Pyrum Innovations AG is an innovative recycling and plant construction company based in Germany, France and Luxembourg. The worldwide patented Pyrum recycling process is unique and can not be compared to any existing recycling process. The Pyrum Innovations Group is primarily engaged in the development, construction and operation of proprietary recycling technologies in the waste tyre, plastic waste, CFRP, minerals, bitumen and other complex waste industries. For the first time, the company succeeded in reducing waste tyres to their valuable raw materials oil, coke and gas using controlled thermolysis. While oil and coke are sold, the recovered gas is used to operate its own combined heat and power plant. A real system of circulation, in which raw materials are circulated, recovered and returned to the economic cycle. The recycling process presented here is marketed worldwide and delivered turnkey.
