Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional carbon black, which is a commonly used material in various industries, especially in rubber, plastics, and ink manufacturing. rCB is obtained through the recycling of end-of-life tires or other rubber products that contain carbon black. During the recycling process, these products are subjected to thermal or chemical treatments to remove the rubber and other contaminants, leaving behind carbon black particles.
At a predicted CAGR of 55.0% from 2018 to 2023, the size of the global Recovered Carbon Black Market is expected to increase from USD 55 million in 2018 to USD 491 million by 2023.

What is Recovered Carbon Black?
Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional carbon black, which is a commonly used black pigment in various industries. Carbon black is primarily derived from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, such as oil or natural gas, and is widely used in rubber, plastics, inks, coatings, and other products due to its unique properties, such as its reinforcing and coloring capabilities.
However, the production of conventional carbon black generates a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions and consumes a considerable amount of energy and natural resources. To address these environmental concerns and promote a circular economy, recovered carbon black has emerged as a more environmentally friendly option.
Recovered carbon black is obtained through the recycling and reprocessing of end-of-life rubber products, such as tires, conveyor belts, and other rubber goods. The recycling process involves collecting waste rubber products and subjecting them to pyrolysis or other sustainable processes, which break down the rubber into its constituent components, including carbon black.
The resulting recovered carbon black shares many of the properties of traditional carbon black and can be used as a substitute in various applications. It helps reduce the environmental impact of carbon black production by reusing valuable resources and reducing waste.
The adoption of recovered carbon black aligns with the principles of sustainability, as it minimizes carbon emissions, conserves raw materials, and promotes a circular economy model where materials are recycled and reused instead of being disposed of as waste. As the demand for sustainable solutions increases and environmental regulations become more stringent, the market for recovered carbon black continues to grow as an attractive alternative to traditional carbon black.

Recovered Carbon Black Market Players
The key players in the recovered carbon black market are Pyrolyx AG (Germany), Delta Energy Group (US), Black Bear Carbon (Netherlands), Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB (publ) (Sweden), Klean Industries Inc (Canada), Radhe Group - India (India), Alpha Carbone (France), Bolder Industries (US), Dron Indústria De Equipamentos Elétricos (Slovakia), DVA Group Renewable Energy JSC (Vietnam), Enrestec (Taiwan), Integrated Resource Recovery, Inc. (US), and SR2O Holdings (US). These players adopted expansions, agreements, and joint ventures as their key growth strategies from 2015 to 2018, which helped them increase their capacities and cater to the widening customer base.
Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB (publ) (Sweden) adopted agreement as its primary strategy to increase its geographic presence. The company, in December 2018, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EE-TDF Cleveland (US), a company involved in tire recycling. Under this agreement, the companies will construct a recycling plant with a capacity of recycling about 30 kilotons tires/year at the existing site of EE-TDF Cleveland located in Texas, US. This agreement will enable Enviro to increase its footprint in the US market. In June 2018, the company signed an MoU with Treadcraft Limited (US), a tire recycling company, for establishing a recycling plant in New York, US.
Pyrolyx AG (Germany) adopted strategies such as expansion and joint venture to increase its production capacity and geographic presence. Pyrolyx USA, a subsidiary of Pyrolyx, started construction of a plant at Terre Haute, Indiana, US in October 2018. It is expected to be built entirely by May 2019 and is likely to be operational in June 2019. This plant will have a processing capacity of 40,000 tons of end-life-tires, annually, and will produce about 13 kilotons of recovered carbon black. In December 2016, Pyrolyx International, a subsidiary of Pyrolyx and Reklaim (US), signed a joint venture agreement for the establishment of Pyrolyx USA in the US.

10 个月Dear Kamlesh, thank you for investigating and promoting the rCB industry! There is a big interest globally for recovered carbon black, in the western world for ecologic reasons and in the eastern world for economic reasons. We just had over 350 participants in the rCB23 Conference in Barcelona and next year we will branch out a new rCB conference in Asia. Please review your company list, because many of them do not produce rCB at all or are now closed / inactive. Even my industry reference report for recovered carbon black, "Prospects for recovered Carbon Black 2023", which was only published in June 2023 is already outdated so that I now added a free 1h Q&A call to it to explain current industry changes to my customers. Greets from Berlin / Germany! #recovered?#carbonblack
