WARSAW, Poland—The third and fourth pyrolysis lines are up and running at Warsaw-based Contec S.A.
The new lines are set to triple Contec's total production capacity, the company said.
The Polish rubber and plastic upcycling company announced the completion of the two new lines in a news release Nov. 4, adding that both were already fully operational. Investment costs for the expansion were not disclosed.
Fellow manufacturer Orion S.A. also expanded their pyrolysis operations in Poland earlier this year.
"The completion of our third and fourth pyrolysis lines shows Contec's commitment to growth and sustainability," Chief Investment Officer Dominik Dobrowolski said. "Increasing our capacity to produce circular products and responding to market demands also drives forward our vision for a greener future."
He added that the expansion strengthens Contec's commitment to not only provide innovative solutions built from end-of-life tires, but environmentally sustainable ones.
The new lines represent a massive step forward in Contec's upcycling mission, the company said. Moving forward, Contec will be able to deliver a higher volume of upcycled products and bolster its position as a leader in the sustainable tire and rubber industry.
"With these additions, Contec is set to triple its production capacity over the coming year, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and sustainability," the firm said in its release. "The expanded capacity will allow the company to better meet the growing demand for sustainable raw materials while contributing to the circular economy by transforming waste into valuable resources."
