Global leading tire company Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook Tire) has commenced the mass production of its tires utilizing three types of ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) PLUS certified carbon black. The carbon black, derived from end-of-life tire pyrolysis oil, was developed through the Tire-to-Tire Circular Economy Model consortium.

Warsaw, Poland – November 4, 2024 – Contec S.A. is excited to announce the completion of its third and fourth pyrolysis lines, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth and execution within budget. This milestone from last year's strategic investment includes installing and commissioning our third and fourth pyrolysis lines. These new lines, which are already operational, are a step forward in Contec’s mission to provide sustainable, circular products to the automotive and tire industries.

Reoil – a tire pyrolysis operator from Polish – has announced its exclusive partnership with HARKE Chemicals GmbH, who will distribute the company's "ReBlack" recovered carbon black (rCB) and tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) in Europe and the United Kingdom. According to Reoil, this collaboration focuses on sustainability and the circular economy. Reoil's products, which are obtained from the recovery of end-of-life-tires (ELT), offer environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional raw materials and help reduce waste and CO2 emissions.

On September 5, Vow ASA announced that its subsidiary Scanship AS has signed a FEED (Front End Engineering Design) contract with Murfitts Industries, a leading end-of-life tire recycling company. This contract represents the latest milestone in a collaborative program between the two companies focused on developing a process to recover and reuse raw materials from end-of-life tires on a commercial scale. One of the primary goals of this initiative is to allow manufacturers to incorporate recovered materials into new tire production, thereby closing the loop in the tire lifecycle.

Marubeni Corporation, one of Japan’s largest trading companies, has announced its investment in Green Rubber Energy Company Limited (GRE), a company specializing in End-of-Life Tire (ELT) pyrolysis recycling in Thailand. This strategic investment aims to establish a sustainable tire recycling supply chain and mitigate the environmental impact associated with tire disposal.

Bridgestone EMEA (Bridgestone), Grupo BB&G (BB&G) and Versalis (Eni) announced the signing of an agreement aimed at establishing a closed-loop ecosystem to transform end-of-life tyres into new tyres. The agreement will bring together the innovation, experience and technological skills of all three companies. The partnership aims to develop a model for the creation of a scalable and increasingly sustainable supply chain. Around one billion tyres reach the end of their useful service life every year, according to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)’s Tire Industry Project1. Bridgestone, BB&G and Versalis are seeking a solution that provides innovative and more environmentally responsible ways to address increased sustainability in the synthetic rubber business, helping to maximise the complete lifecycle of a tyre.

End-of-life tires (ELTs) represent a significant environmental challenge globally, with over 1 billion tires produced and discarded each year. Their durability and complex composition, which includes a mix of rubber compounds, metals, textiles, and fillers, make them particularly difficult to recycle. Traditional disposal methods like incineration and landfilling not only fail to recover valuable materials but also contribute to environmental degradation. As the world seeks more sustainable recycling practices, pyrolysis—a process of thermal decomposition in an inert atmosphere—has emerged as a promising alternative. This method allows for the recovery of valuable products such as recovered carbon black (rCB) and tire pyrolysis oil (TPO), including limonene, a solvent derived from the degradation of rubber components. However, achieving consistent, high-quality outputs through pyrolysis requires careful control of both feedstock characteristics and process parameters.

Weibold is pleased to support the 29th annual Chemfest—REACT 2024-25, organized by the Department of Chemistry at S.P. Mandali’s Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College. This year’s festival is themed "Viksit Bharat" (Developed India) with a special focus on "AI in Chemistry," reflecting the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and chemical sciences.

As the construction of the Uddevalla recycling plant continues, Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB (publ) has released a half-year report. Second quarter 2024: Net revenues for the period were MSEK 58.5(3.6) Earnings after tax for the period were MSEK 30.5 (-25.3) Earnings per share for the period (before dilution) was SEK 0.04 (-0.03)
