How to Build a Tire Recycling or Pyrolysis Business | Klean Industries Guide


Launching a successful tire recycling or pyrolysis business requires more than just capital and machinery; it demands strategic execution, technical precision, and regulatory insight. This guide walks you step-by-step through the essential stages: from concept and feedstock planning to financing, compliance, technology selection, and operations. With Klean Industries’ guidance, you’ll build a resilient, scalable enterprise from day one.

Feasibility & Market Planning

Before building infrastructure, you must validate the market and business case. This foundational stage includes:

  • Market & Feedstock Analysis: Identify feedstock volumes, quality variances, and supply consistency.
  • Competitive Landscape & Demand Assessment: Assess regional demand for products (pyrolysis oil, rCB, energy) and market pricing.
  • Technical Pathway Selection: Evaluate possible process routes (thermal pyrolysis, catalytic, co-processing) relative to feedstock and product targets.
  • Preliminary Cost Modeling: Estimate capital expenditures (CAPEX), operating costs (OPEX), revenue streams, and break-even thresholds.
  • Regulatory & Credit Landscape Scoping: Map out potential incentive programs (RFS, LCFS, etc.), permitting pathways, and compliance requirements.

This feasibility stage helps you make informed go / no-go decisions, align stakeholders, and plan next steps with confidence.
