Carbon black is a dominant filler used in industrial rubber products, vehicle tires and many plastic parts. Sustainability issues and the desire to produce energy efficient products are increasingly driving OEMs and other carbon black users to find alternatives and develop more environmentally friendly material options. Growing awareness of environmental issues, particularly related to vehicles

Carbon black is a material consisting mainly of carbon, obtained from the partial combustion or thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons, consisting of spherical primary particles, uniformity of primary particle sizes within a given cluster and turbostratic* layers. Carbon black is used in large quantities in the production of tires, plastics, various rubber products, paints and toner.

The first efforts to recycle vulcanized rubber wastes originated with an ordinary grinding method carried out by Charles Goodyear, the inventor of vulcanization, more than 150 years ago. The table below gives an overview of the work done on rubber recycling, particularly in the last two decades. When we search Scopus again with the keyword

Granulated rubber infill materials used in synthetic sports surfaces, recognized as the largest source of intentionally released microplastics, have been banned by the EU Commission. According to data from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), rubber granules used in sports fields contribute up to 16,000 tons of microplastic pollution annually, making them the primary source of

Efforts to tackle the challenges posed by waste tires and rubber have been ongoing for years. However, with the increasing awareness of sustainability, these initiatives are accelerating, and scientifically based outcomes are becoming more prominent. Over the past few months, we have begun to see tangible results of these efforts. The latest press releases from
