At Pyral AG, we take our responsibility to the environment seriously.
Despite what some may think/believe, the environment and industry cannot be separated from each other and therefore technologies are needed that support both the productivity and the care-taking of the environment.
The world population is rapidly growing and we all produce waste, directly and indirectly. The production of an automobile requires almost ten times the input-material than its final weight and produces over 20-35 tonnes of CO2. It requires 160 MJ of energy to produce just one kg of plastic. To ensure that future generations have the same opportunities as we do today, requires the commitment and understanding from people, industry, and politics.
Waste reduction is important, but equally important is recovering the resources from the already generated waste. At Pyral AG we are committed to this principle and constantly strive to improve our technologies so that we achieve this goal. We look at waste and see its resource potential, not just something to be discarded.

For PYRAL AG environmental responsibility means:
- Recognising the depletability of primary energy resources (coal, oil and gas) and the costs for extracting these energy types
- The supply of raw materials from recycling saves Germany’s economy large volumes of imported raw material every year
- The processing of waste materials by means of intelligent methods, separation from organic and inorganic in the pyrolysis, instead of an ecologically harmful combustion in a waste incinerator plant. A plant like this produces dangerous residues like dusts, ashes and slags as well as high CO2 emissions
- All plant employees receive environmental awareness and behavioural training in regards to sustainability
- Environmentally sound storage and safe transport
- All production sites have impermeable ground surfaces and exhaust systems for the reduction of dust emissions
- Technological leading flue-gas cleaning unit with continuous online measurements made available to authorities
"In the long term, economic sustainability depends on ecological sustainability."
