## About Wastefront

Wastefront is a Norwegian waste-to-fuel company established in 2019, specializing in transforming end-of-life tyres into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO),

recovered carbon black (rCB), and sustainable chemicals through a proprietary pyrolysis process. The company focuses on rubber waste recycling, utilizing pyrolytic reactors to thermally decompose tyres while minimizing toxic emissions and producing low-emission diesel fuel. The company primarily serves the aviation industry and the sustainability sector, partnering with organizations like International Airlines Group (IAG) and VTTI to support low-carbon fuel initiatives. Wastefront's first commercial plant, located in Sunderland, UK, is set to process up to 80 million tyres annually and aims to create 160 jobs. With significant venture funding, Wastefront is positioned to lead in the waste-to-fuel sector, addressing pollution and promoting circularity in waste management.
