Klean Industries was a featured speaker at the European Carbon Black Summit, where it shared insights on recovered carbon black (rCB), tire pyrolysis technology, and the growing demand for sustainable alternatives in the global rubber and plastics industries.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Klean Industries Inc. (“Klean”), a leading tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer that designs and builds pyrolysis projects for processing hydrocarbon-based waste such as scrap tires, is pleased to announce that its CEO, Mr. Jesse Klinkhamer, will be a featured speaker at the European Carbon Black Summit for the second time on June 14th and 15th, 2023, in Frankfurt, Germany.

With the ever-pressing questions of feedstock availability, sustainability & recycling, and fluctuation of feedstock prices, which the European carbon black industry faces shortly, the industry must adapt to these new objectives and developments and work together to ensure a smooth and thriving transition. ACI’s The European Carbon Black Summit will bring together key industry stakeholders to discuss current challenges and future opportunities within the carbon black industry. 

European Carbon Black Summit will provide another unique forum for chemical companies, carbon black manufacturers, carbon black users, plastic and rubber manufacturers, masterbatch processors, and tire manufacturers to hear from pyrolysis industry veterans, experts, and innovators who will share their perspectives of the rapidly growing Recovered Carbon Black market. Several industry leaders worldwide will share their expertise, case studies, projects, and the latest developments.

Building on the success of the last edition of the summit, we are delighted to be back with ACI’s 3rd European Carbon Black Summit, which will take place on June 14th and 15th, 2023, in Frankfurt, Germany.

Virgin Carbon Black (“vCB”) demand is forecasted to increase, and addressing this increase will be very challenging as the war in Ukraine has already caused a significant gap in the supply of virgin carbon black. Some experts in this field say that the supply shortage of CB has increased by 40% compared to the years before the war. The main focus of this summit will be to address these issues. With key topics such as CB market overview, improving sustainability in the industry, achieving superiority in the supply chain, and others, we will try to give answers to these pressing issues. The focus will also be on improving standardization in recovered carbon black (“rCB”) and problems with calculating the life cycle of tires.

As is evident, the European CB industry is facing big challenges in the virgin and recovered carbon black industries. Adapting to the new situation will require a lot of energy and time, which will be key for the industry to continue progressing and meeting the demands of the end users.

This two-day event will bring together senior representatives of the different stakeholders involved in the sector, including producers, technology developers, rubber producers, chemical suppliers, researchers, and other influential stakeholders from the value chain.

Key Topics:

• Overview of the carbon black market
• Impact of the Ukrainian war on the carbon black market
• Addressing the supply chain disruption
• Improving the capacity of production of rCB
• Solutions to combat these shortages in the future
• REACH 2022
• Policy Frameworks and Safety Regulations regarding Carbon Black
• Overview of existing standardization in rCB
• ASTM Committee D36
• Future standardization and its implementation to rCB processes
