PRTI

Converting Tire Waste Into Bitcoin

PRTI MiningStore Case Study

PRTI is on a mission to efficiently demanufacture a portion of the 317 million tires disposed of in the United States every year. The demanufacturing process breaks down tires into oil, syngas, carbon, and steel. These commodities can be sold or converted into clean energy.

Excess methane created during the process offered an opportunity to power a green-energy cryptocurrency mining operation — turning waste into digital value.

An Inside Look

The Goal

Achieve carbon-neutral status and efficiently monetize the significant excess methane (syngas) generated from large-scale tire demanufacturing, converting a waste byproduct into a productive revenue stream.

The Approach

MiningStore designed and deployed a mining operation powered entirely by PRTI's excess methane output. 300 GPU rigs were installed on-site, drawing 500 KW of clean energy generated from the tire demanufacturing process. The solution ran 24/7 with zero grid dependency, turning an industrial waste stream into a continuous revenue source.
