It is a first world problem – what to do with your old electronics when you upgrade? Stick them in a drawer or toss them in the bin? In our gadget-obsessed society, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is one of the fastest growing waste streams. Every year millions of tonnes of electronics…
We have published a paper in Horizon 2020 Projects: Portal – Issue 10, pages 238-239. The paper can be downloaded under: http://www.horizon2020publications.com/H10/ and describes how our tyre recycling process can recycle whole tyres within 30 minutes.

Abstract: Pyrolysis of scrap tyres is a promising technology to recover valuable materials such as pyrolysis liquids, carbon black and steel. Pyrolysis liquids are complex mixtures of organic compounds and may represent a valuable source for chemicals.
Composite Recycling was awarded Phase 1 H2020 funding for its application entitled “TyRec process: Whole Tyre Recycling within 30 minutes with Molten Zinc – towards a circular economy”

The objective of the method was to prove the concept of a novel waste PCBs recycling process which uses inert, stable molten salts as the direct heat transfer fluid and, simultaneously, uses this molten salt to separate the metal products in either liquid (solder, zinc, tin, lead, […]
