Pyrolyx AG announced that it is commencing as planned the construction of its recovered carbon black (rCB) plant in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA. Following its completion, the plant in Terre Haute will be the most advanced of its kind and will produce about 12,900 tons of rCB every year as well as pyrolysis oil and steel. The international Zeppelin Group has planned and will construct the plant and perform overall project management. The site in Indiana was chosen because of favorable logistics as well as the support of the City of Terre Haute. Once fully operational, the facility will employ fifty-five full time staff. Every year, approximately 4 million used tires will be recycled and the factory will save more than 30,000 tons of CO2 compared to traditional carbon black manufacturing.
