Scandinavian Enviro Systems has received a recovered pyrolysis oil order worth MSEK 2 from the subsidiary of a leading US oil company. The oil will be used for production tests at a European oil refinery owned by the oil company, Enviro said in a statement. Completion of the transaction is conditional upon Enviro’s recovered oil gaining a registration in accordance with the EU chemicals regulation, REACH. The company expects to obtain a REACH registration for the oil as an intermediate during the second quarter of 2022.
Enviro said the oil company is one of the five largest oil companies in the US and the oil will be used to conduct production tests to determine how suitable it is as feedstock for the production of different biofuels. The oil will be produced at Enviro’s recycling plant in Åsensbruk. The plant is based on Enviro’s patented recycling technology for end-of-life vehicle tyres and the oil and carbon black produced at the plant were both certified in accordance with the global sustainability certification system ISCC in September last year.
To be finalised, Enviro’s oil must also be approved in accordance with the EU REACH regulation. Other manufacturers have already obtained registrations for pyrolysis oil in accordance with the regulation. REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. Enviro expects to obtain a REACH registration of its oil as an intermediate during the second quarter of 2022.
Thomas Sörensson, CEO, Enviro, said, “This is the first major order from an oil company and is a milestone for Enviro’s development as it signals a clear acceptance of the commercial potential of our pyrolysis oil. Accordingly, this transaction also improves our opportunities to secure off-take agreements for the oil we recover.”
The ISCC certification of pyrolysis oil from the plant in Åsensbruk is crucial for enabling Enviro to conduct large-scale commercial trading in the oil. Several companies in the oil and chemicals industries have shown interest in using recovered pyrolysis oil in their production for sustainability reasons. The price level on which the order now received is based also confirms the revenue calculations communicated earlier by Enviro regarding the company’s future, full-scale recycling plants.
Sörensson added, “The stricter requirements concerning sustainability from the authorities, politicians, consumers and investors has increased the interest in our recovered pyrolysis oil markedly in the past few years. Having our recovered materials, such as oil and carbon black, ISCC certified is a significant achievement and makes it possible for the oil industry and the chemicals industry to become more sustainable and circular.” (TT)

USTMA Launches National Tire Safety Week 2026 With New Storytelling Platform
- By TT News
- June 30, 2026
The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) has launched National Tire Safety Week 2026, a public education campaign running from 29 June through 4 July. This year’s initiative, themed ‘Driving Safety, Full Circle’, introduces a new storytelling platform called Full Circle, which emphasises the essential role of tyres in everyday American life. The campaign underscores the critical importance of regular tyre maintenance for overall vehicle safety.
To illustrate this message, the association has released Full Circle Moments, a series of short videos depicting common scenarios where tire performance is paramount. The series features five distinct vignettes, including an infant’s secure journey home from the hospital, a parent’s lesson in driving for a teenager, the durability required for a family road trip, the traction needed during a heavy rainstorm and the stopping power necessary for sudden braking. These videos are being distributed via USTMA’s official website and social media channels.
The campaign also provides motorists with a practical maintenance guide, urging them to remember the acronym ‘P.A.R.T.’, which stands for Pressure, Alignment, Rotation and Tread. Drivers are advised to conduct these checks at least monthly and prior to embarking on extended summer road trips. According to the association, investing a few minutes in these simple inspections can significantly reduce the risk of highway incidents.
Furthermore, National Tire Safety Week marks the official launch of the Full Circle digital platform, which is structured around five core pillars: safety, sustainability, innovation, economic impact and advocacy. The site offers evidence-based narratives about the tyre industry’s dedication to reliable mobility and environmental stewardship, including efforts to repurpose tyres. The initiative is supported by all major USTMA member companies, including Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear, Michelin and several other leading tyre manufacturers.
Anne Forristall Luke, President and CEO, USTMA, said, “Every drive home, every family road trip, every race to an emergency by a first responder happens on tyres. Proper tyre maintenance plays a critical role in safety on the road, and we must all do our part to protect the people and moments we value most. National Tire Safety Week is our reminder that caring for our tyres is simple and essential, and that behind every safe mile is an industry working to make mobility safer, smarter and more dependable.
“Tyres are essential to nearly every part of modern life, yet they’re easy to take for granted. Full Circle embodies the depth of our industry’s commitment to the communities we serve. It’s a story of an industry committed to continuous progress with safety at the forefront, and we’re proud to keep driving it forward.”
