Pioneering Sustainable Solutions from End of Life tyres
Retyra Group AS aims to repurpose tyre-waste, reducing environmental impact and supporting sustainable development.
At Retyra Group, we are committed to transforming End of Life tires into valuable resources, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future. Our innovative process converts discarded tires into pyrolysis oil and carbon black, positioning us at the forefront of the circular economy and sustainability initiatives.
The Challenge
Every year, millions of tyres are discarded, creating significant environmental challenges. These waste materials, if not managed correctly, can lead to pollution and health hazards.
Our Solution
By using advanced pyrolysis technology, Retyra Group transforms end of life tyres into valuable pyrolysis oil and carbon black, which can be used as sustainable resources in various industries. This process not only reduces waste but also provides a renewable alternative to fossil fuels.
Our Impact
We are located in Finland with our headquarters in Norway, strategically positioned to manage tire waste on a regional scale. By utilizing local resources, we aim to make a significant impact on reducing tyre waste, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Commitment to Sustainability.
Our operations are deeply rooted in sustainability principles and the circular economy. By converting waste into resources, we are helping to close the loop on tyre waste management, promoting a world where waste is minimized and resources are maximized.
Over 1 billion tyres are discarded globally each year. Retyra Group AS aims to repurpose a significant portion of tyre-waste, reducing environmental impact and supporting sustainable development.
