According to the latest report from Tyre & Rubber Recycling, Orion Engineered Carbons is actively expanding its oil tank facilities at its carbon black plant in Jaslo, Poland, adding multiple new tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) storage tanks. This move is a crucial step in the company's implementation of its sustainable development strategy, aiming to enhance the production capacity of circular carbon black (cCB).
In a statement released on June 11, Orion Engineered Carbons indicated that the newly added oil tanks will play a vital role in receiving and storing TPO delivered to the plant. These oils will be directly pumped into the furnace carbon black reactors through a piping system, where they will be converted into high-quality cCB products, including rubber-grade carbon black and other key raw materials.
Notably, Orion Engineered Carbons is hailed as the "only producer" in the industry that relies entirely on 100% TPO to manufacture carbon black. The company has successfully produced a series of cCB products in multiple factories worldwide, including the Ecorax Nature 200 carbon black produced at the Jaslo plant, which has obtained ISCC+ certification, demonstrating its outstanding strength in environmental protection and sustainability.
On the path to achieving sustainable development, Orion Engineered Carbons actively seeks close cooperation with industry partners. The company has established a profound partnership with TPO producers, jointly promoting environmental management and resource recycling.
"Our close cooperation with TPO producers demonstrates our shared pursuit of sustainable development and innovation," said Pedro Riveros, Senior Vice President of Global Rubber Carbon Black at Orion Engineered Carbons. "Through collaborative efforts, we are leading the entire industry value chain from tire waste management to resource recycling towards a more positive and green direction."
