Tokai Carbon CB Louisiana plant certified for sustainable carbon black production
In the UK, Tire Technology International reported that a Tokai Carbon CB plant in Addis, Louisiana, has been certified to the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus standard, enabling the site to supply sustainable carbon black. The new certification enables Tokai Carbon CB to provide sustainable carbon black from two of its plants using a mass balance process. The ISCC Plus standard “uses a mass balance approach to enable users of circular and bio-based feedstocks to certify their products corresponding to the amount of these feedstocks consumed”, the company said. “Tokai Carbon CB is committed to being a world leader in sustainability by developing practical solutions for our customers to achieve their sustainability goals,” said Mark Leigh, president of Tokai Carbon CB. “Sustainable carbon black certified to ISCC Plus provides customers a simple solution and supports the development of tire recycling through tire pyrolysis.”
