyres are included. Usually, they come from the tyre manufacturers.
Versatile Applications of Tyre Pyrolysis Products
Waste tire pyrolysis plant uses thermochemical reactions to break down waste tires into pyrolysis oil (liquid), carbon black or steel wire (solid), and syngas (gas). This process significantly improves waste reduction efficiency. The resulting products are reused in energy and manufacturing industries, turning waste into valuable resources and achieving 100% recycling.
Naphtha & Non-standard Diesel
- Naphtha: Used in plastic manufacturing; as industrial and laboratory solvent; as a gasoline blending component.
- Non-standard Diesel: Used to generate electricity; as fuel for boilers, furnaces, marine and construction machinery.
Steel wires
- Tyre reuse: Reused in tyre production as eco-friendly material;
- Metal reprocessing: Reprocessed into other metal products for sale;
- Construction usage: The recycled iron wire can be used in construction and infrastructure projects, such as manufacturing rebars.
rCB
- Industrial usage: Carbon black can be directly used in the production of cement, asphalt, inks, coatings;
- Further processing: rCB can be further processing into N330, N550 and N660 carbon black;
- Additive: Used as an additive in asphalt mixtures, printing ink, black dye, paint, etc.
Syngas
- Energy supply: It can be recycled to provide heat source for tyre pyrolysis after purification;
- Other use: Collect separately for other uses.

What is Tyre Pyrolysis Process?
01 Tyre Feeding
02 Tyre Pyrolysis – Oil Formation
Pyrolysis oil: The oil gas produced by pyrolysis first pass through the manifold. The manifold separates oil gas and heavy oil with a lower freezing point. Heavy oil enters the sludge oil tank. The oil gas enters the oil condenser and is liquefied into tyre pyrolysis oil. Pyrolysis oil falls into oil storage tank.
03 Combustible Gas Recovery
04 Carbon Black Collection
05 Exhaust Gas Treatment
Pyrolysis Vs. Other Tyre Recycling Methods
Existing tyre recycling methods mainly include rubber powder production, TDF(tyre-derived fuel) production, and use as construction fill material. These methods break down tyres into smaller-sized rubber products. However, waste tyres are not decomposed from the physical composition. Below is a comparison of these recycling methods with tyre to oil.

Pyrolysis Drives Industry Shift in Tire Recycling
Enables Systematic Tire Recycling
Pyrolysis offers a scalable solution for managing large volumes of end-of-life tires, transitioning tire disposal from fragmented collection to an integrated processing system.
Supports Circular Supply Chains
By converting waste tires into reusable industrial materials, pyrolysis plays a key role in establishing closed-loop supply chains across the rubber and fuel industries.
Aligns with EPR and Global Policy Trends
As more countries adopt landfill bans and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, tyre pyrolysis plant offers a compliant, low-emission solution with added benefits like green financing potential.
Economic and Environmental Benefits of Tyre Pyrolysis Plant
Avoid Negative Environmental Impacts
- Fire Risk: Scrap tyres are flammable hazardous waste. When burned, tyre release toxic dioxins, benzopyrene, and other harmful substances. Pyrolysis treatment decomposes waste tyres in an Non-flammable environment. Also, pyrolysis products are properly stored.
- Water Pollution: Waste tires piled up near water sources will produce harmful leachate. These harmful substances seep into groundwater or rivers, polluting water sources. In particular, tyre pyrolysis process can effectively avoid these pollution from tyre accumulation
Optimize Waste Management System
- Waste Reduction: Tyre pyrolysis plant can reduce the volume of tyres by 70%. As a result, this alleviates the management burden caused by tyre land occupation and stacking. This not only reduces the recycling pressure but also reduces transportation and storage costs.
- Waste Resource Utilization: Tyre pyrolysis products can be directly supplied to upstream & downstream industries. They can be applied directly or processed into more valuable products. This resource recycling method promotes the circular economy.
Enriching Traditional Energy Structure
- Alternative Fuel: Tyre pyrolysis oil is an alternative fuel with high energy density. In addition, after converting to non-standard diesel by distillation, it has widely use in heavy machinery, transportation, etc. Thus, waste tire pyrolysis machine promotes fuel diversity.
- Energy Transformation: Traditional fossil fuels, such as coal/natural gas/oil, are non-renewable. Pyrolysis oil production can reduce dependence on them. Meanwhile, it also reduces carbon emissions from resource mining, promoting energy transformation.
Create New Revenue Model
- Pyrolysis Product Sales: Tyre pyrolysis products are widely used in various fields and have high trading value. In particular, in recent years, the market demand for tire pyrolysis carbon black, as a raw material for the production of rCB (recovered Carbon Black), has continued to grow.
- Waste Treatment Income: Through large-scale production, investors can establish tyre pyrolysis recycling centers locally. As a result, investors can charge processing fees to tyre manufacturers, waste recycling centers, and municipal waste management to obtain income.
