Unlock the fastest, most compliant route to the European market for your recovered carbon black (rCB) business. This comprehensive Weibold Report offers a clear, side-by-side comparison of REACH registration pathways for non-EU-based rCB producers. It outlines practical approaches to facilitate EU market access, minimize compliance risks, and strengthen the regulatory credibility of your recycled carbon black products.

Tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) has landed at the intersection of two big policy drives: circularity for end-of-life tires (ELTs) and the EU’s push to scale recycled carbon fuels under RED III. Chemistry is attractive — a liquid fuel from a widespread waste stream — but the arithmetic is brutal. Combustion emissions alone push TPO very close to conventional diesel on a life-cycle basis, meaning TPO alone cannot meet RED III’s 70% GHG reduction requirement without using credits tied to the tires’ alternative fate. Properly applied e_ex-use (diversion) credits are therefore decisive: they can turn TPO from a near-miss into a qualifying recycled carbon fuel — but only if the baseline is robustly documented and upstream emissions are tightly controlled.

The Recovered Carbon Black Europe 2025 conference takes place next week, November 4–6, in Barcelona, Spain. Organized by Smithers, the event will bring together leading experts, manufacturers, and innovators to discuss the latest developments and breakthroughs in recovered carbon black.

ARESOL Renovables, a Spanish renewable energy and circular economy group, has entered into a definitive agreement with Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTC: ECLMF) to establish "Ecolomondo EU," a European subsidiary headquartered in Spain. The partnership will oversee the development of at least four tire pyrolysis plants utilizing Ecolomondo's Thermal Decomposition Process (TDP) technology across the European Union.

On October 21, Bridgestone held a groundbreaking ceremony on October 21 for its new pilot demonstration plant for precise pyrolysis*1of end-of-life tires at its plant in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The ceremony brought together 32 participants, such as Seki City Mayor Kiyoshi Yamashita and representatives from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, as well as other stakeholders, who gathered to pray for the safety of the construction of the new plant.

The upcoming 5th European Carbon Black Summit, taking place on 3rd–4th December 2025 in Prague, will bring industry leaders together to address one of the most pressing issues facing the carbon black value chain: the balance between virgin and recovered carbon black (rCB) in Europe’s fast-changing market.

Pyrum Innovations AG has scheduled the official groundbreaking ceremony for its new tire recycling plant in Perl-Besch, Germany, for November 14, 2025. The facility, which will be the company's largest to date, is designed to process more than 22,000 tons of end-of-life tires annually and will be fully owned and operated by Pyrum. Once operational, the plant will more than double the company's total recycling capacity.

Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTCQB: ECLMF), a leading Canadian innovator in sustainable scrap tire recycling technology, announced a steady increase of output in its thermal decomposition department at the Hawkesbury TDP facility. In order to support the increased demand for its end-products, the Company reports that it achieved new production levels and recently performed 4 double batches in 4 days, all in automatic mode. During these 4 production days, the TDP facility processed 60 tons of crumb rubber and recovered approximately 24 tons of recovered carbon black (“rCB”), 6 tons of syngas and 350 barrels of tire-derived oil, the equivalent of over 2 tanker loads of oil.

The Latin American Rubber Technology Society (SLTC) has announced the 4th Latin American Tire Recycling Conference, to be held from November 12–14, 2025, at the Ágora Bogotá Convention Center. The event will bring together professionals, companies, and institutions involved in tire recycling, the circular economy, and sustainable technologies.
