Pyrolysis: Exploring Opportunities and Challenges - Report

Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that breaks down end-of-life (EOL) tyres in a closed, oxygen-free environment, producing outputs like oil, gas, and char. While globally recognized, its adoption in Australia remains limited.

The reports commissioned by Tyre Stewardship Australia delve into:

• The current status of tyre pyrolysis technologies in Australia and worldwide
• Challenges related to technology development, product quality, and market acceptance
• Regulatory considerations, public perception, and environmental impacts
• Opportunities for integrating pyrolysis into Australia's circular economy for tyres
