About Composite Recycling Ltd

About company

Composite Recycling has developed a commercially viable process for recycling whole tyres. The process uses molten zinc at 450 °C to recover pyrolysis oil and carbon black and steel in a sink-float separation. Their tyre recycling process significantly reduces the capital and operating costs of an industrial scale plant compared to the traditionally used rotary kiln processes, which are uneconomical as the tyres need to be shredded prior to processing. Moreover it takes less than 30 minutes to degrade a whole tyre.
