On September 15-17, China is going to hold The 32nd Annual Conference of China Tyre Recycling Association and The First International Cooperation Summit on Tire and Rubber Recycling in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China. Robert Weibold is speaking at the event among other renowned international experts invited by China Tyre Recycling Association. In addition to highlighting up-to-date trends in tire recycling and pyrolysis, Robert Weibold will also elaborate on how Europeans see Chinese technology providers for these industries.

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical pathway to treat vulcanized rubber for the recovery of valuable products. It involves the decomposition of the rubber at high temperatures (400 – 900°C) in the absence of an oxygen atmosphere. The main products of pyrolysis are a solid fraction, usually raw carbon black (according to ASTM D8178); a liquid fraction comprised of light oil, heavy oil, and tar; and a gas fraction.

LD Carbon, a Seoul-based producer of recovered carbon black (rCB), has closed a $28 million Series C funding round led by Toyota's growth fund, Woven Capital, with participation by Meritz Securities, Investwith, Industrial Bank of Korea, Hyundai Motor Group Zer01ne, Elohim Partners and New Main Capital. LD Carbon will use the investment to scale operations to recycle end-of-life tires and materials from end-of-life vehicles into rCB and tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) through pyrolysis, which can be used to create new automotive parts and tires. The company says the investment will advance its mission of accelerating the circular economy while delivering material cost and carbon savings to global customers.

When end-of-life tires reach the end of their life cycle, they become hazardous for the environment and human health if they are dumped in landfills. Made of synthetic rubber, chemicals, and additives, these tires contaminate water and land, pose a high risk of fire, generate harmful gases when burned, and serve as breeding grounds for insect-borne epidemics. These concerns are particularly relevant in Mexico, where an estimated 32 million tires are discarded annually, equivalent to one tire per second. Unfortunately, only 12% of these tires are recycled, with the majority ending up in landfills.

A recent press release by Kal Tire – Canada’s largest independent tire dealer and one of North America’s largest commercial tire dealers – tells about its first thermal conversion recycling facility set to open in Antofagasta, Chile, in 2019. The press release also elaborates on how developing government relationships was just as critical to the company as developing a viable recycling solution.

TEMA Process attended and exhibited at the Smither's Recovered Carbon Black Conference in Barcelone to present its fluid bed dryer solutions for recovered carbon black. Egberts also highlighted the importance of industry events in understanding evolving market requirements and technological trends within the rCB sector. He concluded by outlining how TEMA Process had focused on energy savings, operational efficiency and safety as key differentiators, helping the company build a competitive advantage in the rapidly developing tyre pyrolysis and carbon black recovery market.

Prior to the conflict, tire recycling was not a major focus in Ukraine, with just 10% of the 180,000-200,000 tons of end-of-life tires recycled each year. According to German surveys, until recently, the vast majority of all Ukrainian garbage was delivered to landfills.
