Orion S.A. has indicated that supply chain disruption linked to tensions in the Middle East could create more favorable conditions for Western carbon black producers, while noting that market conditions remain highly uncertain.

or the second quarter of 2026, Enviro reported net revenues of MSEK 0.3, compared with MSEK 19.9 in the corresponding period of 2025. Earnings after tax for the quarter amounted to MSEK -27.1, compared with MSEK -21.2 a year earlier. Earnings per share before dilution were SEK -0.02, unchanged from the corresponding period last year. Cash flow after investments for the quarter was MSEK -21.6, compared with MSEK -49.6 in the second quarter of 2025.

In order to promote the sustainable development of road engineering, this study used waste tire rubber powder (RP) and surface organic layered double hydroxide (SOM-LDHs) to modify 70# matrix asphalt. The Box–Behnken design response surface method with three factors (rubber powder content, surface organic layered double hydroxide content, shear temperature) and three responses (penetration, ductility, softening point) was used to optimize the preparation parameters. The optimum formula was determined to be 21.7% rubber powder content, 4.8% surface organic layered double hydroxide content, and 160 °C shear temperature.

A final order to liquidate the Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of South Africa (Redisa) – a body responsible for tire collection and tire recycling – issued two years ago has been repealed by the South African Supreme Court of Appeal following numerous allegations that the project was involved in corrupt schemes. Prior to reaching the verdict, the judges had a dispute as the majority claimed that there was no just reason for the environmental affairs minister Edna Molewa to bring the case to court due to lacking evidence that Redisa’s directors and the initiative’s ally Kusaga Taka Consulting (KT) conducted any violations.

Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB (Enviro) is once again nominated at the Recircle Awards, this year in the Tyre Pyrolysis Award category. In addition, CEO Thomas Sörensson is nominated for the Best Company Director award. Enviro has previously won the Tyre Pyrolysis Award twice and Best Tyre Recycler last year. "Enviro is making international progress and our technology is constantly being recognized, it is a great honor to be nominated together with other important sustainability players. Awards like this further highlight the importance of circular solutions for tire recycling," says Thomas Sörensson, CEO of Enviro.

Robert Weibold – an internationally renowned expert in the field of tire recycling and tire pyrolysis – will speak at Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPE with presentation on "Status quo pyrolysis and current projects, trends in used tire recycling". The event will take place on April 25, 2024. If you would like to connect with Robert Weibold, discuss business opportunities or request information on consulting services, please send your inquiry at sales@weibold.com.

Wastefront AS – a Norwegian waste tire recycling company – in collaboration with leading Swedish chemical engineering company Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB – announced that it has been awarded a €2 million grant from Eureka Eurostars, the world’s largest funding-program for business collaborations in creating innovative products for commercialisation, and the Norwegian Research Council and the Swedish Innovation Agency. The total project-funding amounts to €2.076 million: €1.038 million from Eurostars and €1.038 million from project partners.

Specifically, recovered Carbon Black (rCB) and Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO), obtained through thermolysis processes from used tires, should be classified as valuable secondary products rather than waste. The lack of harmonization between the EU Waste Framework Directive and the EU Chemicals Regulation REACH could otherwise spell the end of chemical circular economy initiatives for used tires.

The Saskatoon-based tire recycling company confirmed it accepts the payment as full and final resolution of its claims. According to the province, Shercom “acknowledges that it will have no further claims related to any matters raised in the lawsuit.” Additional settlement details remain confidential.
