About

Who we are

XPYRO AS is a technology company based at Heimdal in Trondheim, Norway. We were established as a spin-off of the engineering company Inrigo AS to bring Inrigo's patented tyre pyrolysis technology to market – through licensing, turnkey plants and co-developed projects.

Our vision

To redefine the future of tyre recycling by leading with patented, high-efficiency pyrolysis technology that transforms every end-of-life tyre into a valuable product within a zero-waste, circular economy.

Our mission

Divert waste tyres from landfill and incineration and deliver high-value products – oil, carbon and steel – back to industry.

Long term, we aim to capture 1% of the global end-of-life tyre market and recycle the oil and carbon back into the tyre manufacturing sector, avoiding CO₂ emissions.

Our core values

Sustainability
We build with purpose – reducing emissions, recovering resources and protecting the planet.
Innovation
We lead with patented technology and bold thinking to set new benchmarks in recycling.
Excellence
We operate with precision, quality and safety – delivering value to people, industry and the environment.

What we do

  • Patented, energy self-sufficient pyrolysis technology for the growing recycling market for end-of-life tyres.
  • An advanced thermochemical conversion system that gives flexible products for the market from waste – waste to value.
  • Conversion of carbon-based waste to oil, carbon and gas products. Tyres are the first application; the same platform can process other carbon-rich residues.
  • Deep engineering capability: we design, build, commission and operate plants, and we stay through start-up and optimisation.
