Pyrum Secures Unlimited Delivery Approval from Continental
Pyrum Innovations has secured unlimited delivery approval from Continental for its ThermoTireBlack recovered carbon black — an important commercial milestone for supplying recovered material into tire manufacturing applications.
The approval builds on a ten-year framework agreement signed in 2024 covering recovered carbon black from at least two Pyrum plants, and signals that tire-grade recovered carbon black has moved well beyond trials into long-term sourcing arrangements.
For the wider market, it is further evidence that recovered carbon black is meeting the specification and consistency standards demanded by premium tire makers — and that circular carbon material is becoming a genuine commercial substitute for part of the virgin carbon black used in tires.
