  Market Overview: Recovered carbon black (rCB) is a form of recycled carbon black produced from waste tyres and other rubber products. It is used in the production of various rubber goods and applications such as tires, mechanical rubber goods, and others. Market Dynamics: Two major drivers aiding the growth of  recovered carbon black market  are rising concerns over environmental pollution and stringent regulations regarding carbon emissions. Growing automotive industry worldwide has substantially increased the volume of discarded tires, which serves as a key source for recovered carbon black production. Various countries have implemented regulations banning the use of certain types of carbon black and enforcing the use of recovered carbon black to reduce carbon footprint. Also, recovered carbon black offers comparable quality and performance to that of virgin carbon black at a lower cost. This is encouraging manufacturers to increase reliance on rCB over conventional c...

  Recovered carbon black (rCB) refers to a type of carbon black that is obtained through a process known as pyrolysis. Pyrolysis involves the thermal decomposition of organic materials in the absence of oxygen, leading to the formation of various byproducts, including carbon black. Carbon black is a fine black powder composed primarily of elemental carbon. It is widely used as a reinforcing filler in rubber and plastic products due to its excellent properties such as high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and conductivity. Traditional carbon black is typically produced by burning petroleum-based products in large industrial furnaces, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and contributes to environmental pollution. In contrast, recovered carbon black offers a more sustainable alternative. It is produced by pyrolyzing end-of-life rubber products, such as tires or other rubber goods, in a controlled environment. The pyrolysis process breaks down the rubber into...
