Case studies
How manufacturers bring recovered materials into their products through structured trials and close collaboration.
Real-world use of recovered materials
Each case follows the same path: understand the compound, agree criteria, trial, then approve.
FootwearRecovered carbon black in footwear sole compounds
A sole manufacturer trialled recovered carbon black to add recycled content without changing its moulding process.
Conveyor
BeltsRecycled filler for conveyor belt cover compounds
A belt maker evaluated recovered carbon black in cover compounds where abrasion and tear resistance are critical.
Automotive
ComponentsRecovered carbon black in moulded automotive rubber parts
A component supplier qualified recovered carbon black for non-critical moulded parts to support its OEM's sustainability targets.
Paints &
CoatingsPigment-grade recovered carbon black for industrial coatings
A coatings maker tested recovered carbon black as a black pigment in primer and industrial coating formulations.
TyresCircular content in tyre and retreading compounds
A retreader evaluated recovered carbon black in non-tread compounds to bring circular material back into tyres.
