ECOR Carbon Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of ECOR Greentech, utilizes advanced technologies to upcycle pyrolytic carbon blackchar (CBP) from end-of-life tires (ELTs) into high-value, near-virgin grade carbon black. By adopting near-green processes, ECOR Carbon minimizes waste, conserves natural resources, and delivers versatile material solutions for diversified industrial applications.
Upcycling
Pyrolytic carbon black (CBP) derived from tire pyrolysis is refined using an advanced closed-loop recycling method, upgrading it to match the quality of virgin-grade recovered carbon black (RCB). This pioneering approach boosts circularity by reclaiming valuable components such as carbon,silica, and zinc, thus minimizing dependence on new raw materials and substantially lowering carbon emissions.
CBPis transformed into high-performance, specialized materials like activated carbon, porous graphene, and pharmaceutical-grade carbon black. These materials cater specifically to industrial requirements, ranging from energy storage solutions and filtration technologies to advanced manufacturing processes.
Environmental Sustainability:
Reduces the need for new mining and conserves valuable materials.
Resource Efficiency:
Repurposing CBp minimizes the demand for virgin carbon black, reduces environmental degradation associated with extraction activities, and supports resource conservation.
Economic Development:
The availability of sustainable, upcycled products creates economic opportunities, reduces material costs, and encourages innovation across energy manufacturing, and environmental industries.
Employment Opportunities:
Establishing upcycling operations generates new jobs in facility management, research, product innovation and development, thus impacting local economies and promoting a robust green economy.
