Greece is currently undergoing a significant industrial transformation. As part of the National Waste Management Plan (2021-2030), the Hellenic Republic has prioritized the transition from a linear "take-make-dispose" model to a robust circular economy. In this context, the demand for Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) Refining Plants has surged, particularly in industrial hubs like Attica, Thessaloniki, and Patras.
Every year, Greece generates thousands of tons of End-of-Life Tires (ELTs). While organizations like Eco-Elastika have made strides in collection, the high-value recovery of these materials remains a frontier for innovation. Our refining plants offer a sophisticated solution by converting waste tire char into high-grade rCB, which serves as a sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black (vCB) in the Greek rubber and plastics industries.

Our refining technology is not merely about grinding. It involves a multi-stage process designed to meet the stringent requirements of the European market:
Focus on waste to energy and waste tire pyrolysis technology, Huayuan Tech was founded in 1968. Our company covers an expansive area of 209,335 square meters, with a dedicated plant area of 98,680 square meters. With a workforce of more than 500 employees, our engineering and technical personnel account for 34% of the total staff, ensuring that every Recovered Carbon Black Refining Plant we manufacture in Greece meets the highest global standards.
We possess a complete suite of A-class boilers and pressure vessels manufacturing and testing equipment. Our commitment to quality is backed by:
With the continuous development of enterprises, Huayuan Tech has become a leader in waste tire and plastic scrap pyrolysis machine development, manufacturing, sales, and consulting services. We hold national A-class boilers and A2-class pressure vessel manufacturing licenses, alongside D1/D2 pressure vessel design certificates, making us a trusted partner for Greek industrial investments.
In Greece, the construction sector is increasingly looking for "Green Asphalt" solutions. rCB refined in our plants is used as a modifier in bitumen, improving the durability of roads in the high-temperature Mediterranean climate while reducing the carbon footprint of major infrastructure projects like the Egnatia Odos or the Attiki Odos expansion.
The Greek rubber industry, though specialized, requires high-purity raw materials. Our refining plants allow local manufacturers to replace up to 30-50% of virgin carbon black in non-tire rubber products, such as conveyor belts, seals, and automotive floor mats, significantly lowering production costs and meeting EU "Green Deal" compliance.
By integrating our Waste to Energy solutions, Greek facilities can achieve a degree of energy independence. The syngas produced during the pyrolysis stage can be recirculated to heat the refining plant, while the excess heat is captured by our high-quality waste heat boilers, perfectly suited for the energy-intensive industrial zones of Oinofyta and Sindos.
Our plants are designed to meet all EU environmental regulations, including REACH and the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). This ensures that Greek operators face no legal hurdles during the permitting process.
Equipped with the latest PLC control systems, our refining plants offer remote monitoring and AI-optimized grinding processes, reducing labor costs—a critical factor for Greek SMEs.
Water scarcity is a concern in parts of Greece. Our plants feature closed-loop cooling systems to minimize water consumption and prevent local groundwater contamination.
As the European Union tightens its grip on carbon emissions through the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the value of recovered materials will only increase. Greece, with its strategic location as a gateway between Europe, Asia, and Africa, is perfectly positioned to become a regional hub for rCB production and export.
Our Recovered Carbon Black Refining Plant solutions provide Greek entrepreneurs with the tools to turn an environmental liability into a profitable, sustainable asset. By choosing Huayuan Tech, you are partnering with a manufacturer that has over 50 years of experience in thermal equipment and pressure vessel technology, ensuring your investment is safe, efficient, and future-proof.
Whether you are based in Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion, or Larissa, our team is ready to provide local technical support, installation guidance, and comprehensive after-sales service to ensure your waste-to-energy project is a resounding success.
