The treatment of scrap tires is no longer simply a matter of "waste reduction" but is progressively evolving toward the pursuit of "high-value utilization."
In the foreseeable future, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is considered the most realistic and viable pathway for achieving carbon neutrality in the aviation sector.
The scrap tire recycling industry is demonstrating immense commercial potential. From a global perspective, the market size for tire pyrolysis products was approximately $2.253 billion in 2024 and is projected to double to $4.759 billion by 2033.
Waste-to-energy systems, which convert waste plastics into fuel oil and energy products, are emerging as a critical pathway to overcoming the plastic pollution dilemma.
The significance of tire recycling innovation extends far beyond technological breakthroughs; it also carries profound implications for the environment, economy, and social development.
Pyrolysis technology, represented by equipment manufacturers like Niutech, breaks high-polymer molecular chains into small-molecule products through thermal decomposition, and is emerging as a core pathway to solving polymer recycling challenges.
Compared with traditional scrap tire recycling methods, pyrolysis technology can convert nearly 100% of scrap tires into high-value-added products, truly achieving a closed-loop conversion "from tires to energy."
These explicit requirements for recycled materials have made the recycling and reuse of waste plastics an essential component for plastic packaging, with plastic pyrolysis technology—as the core pathway of chemical recycling—playing a pivotal role in the circular utilization of waste plastics.
