Klean Signs LOI to Supply 5 Recovered Carbon Black Plants in India
Klean Industries has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to supply five additional recovered carbon black (rCB) plants across India. This move marks a major step in expanding clean tire recycling technologies and circular economy solutions in one of the world’s largest tire markets.
Vancouver, British Columbia — Klean Industries Inc (“Klean”) is pleased to announce the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent to supply equipment for five more rCB upgrading projects in India, which will bring the total number of built facilities to 8 in just India alone over the past 2 years. Klean’s presence and activity in Asia are expanding. There has been a growing interest in Klean’s advanced technology, which is required to produce high-quality, low-cost Recovered Carbon Black (“rCB”) throughout Southeast Asia. Klean anticipates further expansions as the demand for rCB is significant, especially with the virgin carbon black shortages and import tariffs on Carbon Black in India.
A core part of Klean’s intellectual property and know-how is the processing of scrap tyres. Klean has a proven portfolio of advanced technologies that transform waste tires into high-quality, valuable raw materials, primarily Recovered Carbon Black and Recovered Fuel Oil. Klean’s tyre char upgrading systems enable the economic conversion of low-value tire char into high-value Carbon Black replacements, which can replace virgin Carbon Black by volumes of 10% up to 100% depending on the applications. The additional expansion and equipment sales in India could significantly disrupt the rCB marketplace and help make India a leading producer of rCB products for the plastic, automotive, and rubber industries. These new resource recovery plants have the potential to quickly bring online another 75,000 metric tonnes of rCB annually. This, combined with the existing supply chain and product portfolio, makes for an exciting and growing business opportunity in India.
Klean is working with several of the largest global tyre manufacturers, rubber, and plastic automotive parts suppliers, along with numerous other supply line producers and end-users who all see the market potential and opportunity for rCB to offset emissions and costs associated with traditional carbon black manufacturing. It’s estimated that the carbon emission offsets alone from these combined facilities will be more than 225,000 metric tonnes annually.
Klean’s CEO said, “With ongoing developments, Klean has brought its recovered carbon black plant manufacturing costs down considerably and its quality of production techniques up, thus enabling further rapid expansion into other adjacent Asia countries as well. Klean has spent years developing its relationships, and with long-term arrangements in place throughout the supply chain, Klean can do what other vendors and suppliers cannot, at less than 50% of the capital costs”.
Klean has further reinforced its current business initiatives by coupling its manufacturing capabilities with trade finance relationships. By establishing and strengthening international trade finance relationships with the Export Development Bank of Canada (www.edc.ca) and Elevate Financial Corp (www.elevatefinance.ca), the company is now able to offer new and existing customers financing on competitive terms for loans to purchase plants and equipment of all sizes on approved credit (“OAC”) of up to 85%, both secured and unsecured, depending on size and financial requirements.
