Following the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in India, domestic recycling machinery manufacturers are expanding capacity to meet an anticipated rise in equipment demand.
“With the demand for machinery growing in the domestic market, we are gearing up to meet the demand,” said Ankit Vagadiya, Director of Pyro System, during the India Rubber Expo (IRE) 2026 in New Delhi.
Based in Rajkot, Gujarat, Pyro System is a venture of Prosper Universal Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of continuous pyrolysis plants. The company’s PU500 model is an industrial recycling system designed to convert waste tyres into tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO), recovered carbon black (rCB), and syngas. The processing line, which handles 20 mm rubber chips, has a daily capacity of 55 to 65 tonnes per day and features an automated feed system to allow for continuous operation.
“Considering the growing potential in the domestic market, the trend towards continuous plant installations, and the growing applications for rCB, we anticipate significant annual growth,” Vagadiya stated. “We are expecting a surge in demand and aim to supply 25 plants in 2026”.
While the company has historically focused on the Indian market, it is planning a strategic move into international trade following its current capacity expansion. Vagadiya noted that the firm intends to focus on developing its export business starting in 2027.
In addition to machinery manufacturing, Pyro System provides plant design and installation services. The company’s technical team produces layouts based on available land, production capacity requirements, and statutory regulations, while allowing for future site expansion.
