Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) aims to begin marketing sustainable carbon black made from end-of-life tires (ELTs) by March 2026. The company has launched studies to perform chemical recycling of ELTs by utilizing the coke ovens at its Kagawa Plant (Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture).

 

There is a growing need to use recycled carbon black, one of the main raw materials and a rubber reinforcing agent used in tires. By leveraging MCG's supply chain, it is able to feed crushed ELTs as raw material into its coke ovens and produce carbon black again from the tar.

According to the MCG’s research, this is the first attempt in the world to produce sustainable carbon black from ELTs using coke ovens. The sustainable carbon black produced has the same performance as conventional carbon black and can be used again in new tires.

Crushed ELTs.


In preparation for commercialization, MCG started demonstration experiments where ELTs are fed into coke ovens in July 2024. The aim is to sell sustainable carbon black at an annual rate of several thousand tons in FY2025, and at an annual rate of tens of thousands of tons in FY2030.
