Pyrum receives ISCC EU certification for thermolysis oil - End-of-life tire
recycling becomes biofuel-compatible and strengthens Europe's more resilient raw
material and energy supply

o Pyrum thermolysis oil approved as a feedstock for biofuel production
o Certification enables access to regulated growth market
o Compliance with increasingly stringent EU sustainability requirements

Dillingen/Saar, 5 March 2026 - Pyrum Innovations AG has received ISCC EU
certification for its thermolysis oil produced from end-of-life tires. With this
certification, the company complies with the requirements of the EU Renewable
Energy Directives RED II and RED III, enabling the oil to be used within the
European Union as a sustainable feedstock for the production of biofuels and
other renewable energy carriers.

The certification marks a crucial step for Pyrum's industrial scaling. It
combines the circular economy with a regulated, rapidly growing energy market:
Pyrum's thermolysis oil can now be used in a framework that is significant for
the market development of sustainable fuels in Europe. This substantially
broadens Pyrum's commercialization opportunities, particularly in the segments
of biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels, and co-processed fuels.

ISCC EU is one of the leading international certification systems for
sustainable production and supply chains. Among other things, the certification
confirms:

o Protection and preservation of ecologically valuable areas
o Reduced greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain
o Full traceability of raw material and product flows
o Compliance with all sustainability criteria under RED III and applicable EU
regulations

As part of the certification process, greenhouse gas emissions are additionally
assessed and independently verified in accordance with the GHG Protocol.


Political Relevance: Circular Economy, Technological Sovereignty, and Resilience

The ISCC EU certification unlocks an additional, industrial policy-relevant
pathway for the utilization of secondary raw materials. It transforms a
difficult-to-recycle waste stream into a secondary raw material that makes a
measurable contribution to decarbonization. Pyrum thereby integrates waste
reduction, resource recovery, and energy application within a process that is
scalable across Europe.


Economic Relevance: Reduced Market Dependency During Capacity Expansion

For Pyrum, the certification also marks a milestone in strengthening
commercialization resilience during further capacity expansion. Access to
regulated biofuel markets significantly reduces dependence on individual
recyclate markets and specific off-take structures. This improves predictability
at a stage when scaling and purchasing capacity are crucial.

Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: "ISCC EU certification is more than a
formal achievement for us. It provides access to a regulated market environment
that is central to Europe's decarbonization strategy. At the same time, it
strengthens the resilience of our commercialization strategy as we expand
capacity and reduces our dependency on individual recyclate markets."



About Pyrum Innovations AG

Pyrum Innovations AG has revolutionised the recycling market for end-of-life
tyres. Since 2008, the company has been developing an innovative thermolysis
technology that enables end-of-life tyres and plastics to be recycled with
virtually no emissions. The process can recover high-quality products such as
thermolysis oil and rCB (recovered Carbon Black), which are used by renowned
partners such as BASF, Continental and Schwalbe to manufacture new products. In
this way, the company closes the material cycle and pursues a sustainable
business model in line with climate targets. Since 2020, the first plant at the
company's headquarters in Dillingen/Saar has been in continuous operation, and
two further plants have been added as part of the site expansion in 2024.
Prestigious certifications such as REACH and ISCC Plus prove the quality and
sustainability of the products. https://www.pyrum.net/en/
