  • The Thermal Afterburner

These three core components work harmoniously to ensure high-efficiency, low-emission tire recycling.

Significance of TyreNova

The name TyreNova represents more than just a brand; it embodies transformation:

  • “Tyre” roots the brand in its fundamental mission: converting end-of-life tires into valuable, low-carbon resources through advanced pyrolysis.
  • “Nova” is Latin for new and evokes the astronomical phenomenon of a sudden, brilliant emergence—symbolizing the fusion of two powerful forces:
    • The proven technology developed and refined by Klean Industries
    • The global licensing, engineering, and delivery prowess of KBR, now collaborating with Klean to scale this solution worldwide.

Together, TyreNova signifies a rebirth: a new phase of deployment, visibility, and impact. It represents where tested innovation meets global execution—transforming circularity into infrastructure.

This alliance strengthens Klean’s dedication to innovation, sustainability, and global impact, while leveraging KBR’s legacy of engineering excellence to scale sustainable and impactful solutions.
