Recovered Carbon black as a more sustainable feedstock
Recovered Carbon Black utilised end-of-life tyres to replace the need for virgin carbon black.
Thermosets are a sub group of polymers that change irreversibly after being subjected to heat or radiation due to a curing process where chemical bonds are formed. They vary from soft polyurethane foams to very hard and tough phenolic resins. Curing polyurethanes sometimes requires a catalyst and for the majority of melamine resins and phenol formaldehyde resins.

Thermoplastics are fantastic engineering materials. They are low cost, lightweight, easy to process and provide excellent durability. It’s no surprise therefore that thermoplastics are omnipresent in our lives, with the average European citizen consuming on average 50 kg per year. High time then to scrutinise thermoplastics from a sustainability standpoint.
