Klean Industries has officially surpassed 100,000 metric tons of recovered carbon black (rCB) produced and distributed, reinforcing its leadership in clean tire recycling, circular carbon recovery, and scalable low-carbon manufacturing solutions.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Klean Industries Inc (“Klean”) is pleased to announce that Klean’s recovered Carbon Black (rCB) technology has reached a significant milestone in the annual production and distribution of recovered Carbon Black, which is now exceeding 100,000 metric tonnes annually. Klean is an industry leader in plant design and equipment manufacturing for resource recovery and energy from the waste sector. A key specialization technology of the Company is its intellectual property and know-how for processing scrap tires that transform waste tires into high-quality, valuable raw materials, primarily recovered Carbon Black, Oil, and Steel.

Klean’s tire 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 Klean Team targets customers who demand superior quality and environmental sustainability to replace virgin Carbon Blacks in the N300 to N700 series range. The Company’s commercial-scale volumes of rCB are sold on long-term contracts with various parties around the globe that specialize in the production of mechanical rubber, masterbatch plastics, and colorants for a multitude of industrial applications ranging from automotive to construction-based materials.

“We see a significant market opportunity that we are now focusing the vast amount of our manufacturing capabilities on producing recovered Carbon Black. An opportunity like this rarely happens, and the market is so significant for alternative applications outside of tires that we cannot produce enough material right now”, said Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO of Klean Industries Inc.

The Klean Team has mastered the technology and process controls to produce quality assurance and environmental compliance. We have also completed decades of R&D and have significantly reduced production costs from both a CAPEX and OPEX perspective while constantly developing the supply chain for the products produced from tire pyrolysis, specifically the sales of recovered Carbon Black products.

Klean believes it has developed the largest production sales network of any rCB manufacturer globally because of our focus on quality, consistency, and the relationships needed to develop and test products that have created long-term sales of meaningful value. Considering the growing demand for rCB, in 2017, ASTM International created Committee D36 to establish industry standards for recovered Carbon Black. The Klean Team’s personnel are key members of this Committee and contribute to these standards and test protocols being adopted worldwide.

For each kilogram of rCB used as a replacement for traditional virgin Carbon Blacks, approximately 1.5 to 2 kilograms of crude oil are offset, which also translates to a significant CO2 emissions savings of approximately 3 metric tonnes for every tonne replaced with rCB.

Klean sees the tire pyrolysis and rCB opportunity as a symbiotic relationship between new product production and resource recovery. This advancement will lead to a revolution in tire manufacturing and recycling, in which both industries become fully integrated.

100,000+ MT of Recovered Carbon Black — and Growing

With over 100,000 metric tons of rCB now produced and distributed, Klean Industries is delivering on its mission to transform end-of-life tires into sustainable, high-performance carbon black alternatives. Our global production and supply capacity supports the shift to a circular, low-carbon future.
