Ecolomondo Corporation, a leading innovator in sustainable tire recycling technology, announces that it expects to soon receive its new milling line. As previously announced, the Company was in the final stages of the commercialization of its Hawkesbury TDP facility when it discovered a major deficiency in its recovered carbon black milling line that was already installed. After numerous months of testing, the milling line was incapable to achieve the promised output of 1,600 lbs per hour of recovered carbon black (rCB) nor was it capable to yield a particle size of 10-15 microns, the particle size promised and required by most of the Company’s rCB off-takers.

Researchers at the University of Delaware have introduced an innovative method to address the environmental and health challenges posed by toxic chemicals in end-of-life tires, particularly 6PPD. This molecule, used in tires for UV protection, releases harmful particles during tire wear and landfill decomposition, contaminating waterways and causing significant ecological harm, including fish die-offs.
