ENVIRO CEMENTS POSITION AS LEADER IN THE PYROLYSIS SECTOR
TYRE PYROLYSIS AWARD
BEST TYRE RECYCLER AWARD
Thomas Sorensson - CEO of Scandinavian Enviro Systems
Scandinavian Enviro Systems, founded in 2001, has spent the last 20 years developing a pyrolysis based technology that meets all aspects of the market requirements. The company, based in Gothenburg, Sweden and with its own plant in Asensbruk, has been at the forefront of the pyrolysis sector for a number of years. More recently the com- Michelin, who own 20% of the company.
The company is also an enterprise, which know how to mobilise its customer and contacts to win the Recircle Awards, and in 2022, a year after scooping the Tyre Pyroly- sis Award in the inaugural awards, not only managed to repeat its success in this year’s event, it also dominated the Best Tyre Recy- cler category.
“We were very excited about winning two awards,” commented the company’s CEO Thomas Sorensson following the announce- ment of the company’s double success. “Fo- llowing up on the award we won last year, to win two awards this year is fantastic. The team here is very happy about that, and of course in tough competition because it was really a global competition and this year a tough competition in both nominations.”
When asked to give his views on the reasons behind the company’s success, Sorensson commented; “We try to be consistent in our work, we try to be thorough, and we try to be transparent. We try to build collaborations
both within the industry and along the value chain, and I hope our approach to the busi- ness and being sincere in being the enabler of circularity in the industry is the key ingre- dient, at least that’s what I hope.”
On the subject of pyrolysis in general, So- rensson also gave some insight into the cu- rrent state of the pyrolysis market and the sector’s prospects for the future:
“The general guidelines of tyre recycling are now in place and the industry is adapting towards our technical solution and pyroly- sis in general,” he said, “but the innovation needed now is around the implementa- tion of the materials in larger volumes and larger substitution rates and innovation in collaboration between the tyre industry, the rubber industry and companies like ourselves and our peers, but also along the value chain more streamlined and more qualitative in terms of material consistency and process consistency.”
