RUBBER BIOREFINE RECOVERY
The refinery rubber has been waiting for.
Conventional rubber recycling is a mechanical process. Tires are shredded and ground, and the resulting crumb is used as filler in road surfaces, playground surfaces, and construction materials. The polymer chains that give rubber its value are broken in the process. What comes out is structurally degraded material that cannot re-enter high-performance applications at high volumes.
The problem is not collection. Europe collects and treats over 95% of its end-of-life tyres. The problem is what happens next, and the answer has always required chemistry that mechanical processing cannot fully deliver alone.
THE APPROACH
Enzymatic recovery. Molecular precision.
Rubber BioRefine Recovery applies biotechnology to the rubber recycling problem for the first time. Using an enzymatic process, it selectively breaks down rubber polymer chains at the molecular level, recovering defined, high-value oligomeric fragments that retain the structural integrity needed for virgin-grade performance.
Where mechanical recycling destroys polymer value, enzymatic recovery preserves it. The process operates under mild conditions, is designed for integration with existing devulcanisation infrastructure, and produces outputs that can re-enter high-value rubber applications rather than being downcycled into filler.
This is not an incremental improvement to existing recycling technology. It is a different class of solution- the first biorefinery pathway built specifically for rubber.
WHERE WE ARE
In development. Built for scale.
Rubber BioRefine Recovery is currently in development. Our work is focused on advancing the process toward proof of concept at industrially relevant feedstock loadings, with a clear path toward integration with existing recycling plant infrastructure.
We are actively seeking partnerships with recyclers, tire companies, and strategic investors who want to be part of building this pathway and who understand that the window to establish a position in high-value rubber recovery is open now, ahead of incoming regulatory pressure on energy recovery and export routes.
THE OPPORTUNITY
What it unlocks
For recyclers- a route to higher-value outputs from the feedstock you already collect, without replacing your existing infrastructure.
For tire manufacturers- a credible supply pathway for virgin-grade recycled rubber that meets performance standards, not just sustainability targets.
For investors- a proprietary enzymatic platform with no direct competitor, addressing a multi-million-tonne European waste stream under increasing regulatory pressure.
If you're a recycler, tire manufacturer, or investor looking to understand what Rubber BioRefine Recovery could mean for your position in the circular rubber value chain, we'd like to talk.
