The journey of a tire doesn’t end when it’s worn out. At The BioCarburante Company, we’re committed to transforming end-of-life tires into valuable resources using innovative pyrolysis technology. Imagine four old tires bumping down the road, headed for a landfill. The sky shifts from dark and dreary to clean and fresh as these tires morph into green recovered carbon black (rCB) and then transform into new, sustainable tires. This circular journey is the essence of our commitment to a greener future.
The Power of Pyrolysis: Carbon Neutral, Circular, and Planet-Friendly
Our advanced pyrolysis technology offers a sustainable way to break down used tires into reusable by-products, such as pyrolysis oil, gas, and recovered carbon black. This process doesn’t just prevent tires from ending up in landfills—it actively reduces CO₂ emissions, conserves natural resources, and decreases the reliance on virgin carbon black. With The BioCarburante Company’s process, we offer measurable environmental benefits, transforming waste into resources that drive industry toward a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
Environmental Benefits of the TBIOCC Process
- State-of-the-Art Sustainable Technology: Our pyrolysis technology minimizes environmental impact and enables tire-to-rCB-to-tire recycling.
- Sustainable Fuel Substitution: By using renewable fuels and circular chemicals, we cut down on fossil fuel usage.
- Substantial CO₂ Reduction: Each tire processed with pyrolysis avoids significant CO₂ emissions, helping our planet breathe a little easier.
- Preventing Incineration and Landfilling: Our process reduces landfill waste, lowering soil and water pollution.
Addressing the Impact of Tire Waste: From Landfills to Resource Conservation
Traditional tire disposal methods, including landfilling and incineration, create numerous environmental issues. Discarded tires in landfills occupy valuable space, serve as breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes, and are prone to fires that release harmful pollutants. Tire recycling through pyrolysis presents a sustainable alternative, dramatically reducing human toxicity, ozone depletion, and the depletion of fossil fuels and minerals.
How Pyrolysis Reduces CO₂ and Supports Sustainability
The CO₂ reduction potential of pyrolysis varies based on factors like tire composition, process efficiency, and how the by-products are used. Here’s how pyrolysis contributes to a smaller carbon footprint:
- Energy Recovery: The oil and gas from pyrolysis can be used as sustainable fuels, replacing fossil fuels and reducing CO₂ emissions.
- Material Recovery: Recovered carbon black from pyrolysis displaces the need for new carbon black production, which is CO₂-intensive.
- Landfill Emission Avoidance: Tires in landfills emit methane over time. By recycling them through pyrolysis, we avoid these emissions.
- Carbon Sequestration: The char left from pyrolysis can serve as a carbon sequestration method, capturing carbon for longer-term use.
For instance, processing four tires (about 40 kg) through pyrolysis could prevent approximately 48-100 kg of CO₂ emissions, considering the combination of avoided landfill emissions and fossil fuel displacement. This process not only minimizes greenhouse gas emissions but also aligns with global efforts to combat climate change.
Tire Wear and Environmental Impact: Addressing Microplastic and Air Pollution
Every year, millions of tires release wear particles into the environment, contributing to ocean microplastic pollution and poor air quality. Tire fragments, synthetic rubbers, and road debris make up as much as 10% of microplastic pollution in oceans, affecting aquatic ecosystems and human health. Additionally, tire particles contribute to up to 7% of airborne particulate matter, exacerbating respiratory issues and impacting overall public health.
Choosing a Sustainable Future with TBIOCC
At The BioCarburante Company, we prioritize sustainability, soil health, and the well-being of future generations. Our pyrolysis technology and circular approach enable us to convert end-of-life tires into valuable resources, reduce landfill waste, and curb greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing recovered carbon black, companies can meet their sustainability goals and support the transition to a circular economy in the tire industry.
