VANCOUVER — Klean Industries Inc., tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer that designs and builds pyrolysis projects for processing hydrocarbon-based waste such as scrap tires and converts them into recovered carbon black, announced that its CEO, Jesse Klinkhamer, will be a speaker at the European Carbon Black Summit for the second time on June 14 and 15, 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany.

The European Carbon Black Summit will bring together industry stakeholders to discuss current challenges and future opportunities within the carbon black industry.

European Carbon Black Summit will provide forum for chemical companies, carbon black manufacturers, carbon black users, plastic and rubber manufacturers, masterbatch processors, and tire manufacturers to hear from the pyrolysis industry veterans, experts, and innovators who will share their perspectives of the rapidly growing Recovered Carbon Black market. Several industry leaders from around the world will share their expertise, case studies, projects, and the latest developments.

Virgin Carbon Black (vCB) demand is forecasted to increase and addressing this increase will be challenging as the war in Ukraine has already caused a big gap in the supply of virgin carbon black. Some of the experts from this field say that shortage of supply of CB goes up to 40 per cent compared to the years before the war. The focus of this summit will be to address these issues. The focus will be also on improving standardization in recovered carbon black (rCB) as well as problems with calculating the life cycle of tires.
