Klean Industries
Headquarters: Boardman, Canada
Klean Industries has a significant history in Oregon's tire pyrolysis landscape. They previously operated a pilot plant in Boardman (2008-2016), which is now decommissioned. Although there were plans for a North American flagship facility near Portland to process waste tires into recovered carbon black and marine fuel, recent reports (November 2025) indicate discontinuation of activities at their Boardman plant, but they continue to focus on advanced pyrolysis technology globally.
