Recovering carbon black from end-of-life tyres

Black Bear Carbon recovers carbon black from end-of-life tyres (ELTs). ELTs are often stored in large dumps that are major breeding grounds for diseases-carrying mosquitos. Moreover, if these heaps catch fire, they produce enormous of amounts of soot. Black Bear Carbon saves approx.10 tonnes of CO2 per ton of recovered carbon black. Carbon black is ysed in the manufacture of tyres, plastics, paints and many other products. The traditional production process is energy and CO2 intensive (new carbon black being made from heavy petroleum products).

Black Bear Carbon reduces the need for the use of heavy petroleum products, thereby saving resources and energy.
