The Symposium will bring together industry professionals from across the tire recycling, carbon black, rubber, and polymer value chains for three days of technical presentations, networking, and discussions focused on the latest developments in rCB production, testing, applications, and market opportunities.

The facility is co-funded by the European Union's Innovation Fund — one of the world's largest programs for demonstrating innovative low-carbon technologies, financed through EU Emissions Trading System revenues and managed by CINEA — and supported by equity investment from Tiger Infrastructure Partners. The Innovation Fund backs flagship initiatives that deliver significant greenhouse gas reductions across energy-intensive industries. This facility directly fulfills that mandate, demonstrating how industrial manufacturing can reduce emissions at scale by replacing fossil fuel-derived virgin carbon black with sustainable, mass-balanced, traceable alternatives.

The facility is also expected to generate approximately 21,000 tonnes annually of tire-derived oil through the company's pyrolysis process.
