- Using recovered carbon black in new tire production reduces CO2 emissions by up to 85% compared to virgin materials
- Recovered carbon black is at technology readiness level 7 (demonstration and full-scale engineering) while renewable carbon black is at technology readiness level 6 (pilot trials)
- Less than 1% of all carbon black used globally in new tire production comes from recycle ELTs.
- Details of the unprecedented interest in sustainable carbon black and its current role in the market
- The sustainability agenda of global tire producers and their use of sustainable carbon black
- Examination of alternative rubber fillers with improved carbon footprint from recycled or biobased feedstocks
- Current production methods of sustainable carbon black, the regulatory landscape and the future outlook of the market.
Standard furnace carbon blacks and their production from fossil feedstocks are in conflict with tire producers that have defined objectives for recycled and biobased content in their products. The resulting higher interest in alternative fillers as replacement for furnace carbons is covered in this report. Recovered carbon black can reduce the tire industry’s reliance on petrochemicals by replacing a portion of traditional carbon black with a sustainable and circular alternative without introducing performance trade-offs. This report details the new sustainable market entrants that are produced with advanced process technology. The details of how global carbon black markets are being impacted by supply disruptions in Europe and the US are also covered.
