Ellsin Environmental turns scrap tires into energy and reusable goods

The Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario company, Ellsin Environmental (a subsidiary of Environmental Waste International), recycles scrap tires into steel, oil, and carbon black and produces enough energy to power the unit with the potential for selling the excess generated power on the grid. The TR900 pilot plant began operations in 2011 with the objective of demonstrating the technology and establishing the market for tire byproducts before expanding to other locations.
