Korea's LD Carbon Ramps Recovered Carbon Black at Dangjin
LD Carbon's Dangjin facility in South Korea stands as the country's largest end-of-life tyre pyrolysis plant, designed to process around 50,000 tonnes of tyres annually and produce recovered carbon black alongside pyrolysis oil and recovered steel.
The company partners with Michelin and Bridgestone on recovered carbon black development and application, holds EU REACH registration, and markets grades engineered to replace conventional N660, N550 and N774 across tire, mechanical rubber goods, ink, paint and battery applications.
Asia-Pacific's recovered carbon black capacity is scaling fastest, and producers like LD Carbon are proving that regionally anchored, specification-driven rCB is commercially viable.
