Karnataka Tire Recycling

Epsilon Carbon is taking a significant step towards strengthening India’s tyre recycling infrastructure with its latest investment in a cutting-edge tyre recycling plant in Karnataka. As the country grapples with rising waste tyre volumes, this move supports India’s circular economy, recovered carbon black (rCB) production, and sustainable energy generation. This market analysis explores the impact of this investment, key trends in tyre pyrolysis and recycling, and how sustainable waste management solutions are shaping the future of India’s rubber and carbon industries.

Epsilon Carbon is enhancing its sustainability initiatives with the planned development of a fully integrated tyre recycling facility in the South Indian state of Karnataka. The facility is anticipated to be operational by fiscal year 2026.

The new facility will recycle 30,000 tonnes of tyres annually, producing 9,500 tonnes of recovered carbon black and 12,000 tonnes of tyre-derived oil. This demonstrates Epsilon Carbon’s dedication to a circular economy.

Launch new product line ‘Terrablack’ at Bharat Mobility Global Expo

Epsilon Carbon, a well-known name in the carbon black manufacturing industry, announced the launch of Terrablack, a product line focused on sustainability. The unveiling occurred at the Bharat Mobility Show’s India International Tyre Exhibition in New Delhi.

Vikram Handa, Managing Director of Epsilon Carbon, stated, “Terrablack is designed to innovate and contribute to environmental protection while supporting industries in their efforts toward sustainability. We believe that innovation, performance, and sustainability should be integrated, and Terrablack represents this approach, marking a significant step in our goal to advance the carbon black industry and work towards a sustainable future.”

Terrablack is designed to address the growing demand for sustainable carbon black. Using recovered Carbon Black (rCB) and Tyre Derived Oil (TDO), this product line aims to shape the future of carbon black production. It offers high-performance, eco-friendly solutions that meet the needs of both the tyre and non-tyre industries. After 24 months of in-depth testing and collaboration, Terrablack brings together innovation and responsibility in complete balance.

The Terrablack portfolio includes Terrablack 3310, engineered for heavy-duty applications like tyre treads, offering superior wear resistance and durability. Terrablack 6615, is designed for flexibility and resilience, ideal for tyre sidewalls, hoses, belts, and sealing systems.

Both products are formulated to complement traditional virgin carbon black, delivering the same quality with a significantly reduced environmental impact. The Terrablack products can lower the Global Warming Potential (GWP) by 40-50 percent, supporting global ecological goals and aiding compliance with India’s Tyre Extended Producer Responsibility standards.

With Terrablack, Epsilon Carbon is setting a new standard, proving that sustainability does not have to come at the cost of performance.

Epsilon Carbon, established in 2017, is a leading player in the carbon industry, committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions. With manufacturing operations in Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha, it is one of the most significant specialty carbon and carbon black exporters. Its carbon black facility has an annual capacity of 115,000 metric tons, while the specialty carbon facility has a capacity of 320,000 TPA.
