Overview

RCB Nanotechnologies GmbH, Munich (Germany) was founded to commercialise and industrialise a novel technology invented by Fraunhofer IBP (patent filed). This technology has been developed for the elimination of the ash content of raw recovered Carbon Black from end-of-life tires Pyrolysis operations. As this novel “clean rCB” has a purity of 96-99% Carbon content, it can be used as a sustainable 1:1-replacement of certain virgin Carbon Blacks. In the same process, novel Silica- and Zinc-products can be extracted from the removed ash fraction. RCB Nanotechnologies holds the exclusive Global license of this disruptive technology and is in the process of setting up the first commercial plant which will be located in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the coming years the company intends to set up multiple plants worldwide.
