Summary
Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is a carbon powder carbon material that is obtained through recycling of unused tire or End of Life Tire (ELT) by pyrolysis process. The material is derived through pyrolysis of scrap tires, which comprises of non-carbonaceous materials. The carbon black obtained through pyrolysis is processed through multiple stages to remove impurities including textile and textile along with milling to harmonize the size of carbon particles. Recovered carbon black reduces carbon emission in comparison to virgin carbon black, owing to which the product is anticipated to gain significant penetration in the coming years. Recovered carbon black is used for multiple application including tires, coatings, plastic, industrial rubber good, and ink & printing.
The global recovered carbon black market is projected to expand over USD 730 million by 2025. This is attributed to the budding automobile industry along with rising demand for industrial rubber goods. In addition, rising demand for plastics, ink and coatings product which utilizes recovered carbon black as reinforcing filler is stimulating the industry growth. Increased strength, reduced carbon emission, and reliability are some of the key factors anticipated to drive the product demand in the coming years.
The rising concern to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission along with rising government focus to achieve sustainable consumption is proliferating the industry size. The regulators inclining toward adoption of electric vehicle (EV) owing to capability to operate without emitting pollutant. For instance, in 2018, Government of India announced a target to achieve 30% electric vehicle on road by 2030. This is turn will augment the demand for tire, which will drive the recovered carbon black industry.
