What Reoil Sp. z o.o. does

Reoil Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish industrial company headquartered in Myślenice, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, operating Europe's largest plant for end-of-life tyre recycling through proprietary continuous pyrolysis technology. Founded between 2013 and 2016, the company processes approximately 30,000 tons of end-of-life tyres annually at its Bukowno facility and converts them into four saleable outputs: Tire Pyrolysis Oil (8,600 tons/year capacity), Recovered Carbon Black (6,400 tons/year), recovered steel (2,600 tons/year), and recovered textiles (400 tons/year). Its pyrolysis platform is described as the world's first plant operating in continuous mode for this application, supported by an in-house R&D department and complete process control systems that enable stabilized production and consistent product quality.

The business model combines direct B2B commodity sales via long-term off-take contracts with technology deployment through a strategic EPC partnership. TPO and rCB are sold under long-term contracts to chemical, petrochemical, and tyre manufacturing customers, including a 2022 partnership with Sumitomo Rubber Industries (Dunlop and Falken owner) for rCB commercialization. A 2019 partnership with Zeppelin Systems AG enables global turnkey plant construction under EPC contracts, transforming Reoil's know-how into a licensable technology offering. The company holds the world's first REACH registration for pyrolysis oil exceeding 1,000 tons/year, alongside ISCC EU, ISCC PLUS, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications that underpin its sustainability positioning. With three consecutive profitable years reported through 2023 and a second 60,000-ton plant under construction, Reoil is transitioning from a single-site Polish operator into a scaled European circular-economy platform with global licensing optionality.

Revenue model

1. Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) Sales: Sale of pyrolysis oil produced from end-of-life tyres. TPO serves as a direct replacement for fossil fuel-based feedstocks and oils in chemical and petrochemical industries. Long-term off-take contracts signed for guaranteed sales.
2. Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) Sales: Sale of purified and granulated carbon black recovered from tyres. Used in rubber products, dyes, masterbatches, paints and varnishes, and blended with virgin carbon black for tyre production.
3. Steel Sales: Sale of recovered steel cord from tyres, classified as high-quality special steel with extremely low textile and rubber inclusions. Value can be referenced to HMS1 index.
4. Textiles Sales: Sale of recovered textile cord from tyres. Used in construction (textile-reinforced concrete) and asphalt mixtures for increased strength and crack resistance.

Core offering

Reoil Sp. z o.o. operates Europe's largest continuous pyrolysis plant for end-of-life tire recycling at its Bukowno facility near Olkusz, Poland, converting used tires into four marketable outputs — Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO), Recovered Carbon Black (rCB), steel, and textiles — for sale to chemical, petrochemical, tyre manufacturing, steel, and construction industry buyers. The company also co-delivers EPC turnkey pyrolysis plants globally through its partnership with Zeppelin Systems AG.

Product overview

Reoil Sp. z o.o. operates Europe’s largest end-of-life tire recycling plant using an innovative continuous pyrolysis process — the first of its kind globally. The company’s core offering is a continuous pyrolysis technology system that processes approximately 30,000 tons of end-of-life tires annually, recovering four main products: Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO, 8,600 tons/year), Recovered Carbon Black (rCB, 6,400 tons/year), Steel (2,600 tons/year), and Textiles (400 tons/year). The company is constructing a second plant with 60,000 tons/year capacity in partnership with Zeppelin Systems AG. Reoil holds proprietary pyrolysis know-how, operates its own R&D department, and offers engineering services for new installations worldwide under EPC turnkey contracts.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Cabot Corporation: Global specialty chemicals and performance materials company with a leading carbon black business serving tyre and rubber customers. Broad incumbent whose virgin CB competes with rCB and which has invested in recycled-content carbon offerings.
• Birla Carbon: World's largest producer of virgin carbon black for tyres and industrial rubber. Broad incumbent whose virgin CB competes directly with Reoil's rCB across the same end-markets, and which has also begun developing circular carbon products.
• Continental Carbon Company: Producer of commodity and specialty carbon blacks for tyre, rubber, and industrial applications. Broad incumbent whose virgin CB competes with Reoil's rCB across the same rubber-compounding customer base.
• Orion S.A. Global specialty carbon black producer serving rubber, tyre, and industrial applications. Broad incumbent competing with rCB in the same downstream markets and pursuing circular/renewable feedstock strategies.

Regional players

• Genan A/S: Danish-headquartered end-of-life tyre recycler operating large-volume mechanical recycling (crumbing and granulation) rather than pyrolysis. Comparable feedstock and European customer base, but different recovery pathway and output mix (rubber granules vs. TPO/rCB).

Direct peers

• Lehigh Technologies: US-based producer of recovered carbon black (rCB) from end-of-life tyres, acquired by Michelin in 2017. Direct rCB peer competing for the same tyre-OEM and rubber-goods customers with overlapping regulatory certifications.
• Pyrum Innovations AG: German-based operator of tyre pyrolysis plants producing TPO and rCB from end-of-life tyres. Closest direct competitor, also commercializing pyrolysis technology and licensing it internationally, with overlapping end-products and customer base.
• Black Bear Carbon: Dutch tire pyrolysis company producing recovered carbon black (rCB) from end-of-life tyres. Directly comparable in core technology (pyrolysis), feedstock (ELTs), and primary output (rCB for tyre and rubber applications).
• Enviro Systems AB: Swedish tire pyrolysis technology company with patented process for recovering carbon black, oil, gas, and steel from end-of-life tyres. Direct competitor in continuous/batch pyrolysis for rCB and TPO supply to tyre and chemical markets.

Others

• Zeppelin Systems AG: Strategic EPC partner delivering turnkey tyre-recycling plants globally for Reoil. Enabler and channel partner rather than a competitor; included because it materially shapes Reoil's go-to-market and licensing economics.
