ACE Laboratories and Abdallah Consulting have announced the launch of VericarbSM, an independent certification program designed to verify that materials produced and marketed as recovered carbon black (rCB) meet the program’s defined criteria for rCB.
Recovered carbon black – produced from end-of-life tires through pyrolysis – has emerged as a key sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black in rubber and polymer applications. But as a newer market, it has lacked the standardization and independent verification that consumers, compounders and investors rely on in established material supply chains. VericarbSM was created to close that gap.
Certification under the VericarbSM program includes independent material characterization and rubber performance data, giving all stakeholders a consistent, credible basis for evaluating rCB products.
