This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) describes a proposed pyrolysis plant project by Beston Group to process end-of-life tires in New South Wales, Australia.

• The project processes approximately 1,000 tons of waste tires annually, producing 400 tons of pyrolysis oil, carbon black, and steel wire as byproducts.
• Estimated capital costs include AUD $3-5 million for construction, AUD $1-2 million for pyrolysis equipment, and AUD $0.5-1 million for emission control systems.
• Operational costs feature AUD $500,000 for raw materials, AUD $1-1.5 million for energy (planned use of solar panels and syngas), and AUD $800,000 for labor annually.
• The plant will comply with stringent EPA NSW environmental regulations, including emission controls for VOCs, particulate matter, CO, CO2, and PAHs.
• The project timeline includes licensing and design (0-3 months), construction (4-6 months), commissioning and testing (7-12 months), and operational phase post 12 months.

The EIA project outlines a detailed environmental, economic, and regulatory framework for implementation, aiming to mitigate tire waste issues sustainably in Australia.
