Jordan's end-of-life tires have always had value. CIRKUL is the infrastructure that recovers it — producing rubber granules, rubber powder, and recovered steel for construction, industrial, and export markets.
CIRKUL is a mechanical tire recycling facility within the Aqaba Special Economic Zone — built to convert that feedstock into certified industrial outputs at consistent quality. Each tonne processed is a tonne recovered — returned to the industrial loop at full material value rather than lost to landfill or incineration. GAFTA free trade access and direct proximity to the Port of Aqaba position CIRKUL to supply domestic and regional markets at competitive landed cost.
Jordan's end-of-life tire stream grows with every vehicle on the road. The rubber and steel those tires contain are established industrial materials — in active demand across manufacturing and infrastructure. But demand today comes with a standard: consistent gradation, verified quality, environmental provenance. Sustainability frameworks, green procurement requirements, and circular economy mandates are reshaping what qualifies as an acceptable industrial input. Meeting that standard requires purpose-built infrastructure.
The regional market for recycled rubber inputs is expanding — and Jordan is positioned at its centre. GAFTA trade access opens 22 Arab markets. ASEZA's industrial framework offers the fiscal and regulatory conditions serious infrastructure investment requires. UNDP and EU circular economy programmes are already active in the same zone. The policy, the trade access, and the institutional momentum are aligned. CIRKUL is built to move with them.
Every tire processed by CIRKUL yields three clean, sellable material streams — returned to construction, industrial, and export markets with zero residue.
The primary output. Sized crumb rubber used across sports, construction, and safety applications. Supplied to domestic buyers and exported across GAFTA markets.
Fine-milled rubber powder for use as an industrial modifier and in bonded surface products. Higher value-per-tonne relative to granules.
Steel wire embedded in tire carcasses is mechanically separated and recovered as a clean output stream. No heat, no chemicals. Pure mechanical extraction from start to finish.
A 5% concessional corporate tax rate, zero dividend tax, duty-free equipment import, and full capital repatriation — within purpose-built industrial infrastructure.
Zero-tariff access to 22 Arab markets from a single location — a structural export advantage built into the address.
Direct access to Aqaba's deep-water port eliminates transshipment penalties and creates competitive landed pricing across regional markets.
Southern Jordan's solar resource makes 100% on-site generation viable — fixing energy costs and producing a verifiable low-carbon material profile.
Sited within ASEZA — Jordan's only special economic zone with deep-water port access. A structural convergence of captive feedstock, free trade infrastructure, and Red Sea logistics in a single location.
CIRKUL is an early-stage venture with a defined opportunity, a specific location, and a clear industrial thesis. We are raising pre-seed capital to fund the groundwork — site, validation, specification. If you are investing in or building toward a circular industrial economy in this region, we look forward to the conversation.
This website runs carbon-neutral — and so will our facility.
Hosted on Swiss-certified carbon-neutral infrastructure with a measured footprint of 0.052 kg CO₂ per year — offset at 200% through a verified renewable energy programme. Every loop closes. From the rubber granules we recover to the pixels on this screen.
Beyond the
industrial loop.
The people already collecting tires across Jordan — the workshops, the scrap dealers, the informal networks — have been doing this work without formal infrastructure to connect to. As CIRKUL becomes operational, we intend to be that connection — giving that supply chain formal value and a recognised place in the industrial loop.
Aqaba is where we are building. The Gulf of Aqaba is already being protected by institutions, communities, and initiatives that have been doing that work for years. CIRKUL intends to join them.
Because the coastline we are building on is not just our location. It is our responsibility.
