Adideva Carbon: Low-Ash rCB and Sustainable TPO From India


Low-Ash rCB

India’s recovered carbon black market has a new entrant focused on quality and sustainability, with a newly founded producer targeting low-ash rCB and sustainable tyre pyrolysis oil from end-of-life tyres.

A New Low-Ash rCB Producer in India

Adideva Carbon, a newly founded company based in Uttar Pradesh, is focused on producing high-quality, low-ash recovered carbon black (rCB) and tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) from end-of-life tyres. The company launched its international presence at the Recovered Carbon Black Conference in Barcelona, using the gathering to introduce itself and begin building relationships with end buyers across the rCB and TPO value chains. Its stated priorities are quality, consistency, and emissions reduction.

Why Low Ash Content Matters

Ash content is one of the defining quality parameters for recovered carbon black. Ash largely originates from the inorganic and plastic residues carried in the feedstock and retained through the process. A lower ash level brings recovered carbon black much closer to the performance of virgin carbon black, making it easier to substitute into rubber compounds, industrial products, and plastics without sacrificing mechanical or chemical properties. Producers that can deliver low-ash rCB consistently separate themselves in a market where buyers remain cautious about fully replacing virgin material.

Building an Integrated Tyre Pyrolysis Offer

Alongside rCB, the company produces tyre pyrolysis oil as a second output stream. Tire pyrolysis converts end-of-life tyres into oil, recovered carbon char, steel, and off-gas; the oil can serve as an industrial or fuel feedstock while the solid carbon fraction carries the higher-value opportunity. Tire pyrolysis operators that sell both products, rather than a single stream, improve the overall economics of the plant.

Quality, Consistency, and Emissions

The company’s focus on consistency and emissions reduction aligns with how the broader sector is developing. Rubber compounders will only adopt rCB at scale once it is batch-to-batch consistent, and what is recovered carbon black can and cannot do depends on the quality of each producer’s process. Emissions-directed plant design also supports the sustainability story buyers increasingly ask for when evaluating pyrolysis oil and rCB suppliers.

India’s Role in the rCB Opportunity

India has long been one of the world’s most active markets for end-of-life tyre processing, and a producer explicitly chasing the low-ash segment of the rCB market signals how the region is moving up the value chain. Rather than competing on volume alone, entrants are competing on material quality, thermal consistency, and the traceability that industrial buyers require before they displace virgin carbon black in demanding compounds.
