Indonesia is sitting on a goldmine, and most people don't even see it. Every single day, millions of waste tires pile up in landfills. Tons of plastic waste choke rivers and oceans. Palm shells and coconut husks rot in plantations, going to waste. But here's the truth: that waste isn't trash, it's profit waiting to be unlocked.
And today, I'm going to show you exactly how Indonesian entrepreneurs are already making money with pyrolysis and waste oil refining technology, which turns waste into fuel, carbon black, and biomass charcoal.
Profits of Indonesian waste pyrolysis projects
Now, you might be thinking: Recycling to fuel oil sounds great, but does it actually work in Indonesia? Let me answer that with 6 real projects we've already delivered across Indonesia.
Just last month, we signed a brand-new project with an Indonesian client who's getting into the plastic-to-fuel business with DOING plastic to diesel and gasoline machine.
Here's what makes this special: this isn't just basic pyrolysis oil. This machine produces high-quality fuel that's clean enough for automotive parts coating and protection. We're talking about a premium product that commands a premium price.
Why did they choose DOING Company? Because they wanted a one-stop solution, not just a plastic to oil machine, but a complete system that delivers refinery-grade fuel output.

Now, if you're looking at tire recycling, you need to hear this one.
Back in mid-2024, an Indonesian customer put our 15-ton semi-continuous tire pyrolysis plant into operation. When compared to conventional batch pyrolysis units, the productivity gap is massive.
Traditional batch pyrolysis equipment completes only one tyre to fuel oil production run per day. Our semi-continuous tyre pyrolysis system achieves three runs within two days, achieving 50% higher processing capacity.
And with tire shredding and steel wire removal pre-treatment, the entire tire recycling pyrolysis plant operation site stays clean and organized. No need to cool the pyrolysis reactor and draw the steel wire out, which saves time and advoid messy carbon black.

A client flew all the way from Indonesia to visit our DOING factory, and they walked away with our 1-ton per hour biomass carbonization equipment. They need this solution to recycle coconut shells and palm waste — two resources Indonesia has in absolute abundance.
Palm mills generate tons of empty fruit bunches and shells. Coconut plantations have endless husks. Instead of burning them or dumping them, this client is turning them into high-quality charcoal and activated carbon — products with massive domestic and export demand.
Biomass to biochar pyrolysis business
Not everyone starts big and that's totally okay. In August of 2025, an Indonesian client went with our 10-ton batch-type plastic pyrolysis machine. They're collecting waste plastic and converting it into industrial fuel oil for factories and boilers.
Their number one priority? Cost-effectiveness. They wanted a solid machine with a fast ROI, without over-investing upfront. And that's exactly what they got.

Picture this: an industrial park with mountains of waste tires and nobody to handle them. That's exactly the situation our client faced in 2023. So they bought two sets of DY-10TPD model tire pyrolysis equipment to process all the scrap tires generated within the park.
The profit margins of turning old tyres into fuel oil is excellent. Because the feedstock is essentially free — it's waste that the park was paying to have hauled away. Why they choose DOING tyre pyrolysis solutions? Three reasons: easy installation, high environmental compliance, and a proven track record across multiple regions. DOING Company is not a new player but a trusted name with projects worldwide.

Waste oil is another huge opportunity in Indonesia. Back in 2022, we delivered a 15-ton waste oil refining plant using our advanced solid catalyst system. Used engine oil, lubricating oil, pyrolysis oil — feed it in, get clean diesel out. This kind of waste oil recycling machine has the advantages of higher recovery rates, less manual labor, and maximum non-standard diesel yield.

Is pyrolysis profitable in Indonesia?
Yes. With abundant waste feedstock supply, strong industrial fuel demand, and growing waste disposal fees, pyrolysis projects in Indonesia offer attractive returns on investment. If you want to eran more profits, please pay close attention to the factors: stable raw material supply contracts, securing at least one fuel buyer before production start, selecting the right equipment capacity for your scale, and minimizing logistics costs through strategic site selection. DOING provides project profitability analysis for all Indonesian enquiries.
What types of waste can DOING’s pyrolysis equipment process in Indonesia?
DOING’s pyrolysis machines can process: waste tyres, waste plastics, mixed plastics, rubber products, oil sludge, biomass (coconut shells, palm waste, bamboo, wood), used engine oil, pyrolysis oil, and municipal solid waste fractions. Equipment is customized based on your specific feedstock mix.
Different types of feedstocks for pyrolysis machine
What is the best pyrolysis equipment for a first-time investor in Indonesia?
For first-time investors, a batch pyrolysis plant (5-15 TPD) offers the best entry point: lower initial investment, simpler operation, lower maintenance requirements, and proven technology. As your feedstock supply and market relationships grow, you can add semi-continuous or fully continuous units.
Does DOING provide installation support in Indonesia?
Yes. DOING deploys experienced overseas installation engineers to Indonesia for equipment installation, commissioning, and operator training. We also provide Chinese and English operation manuals with detailed maintenance procedures.
How long does it take to build a pyrolysis plant or waste oil to diesel recycling project in Indonesia?
Project timelines vary by equipment type and site readiness. Typical timelines: 1-2 months for equipment manufacturing, 1-2 months for shipping to Indonesia, 2-4 weeks for installation and commissioning. Total: approximately 4-6 months from contract signing to first commercial production.
Can I visit DOING factory before placing an order?
Absolutely — and we strongly encourage it. DOING regularly hosts Indonesian customers at our manufacturing facility (Henan Province of China) to see the factory, watch equipment run, and meet the engineering team.
