At ELT Recovery Ltd, we are at the forefront of sustainable innovation, dedicated to revolutionising the way we manage End-of-Life Tyres. Our company is committed to environmental stewardship and the creation of renewable products through the cutting-edge process of pyrolysis.

About ELTR

Our objective is simple: to help the UK with its transition to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 by facilitating the domestic growth of renewables

We invite you to join us on our journey to transform the way we perceive and manage End-of-Life Tyres. By embracing pyrolysis and innovative thinking, we are shaping a future where sustainability and resourcefulness coexist harmoniously. Together, we can redefine the life cycle of tyres and create a greener, more sustainable world for generations to come

1.5 Billion Tyres are Discarded Per Annum Globally

The world faces a massive issue with tyre waste, discarding over 1.5 billion tyres per year. This poses serious environmental issues, as poorly managed tyres lead to disease, fires and the leaching of toxic pollutants in soil.

Pyrolysis holds the key to recovering the full materials in End-of-Life tyres 

With our expertise in Pyrolysis, we are able to reuse the full materials of End-of-Life tyres, extracting : TPO (Tyre Pyrolysis Oil), rCB (recovered Carbon Black), Syngas and Steel.

Collecting Tyres

1

ELTR gathers End-of-Life tyres from various sources, such as used automobile tyres, industrial scrap and discarded rubber products.

Before the tyres are subjected to the main process, we extract others elements from the tyres including:

  • Steel: The recovered steel can be used again in tyre manufacturing.

  • Textiles: The fabric within tyres can be used in the aggregate industry.  

Pyrolysis

Collected tyres are subjected to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen within ELTR’s plant. The absence of oxygen prevents combustion and allows the tyres to undergo thermal decomposition. As the temperature increases, the complex organic compounds present in the tyres break down into simpler molecules, including gases, liquids and solid char.

Extraction

  • TPO (Tyre Pyrolysis Oil):

    Tyre Pyrolysis Oil can be used as fuel or refined into higher-value goods, acting as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

  • rCB (recovered Carbon Black):

    It is generally used to provide physical and mechanical characteristics in rubber products, typically tyres, but can also act as a pigment, UV stabiliser, and conductive or insulating agent in a variety of rubber, plastic, ink and coating applications.

  • Syngas: A mixture of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen produced during pyrolysis that serves as energy or chemical resources.
