On April 8, the Continental Executive Board has decided to make the ContiTech group sector independent. The preparatory phase that now follows will involve analyzing and assessing the possible transaction forms for independence and drawing up a timetable for implementation. The Executive Board will decide on this in the next step. As things stand, Continental considers a sale of ContiTech to be the most likely option.

Kal Tire is redefining sustainable practices in the mining sector through its advanced recycling facility in Antofagasta, Chile, which focuses on the recovery of ultra-class mining tires. Opened in 2021, the plant uses a proprietary thermal conversion process that transforms end-of-life tires into valuable resources such as alternative fuel, high-tensile steel, and recovered carbon black (rCB).

You can recognize the efforts of companies and individuals in the tire and rubber industry by sending your submission for the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada's 2025 Industry Leadership Awards.

UK-based tyre recycler Big Atom has formed an official partnership with Tyre Spot, a large independent tyre wholesaler in the Northeast of England. The agreement aims to improve the efficiency and compliance of used tyre disposal across Tyre Spot’s network.

Recent debates have questioned chemical recycling technologies' environmental effectiveness and practicality, mainly the production and use of pyrolysis oil derived from plastic waste. Critics argue that pyrolysis oil might exacerbate ecological problems rather than solve them, claiming that chemical recycling does not represent true recycling and potentially undermines broader waste reduction initiatives. However, evidence-based analyses indicate that these technologies, particularly pyrolysis, play a significant and beneficial role when implemented responsibly.

Enviro's recovered carbon black has been used by Swedish rubber and plastic manufacturer AnVa to develop climarub, one of the world’s first completely climate-neutral rubber compounds. “The launch clearly demonstrates the great commercial value of recycling in achieving climate neutrality,” says Fredrik Emilson, CEO of Enviro.

The Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC) announced today that the 2025 Rubber Recycling Symposium is set for October 8-9 at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel in Calgary, Alberta. TRAC invites industry leaders across the tire and rubber value chain—tire manufacturers, rubber recyclers, recycled product innovators, end-of-life tire (ELT) stewardship organizations, policymakers, and equipment manufacturers—to connect at one of the most significant events in the field.

The Carbon Black World conference returns to the U.S. for its momentous 20th anniversary. With world events causing uncertainty and subsequent supply and demand issues, this timely event will give an in-depth analysis of markets and pending legislation. Industry challenges will be addressed, sustainability challenges will be explored, and the latest innovations will be discussed to provide a full 360 degree view of the carbon black world.

The Circular Rubber Platform is a global online community designed to bring together rubber specialists, companies, and innovators dedicated to accelerating circularity in the rubber industry.
