Our flagship pyrolysis systems are purpose-built for France's demanding waste management regulations and high-throughput industrial environments. Each machine is CE-compatible and designed for continuous, efficient operation.
France generates approximately 500,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres (ELTs) annually, making it one of Europe's largest tyre waste markets. Stringent EU directives and France's own environmental legislation — including the AGEC Law (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy) — are accelerating the adoption of pyrolysis as a premium ELT valorisation pathway.
France's commitment to the circular economy, combined with rising fuel costs and tightening landfill bans, positions pyrolysis technology as a strategically critical investment for French industrial operators, energy companies, and waste management groups.
France's landmark AGEC Law mandates extended producer responsibility for tyres and pushes operators toward high-value recovery methods. Pyrolysis converts ELTs into fuel oil, carbon black, and steel wire — all fully recoverable commodities.
With European energy prices at historic highs, French industries are turning to pyrolysis-derived fuel oil as a cost-effective alternative to conventional fossil fuels — reducing operational energy bills by up to 40%.
From cement kilns in Lyon to steel foundries in Dunkerque, French heavy industries are integrating pyrolysis plants directly into their energy supply chains, replacing imported heavy fuel oil with locally produced pyrolysis oil.
The European Green Deal's circular economy action plan explicitly supports chemical recycling of tyres. Pyrolysis qualifies for EU taxonomy green financing, making capital investment significantly more accessible for French operators.
With French gate fees for ELT disposal ranging €80–€150/tonne, and pyrolysis oil selling at €400–€600/tonne, operators in France achieve typical payback periods of 2–4 years on continuous pyrolysis plant investments.
Recovered carbon black (rCB) from pyrolysis is increasingly demanded by French tyre manufacturers including Michelin (headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand) as a sustainable substitute for virgin carbon black in new tyre production.
Our machines are deployed across a wide range of French industrial sectors, delivering measurable economic and environmental benefits at every scale of operation.
Large-scale continuous pyrolysis plants processing municipal ELT streams collected from Greater Paris, converting thousands of tonnes annually into usable fuel and carbon black.
Semi-continuous rotary kiln systems installed in northern French industrial parks provide flexible processing capacity for mixed rubber and plastic waste streams alongside tyre feedstocks.
Regional trucking and fleet companies in the Lyon–Grenoble corridor operate compact batch pyrolysis units to process their own end-of-life commercial vehicle tyres on-site, achieving zero ELT disposal costs.
Pyrolysis-derived fuel oil is co-processed in rotary cement kilns across the Massif Central region as an approved alternative fuel, reducing clinker production costs and CO₂ emissions simultaneously.
Coastal industrial operators in Marseille and Le Havre use pyrolysis oil as bunker fuel blending component, leveraging France's major port infrastructure to distribute recovered fuel regionally.
Small-scale batch pyrolysis units help rural cooperatives in southern France convert agricultural vehicle tyres into heating fuel for greenhouses and farm facilities, significantly cutting energy bills.
France's tyre pyrolysis sector is undergoing rapid structural transformation, driven by regulatory pressure, corporate sustainability commitments, and technological advancement.
AGEC Law, EU Taxonomy, and ELT producer responsibility schemes create the legal and financial framework for large-scale pyrolysis investment.
Continuous pyrolysis plants replace batch systems as French operators demand higher throughput, lower labour costs, and 24/7 automated operation.
Pyrolysis oil refining plants upgrade raw pyrolysis oil to diesel-grade fuel, while rCB processing lines produce ASTM N660-equivalent carbon black for tyre manufacturers.
Full closed-loop systems where French tyre makers like Michelin source rCB directly from pyrolysis operators, completing the circular economy value chain.
With over 56 years of engineering excellence, ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 / OHSAS 18001 triple certification, and ASME accreditation, Huayuan Tech delivers pyrolysis solutions that meet France's strict industrial, environmental, and safety standards. Our dedicated France market team provides full project lifecycle support — from feasibility study to commissioning and after-sales service.
Focus on waste to energy and waste tire pyrolysis technology, Huayuan Tech was founded in 1968. The company covers an area of 209,335 square meters, with a plant area of 98,680 square meters, more than 500 employees, and engineering and technical personnel accounting for 34% of the total workforce.
Huayuan Tech holds a complete A-class boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing and testing capability, a pressure pipe installation permit, and has achieved ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 triple system certification as well as the United States ASME certification — ensuring every machine we deliver to France meets the highest international quality benchmarks.
With the continuous development of our enterprise, Huayuan Tech has become a professional firm engaged in boiler, pressure vessel, waste tire and plastic scrap pyrolysis machine development, manufacturing, sales, consulting services, thermal equipment system integration, contract energy management, and investment and financing.
We hold a national A-class boiler, A2-class pressure vessel manufacturing licence, and D1/D2 pressure vessel design certificate — qualifications that give French buyers and project developers full confidence in the safety and compliance of every system we supply.
Unswervingly pursuing technological innovation and building strong enterprise core competitiveness is the company's long-term development strategy. Adhering to the principles of "innovation, quality, and honesty," and with environmental protection and energy conservation as prerequisites, Huayuan Tech uses technology as its primary tool.
With superb professional skills and a unique R&D philosophy, strong production-research cooperation, we constantly introduce innovative products and services to meet market demand — including the specific requirements of the French and broader European market for low-emission, high-efficiency pyrolysis systems.
Our R&D team continuously works on improving pyrolysis reactor design, flue gas treatment systems, and automation controls to ensure our machines comply with France's stringent air quality regulations (including the Arrêté du 2 février 1998 on classified installations) and EU Industrial Emissions Directive requirements.
From batch systems for smaller French operators to fully continuous industrial-scale plants, our comprehensive product portfolio covers every operational scale and feedstock type relevant to the French market.
