Klean Industries is pleased to welcome Dave Abdallah, a tire industry veteran and former manager of tire development at Bridgestone, as a Strategic Advisor to help scale circular economy solutions and recovered carbon black applications.
Vancouver, Canada — Klean Industries Inc. (“Klean”), a leading tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer that designs and builds pyrolysis projects for processing hydrocarbon-based waste such as end-of-life tires, announced today that tire and recovered carbon black (rCB) expert, Dave Abdallah has joined the KleanTeam as Senior Strategic Advisor. Mr. Abdallah has previously worked with Bolder Industries and Delta Energy Group after spending more than 20 years at Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations.
Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO of Klean Industries, stated, “Mr. Dave Abdallah joins us at this exciting time in Klean Industries’ development. Dave’s breadth of experience in the tire and rubber industries, his chemical and technical background, and his dedication and passion for these circular economy solutions make him an outstanding team member. Dave’s expertise and background will support Klean’s position as the leading state-of-the-art manufacturer of unique specialty tire-derived chemicals with valued applications across many industries.
“We are especially honored because we consider Dave to be one of the true pioneers in developing recovered carbon black for utilization by tire and rubber industries. Dave’s research and development activities at Bridgestone and Delta Energy made Bridgestone the first tire maker to incorporate recovered carbon black in the tire manufacturing process. Dave’s role was critical in creating the rCB industry we all support today.”
Klean Industries owns the proprietary technology that has been in operation since 2016, making it the only continuously operating, commercial-scale tire pyrolysis plant in Europe. Based on its success, plans are underway to increase the plant’s capacity in 2024 from 20,000TPA to 60,000TPA. Klean is also shovel-ready to build the largest tire pyrolysis plant in the United States in Oregon. In addition, the company is in the advanced stages of building commercial-scale plants in Australia and Europe.
