PYReco Zerowaste Process

Business
For the avoidance of doubt PYRecos Zerowaste Process (PZP) does not produce products derived from tyre or plastics waste, such as tyre bales, shred, crumb or granules. These processes simply delay the eventual and inevitable need for landfill. The PYRecos Zerowaste Process actually liberates the core materials used to produce the product. The materials will be used directly to process new rubber and plastic products. For further explanatory information please refer to the Tyre Generic Exposure Scenario, End of Life Tyre Guidance. Prepared for the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers Association, Brussels, Belgium. Longterm Outlook The Teesside site will eventually accommodate a total of four calciners/kilns and their ancillary equipment. It is anticipated that this installation will be completed within two years of phase one. As the construction of the first plant commences, PYReco will be looking to identify suitable sites for expansion in Europe. Likely candidates include the Low Countries, Italy, France, Germany and Poland with sufficient demand for several plants. Germany is particularly attractive on account of the favourable electricity tariffs. EU statistics confirm that there is capacity for PYReco to establish up to 10 plants across Europe. The longterm outlook for the tyre manufacturing industry, and therefore tyre disposal, is for continued growth. At the same time and so long as the political pressure on climatechange is maintained, technological solutions such as PYRecos will remain at the forefront of the agenda. Growing demand for energy will produce acute problems for the UK in particular, where Government sources are predicting an energy crunch forecast for 2015 onwards. Electricity prices should continue to rise, and the ROC regime or something similar can be expected to operate beyond the time horizon of the BERRs White Paper. Environmental Impact Air and water pollution will be minimal. PYRecos low emission plant makes it one of the cleanest processes in the region. The plant will be compliant with the European Union Waste Incineration Directive (WID).
