Smithers is set to host Carbon Black World (CBW) next week in Fort Worth, Texas on May 12–13. With the event just days away, this is your final chance to secure a spot.

Allianz Insurance Singapore has introduced Recycle My Tyres, a pioneering initiative aimed at promoting sustainable tyre disposal and reducing automotive waste across the country. In partnership with local recycler Global Enviro Technology, the programme is the first of its kind led by an insurer in Singapore.

Recovered carbon black (rCB) represents a transformative opportunity in the transition toward sustainable industrial materials. Derived from the pyrolysis of end-of-life tires (ELT), rCB offers a compelling alternative to virgin carbon black (vCB), significantly reducing environmental impacts while supporting circular economy principles. As industries seek to reduce their carbon footprint, enhance resource efficiency, and increase the use of recycled inputs, rCB has emerged as a commercially viable and environmentally responsible material.

Smithers is gearing up to host Carbon Black World (CBW) 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas on May 12–13. With the event now just around the corner, it’s the last chance to secure your spot — and Weibold is offering a 10% discount on registration with the exclusive promo code “CBW25WB.”

LD Carbon, a resource recycling startup founded in 2017, has opened Korea’s first and largest end-of-life tire (ELT) pyrolysis facility in Dangjin. Every year, South Korea generates approximately 400,000 tons of ELTs, creating significant waste management challenges. Unlike conventional methods, LD Carbon uses advanced technology to transform pyrolysis byproducts into recovered carbon black (rCB), used in the production of new tires.

A recent technical overview from Reoil Sp. z o.o., distributed by HARKE GROUP, evaluates the feasibility of using recovered carbon black (rCB) in printing ink formulations. Derived via pyrolysis of end-of-life tires, this rCB offers sustainability advantages by reducing reliance on virgin carbon black and lowering overall carbon emissions. The material also presents cost efficiency, making it an attractive option for large-scale ink production.

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).

Researchers from Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology, in collaboration with international partners, have developed an innovative method to convert recovered carbon black (rCB)—a by-product of pyrolysis of end-of-life tires (ELTs)—into reduced graphene oxide (rGO). This sustainable approach offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional graphene production while supporting circular economy principles.

Pyrum Innovations AG (Pyrum) and the bicycle tyre manufacturer Ralf Bohle GmbH (brand: “Schwalbe”) have concluded a framework agreement for the long-term purchase of Pyrum’s recovered Carbon Black (rCB). The agreement covers the purchase of rCB at a fixed price for a term of ten years. This is already the second framework agreement of this scope that Pyrum has been able to conclude, in addition to the one with Continental. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. Schwalbe’s supply of bicycle tyres to Pyrum will also be further expanded in this context.
