Recovered Carbon Black

Recovered carbon black is becoming a strategic raw material for tire manufacturing as the industry works to cut its environmental footprint without sacrificing performance, safety, or profitability.

A Strategic Material for Sustainable Tires

Carbon black is one of the most essential raw materials in tire manufacturing, contributing durability, wear resistance, UV protection, and overall tire performance. Traditionally it is produced from fossil-based feedstocks through energy-intensive processes.

Recovered carbon black changes that equation. Through advanced tire pyrolysis, end-of-life tires are transformed into valuable materials including rCB, recovering a significant portion of the carbon content and reintroducing it into the production cycle instead of sending it to landfill.

Performance, Supply Security, and Compliance

For tire makers, rCB addresses three pressures at once. On sustainability, it reduces dependency on virgin fossil-based raw materials and lowers CO₂ emissions compared with conventional carbon black production. On supply security, it provides a more localized feedstock source that is less exposed to international price volatility. And on compliance, it helps manufacturers meet recycled-content requirements and ESG targets as regulators push for greater sustainability.

Closing the Loop on End-of-Life Tires

Every year, millions of end-of-life tires are generated worldwide. Rather than low-value disposal, tire pyrolysis recovers both recovered carbon black and pyrolysis oil, creating a genuinely circular tire economy. As recycling technology matures and scales, rCB is positioned to become an increasingly cost-competitive alternative to virgin carbon black.

Leading tire manufacturers, recyclers, and material suppliers are investing in recovered carbon black technology because the next generation of tires will be defined as much by sustainability as by performance.
