Eco Nepal Energy Industries Pvt. Ltd. (EEI) was set up to do something new in Nepal: produce industrial fuel from waste tyres and rubber scrap, and so tackle a pollution problem while strengthening the economy.
Waste tyres, tubes and other rubber goods are collected locally and processed at our plant into pyrolysis oil, also known as Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO). The by-products, Black Cat brand carbon and steel wire, are sold on as raw materials to other industries.
Our promoters bring long experience in running industries, from noodle and biscuit production to GI pipe fittings, brick making, furnace oil and automobiles. That experience, a skilled team and a commitment to ethical business have quickly earned the trust of our clients.
Our aim is to expand the capacity of this young industry and make it a leader in the country.

Our Tyre Recovery Process
We use controlled pyrolysis technology to recover valuable resources from end-of-life tyres, supporting material recovery and responsible resource utilization.
Stage 1: Tyre Collection & Preparation
End-of-life tyres are collected and prepared for processing, forming the starting point of the resource recovery process.
Our pyrolysis plant, SEZ Bhairahawa Stage 2: Thermal Pyrolysis
In a controlled, oxygen-limited environment, heat breaks down tyre material into recoverable products.
- Controlled heating
- Oxygen-limited environment
- Industrial processing system
Stage 3: Resource Recovery
Each pyrolysis cycle yields three recoverable resources: pyrolysis oil, carbon-rich char and steel wire.
Recovered resources
Carbon-Rich Char
Recovered carbon-rich material for further processing and industrial applications.

Recovered Steel Wire
Recovered steel from end-of-life tyres for recycling.

03 Products
What we produce
Every product comes from the same pyrolysis cycle and is supplied to industrial buyers across Nepal. Typical specifications are published on the Products page.
- 01
Liquid industrial fuel
Pyrolysis Oil
A liquid industrial fuel recovered from waste tyres. Its specification is close to light diesel oil, and it burns directly in boilers and furnaces without pre-heating or blending.
10,400cal/g ± 3%Calorific value, higher than furnace oil - 02
Solid fuel and raw material
Carbon Char
The carbon-rich powder left after pyrolysis. It is used as a coal substitute and heat source, and as a raw material in the rubber, ink and cement industries.
75–85%fixed carbonCalorific value 6,250 cal/g ± 2% - 03
Recovered metal
Steel Scrap
Clean steel wire recovered from the tyre structure. It is baled to HMS 1 standard for compact furnace charging, with a melt yield of at least 84%.
84%minimum melt yieldTested in a 5 kg arc furnace
04 Applications
Built for industry
Pyrolysis oil and carbon char fire kilns, furnaces and boilers across heavy industry and food processing. Recovered steel goes back to the steel sector.

05 Process
How tyre pyrolysis works
Tyre pyrolysis is the thermal breakdown of end-of-life tyres in a closed-loop system with an inert atmosphere. Our process runs under strict control, with operating data monitored every minute.
- 01
Waste tyre preparation
End-of-life tyres and rubber scrap are received, inspected and shredded to suit the reactor.
- 02
Controlled thermal decomposition
Shredded material is heated in a sealed reactor with no oxygen. The rubber breaks down instead of burning. Operating data is monitored every minute.
- 03
Separation and recovery
Vapour is drawn off and condensed into oil. The solid carbon and steel wire left in the reactor are separated.
- 04
Final products
Pyrolysis oil, carbon char and steel scrap are checked, packed or baled, and stored for dispatch.
- 05
Industrial application
The products go to cement, steel, brick, glass, ceramic and food factories, boilers, furnaces and power plants.
06 Why Eco Nepal
Why industrial buyers work with us
Six reasons, from how we run the plant to the people who run it.
Capacity
Industrial-scale production
Two pyrolysis plants on an 11,569.5 m² site, with storage and handling equipment, let us supply industrial buyers in volume without compromising on quality.
Quality
Control over every parameter
We control every stage of production, from raw material sourcing to final delivery, for consistent quality and safety. Our oil is pure and unadulterated.
Sustainability
Waste into value
We turn a hazardous waste stream into fuel and raw materials, practising circular-economy principles and treating and reusing our own process water.
People
Experienced management
Our promoters have long experience running industries, from noodle and biscuit production to GI pipe fittings, brick making, furnace oil and automobiles. They are backed by a skilled, committed workforce.
Local impact
Built in Nepal, for Nepal
We provide 50 direct and about 200 indirect jobs, support local manufacturing and cleanliness initiatives such as “Green Nepal”, and help reduce Nepal’s imports of fossil fuels, including coal.
Quality and process control
Controlled from input to output
We control every parameter of production, from raw material sourcing to final delivery, for consistent quality and safe operation.

07 Sustainability
Waste becomes resource. Resource goes back to industry.

- 02ResourceOil, carbon char and steel recovered by pyrolysis
- 03IndustryFuel and raw material for Nepal’s factories
Waste tyres don’t break down. Dumped, they take up land; burned in the open, they pollute the air. Pyrolysis turns them back into fuel, carbon and steel that factories can use.
- Tyres that would be dumped or burned in the open are processed in a sealed, oxygen-free system.
- Pyrolysis oil and carbon char give local industry a domestically produced alternative to imported furnace oil and coal.
- Steel wire is returned to the steel industry as scrap instead of being lost.
- An effluent treatment plant separates process residues from water and reuses the water in the plant.
