Problem
The accumulation of rubber waste, particularly end-of-life tires, poses a significant environmental challenge due to its volume and the difficulty in traditional disposal methods like landfilling or incineration. Current recycling methods often result in contaminated byproducts and fail to fully recover valuable materials, leading to resource depletion and environmental pollution.
Solution
Syntoil provides a technology for recycling rubber waste through continuous pyrolysis, transforming contaminated soot into customized recovered carbon black (rCB). Their process recovers valuable resources from end-of-life tires and other rubber waste, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. The continuous pyrolysis method ensures a controlled process with significantly lower emissions of harmful dust, addressing the environmental concerns associated with traditional batch pyrolysis. The resulting rCB can be tailored to specific industrial applications, promoting a circular economy and reducing the need for virgin carbon black derived from fossil fuels.
Target Audience
Syntoil targets companies in the rubber, plastics, and manufacturing industries seeking sustainable alternatives to virgin carbon black and environmentally responsible waste management solutions.
