It’s a long road and 2GB efforts to convert End of Life tyres (ELTs) into biofuel using Enviro’s technology moved forward in 2015 when it gained approval from the Department for Transport to use ELTs as a biofuel feedstock, based on the natural rubber they contain. In early 2019, RISE, working with Enviro and Ragn […]
Scandinavian Enviro Systems has been declared winner in the Tyre Pyrolysis Award category at the new international event Recircle Awards. The Recircle Awards have been instituted by leading international players in the rubber and tyre industry to raise the profile of companies contributing to the development of a global circular economy in this key sector. […]
2G BioPOWER, in partnership with Optimus Services Ltd (OSL), has secured £200k from Innovate UK towards a feasibility study into the large-scale deployment of Enviro’s tyre recovery technology for end-of-life tyres in the UK. The objectives include investigating the potential uses of the oil and carbon black that can be recovered from tyres. Every year the […]
Regenerated Carbon Black & MotoE™ MotoE brings sustainable racing to two wheels. Not only are the bikes electric, but the tyre-supplier, Michelin, is using sustainable materials in MotoE tyre fabrication. Michelin, which has recently taken a 20% share in Scandinavian Enviro Systems, has already incorporated bio and/or regenerated materials (such as Enviro rCB) in MotoE […]

It is a fundamental mistake to equate the business cases and drivers of a tyre pyrolysis business with that of a waste-to-energy business. A waste-to-energy plant gains 60% of its revenue from gate fees and has an easy-to-sell product. A tyre pyrolysis project gains perhaps 10% of its revenue from gate fees and has specialist […]
Scandinavian Enviro Systems and Michelin have agreed a strategic partnership, with Michelin taking a 20% stake in Enviro. Key aspects of the partnership are deploying Enviro’s technology at a larger scale, and a supply agreement between the two parties. This is a strategic change for Enviro providing it with the platform to deploy its technology […]
“Whatever you do don’t think about a white elephant”.. an old psychological trick which, of course, immediately raises this very image in your mind. Bart Kalkstein, president, reinforcement materials at Cabot Corp, may have inadvertently employed this mechanism when ‘dissing’ recovered Carbon Black(rCB). “Whatever you do, don’t think that rCB can be used in tyres”……. […]
The production of tyres consumes roughly 70% of all the carbon black produced. It therefore also presents a massive market for recovered Carbon Black. Equally gaining the interest and focus of major rubber manufacturers is also key. Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) has made progress with both of these objectives by securing orders for its recovered […]
Some may have heard of the term ‘well to wheel’ which refers to accounting emissions from the oil well to the point where its energy has been used to turn the wheel of vehicle. Rather ironically the tyre on that very wheel could also be converted into transport fuel which is partially renewable, and thus […]
