  Startup costs for a tire pyrolysis unit typically range from \(\$25,000\) for small, entry-level batch systems to over \(\$1.5\text{ million}\) for fully automated, continuous industrial plants. The Return on Investment (ROI) generally sits between 15% and 35%, with typical payback periods of 2 to 4 years. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  The startup costs and profitability break down as follows:
  Startup Costs
  The core equipment is only part of the initial capital investment. Total startup costs are highly dependent on scale and technology: [1]
  Mini/Small Scale Batch (500 kg to 5 tons/day): \(\$25,000\) to \(\$80,000\) for core equipment.
  Medium Scale Batch/Semi-Continuous (10 to 15 tons/day): \(\$80,000\) to \(\$300,000\).
  Large Scale Continuous (20 to 50+ tons/day): \(\$300,000\) to \(\$1.5\text{ million+}\) for equipment, automation, and heavy-duty reactors.
  Site & Auxiliary Costs: Allow an additional \(\$100,000\) to \(\$500,000+\) for land, civil foundations, emission control/scrubbers, storage tanks, and local permitting. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
  Revenue Streams & ROI
  Each processed ton of waste tires yields approximately \(45\%\) pyrolysis oil, \(30\%\) carbon black, \(10\%\) steel wire, and \(10\%\) combustible gases (which are often recycled to heat the plant). [1]
  Pyrolysis Oil: Used as a fuel alternative for cement kilns, brick factories, and boilers, selling for around \(\$60\) to \(\$100\) per barrel or \(\$300\) to \(\$500\) per ton.
  Carbon Black: Sells for roughly \(\$200\) to \(\$250\) per ton.
  Steel Wire: Sells for approximately \(\$150\) per ton. [1, 2, 3]
  For a mid-sized operation, such as a 10-ton per day (TPD) plant, this setup can generate gross revenues exceeding \(\$2,500\) per day. After subtracting daily operating expenses (labor, electricity, fuel, and raw tire sourcing), net daily profits often range from \(\$1,000\) to \(\$1,500\), depending heavily on local commodity prices and regulatory overheads. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  Factors Impacting Profitability
  Equipment Type: Automated continuous plants are more expensive upfront but require significantly less labor.
  Feedstock Sourcing: Depending on your local municipality, waste tires may be a
