Recovered carbon black (rCB) has moved beyond proof-of-concept to become a strategic material for advancing circularity in the tire and rubber industries. This symposium brings together technology developers, tire manufacturers, equipment suppliers, researchers, and market experts to explore the technical, commercial, and regulatory developments accelerating rCB adoption. Presentations span the entire value chain from pyrolysis and material engineering to application validation, processing, standards, and market outlook highlighting both the challenges and the significant progress toward scalable, high-performance circular carbon materials. Together, this two-day symposium will provide attendees with a comprehensive view of where the industry stands today and the innovations that will shape its future.
