Established in 2009 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the company specializes in pyrolysis technology to convert end-of-life tyres into valuable products, including sustainable drop-in fuels, recovered carbon black, circular naphtha, and other petrochemical feedstocks.

Its proprietary processes, such as the CIFR pyrolysis reactor system, emphasize energy efficiency, emissions control, and significant CO2 reductions by repurposing waste that would otherwise contribute to environmental harm through landfilling or incineration.

The CIRCTEC group maintains operations across five European countries, with manufacturing facilities including a flagship plant in Delfzijl, the Netherlands, alongside design, engineering, and research and development units, as well as feedstock collection capabilities through acquisitions like Granuband.

Privately held with investment from entities such as Novo Holdings and A.P. Moller Holding, CIRCTEC positions itself as an innovator and leader in scaling circular economy practices and decarbonization within its sectors.

Also known as Yanchep Holdings Limited.
