Tyre recycler Pyrum Innovations says it has received unlimited delivery approval from tyre manufacturer Continental for its ThermoTireBlack (TTB; rCB) produced at the new milling and pelletizing plant at its headquarters in Dillingen/Saar. As a result, Continental has now officially commissioned all the facilities from the plant expansion at Pyrum’s main plant.
Already in April 2026, the milling and pelletizing plant was transitioned to regular production operations at a capacity of 750 kg/hour. As part of this process, Pyrum conducted a short-term capability analysis. This analysis demonstrated that ThermoTireBlack ensures consistent process conditions and
stable, reproducible product quality.
Based on this, Continental has granted full supply approval for ThermoTireBlack (TTB) from the new milling and pelletizing plant following an audit.
In particular, the tyre manufacturer highlighted the new machine’s short-term performance (Ppk). The audit was conducted to approve the TTB for use in tyre production at Continental. Following the approval granted in 2024 for the shredding plant as well as the new TAD2 and TAD3 thermolysis reactors, Pyrum
now has full supply approval for the entire plant in Dillingen/Saar.
Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations, said, “We are proud to meet the automotive industry’s high standards and to further expand our close and trusting partnership with Continental. With the
approval of the new plant, we are laying the foundation for further growth and a significant increase in revenue in the current year.”
Through additional improvement measures the target maximum TTB production volume is expected to be achieved following a modification of the milling and pelletising plant in the third quarter of 2026.
With the new plant, Pyrum is significantly expanding its production capacity for ThermoTireBlack.
