Michelin Runs Recovered Carbon Black in Racing
Michelin has used recovered carbon black from Scandinavian Enviro Systems in specialist racing tire applications, including Le Mans and MotoE — a demanding proving ground that underscores how far recovered material has come.
Racing tires are subject to the highest performance and consistency requirements, so their acceptance of recovered carbon black is a strong technical endorsement of the material, not simply a sustainability gesture. It reinforces Michelin's broader recycled-and-sustainable-content target for 2030.
Performance applications are leading the adoption curve — and pulling specification-grade recovered carbon black into the mainstream.
