  • What is “recovered carbon black (rCB)” ?
    Recovered carbon black is a sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black, produced by recycling end-of-life rubber products like tires.
  • How is rCB different from virgin carbon black ?
    rCB is made from recycled materials and has a lower carbon footprint, whereas virgin carbon black is derived from non-renewable fossil fuels.
  • What are the environmental benefits of using rCB ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB reduces landfill waste, lowers CO2 emissions, and conserves natural resources by repurposing waste materials.
  • Is rCB performance comparable to virgin carbon black ?
    Yes, GoGreen Eternal rCB can match the performance of virgin carbon black in most of the applications.
  • What industries can benefit from using rCB ?
    Industries like automotive, rubber manufacturing, rubber moulding, extrusion, construction, plastics, inks, and coatings etc can benefit from using GoGreen Eternal rCB.
  • Can rCB be used in all the same applications as virgin carbon black ?
    While GoGreen Eternal rCB is very versatile and can be used in many applications, some specific formulations may require managing proportions of virgin carbon black.
  • How does the cost of rCB compare to virgin carbon black ?
    rCB is more cost-effective compared to virgin carbon black.
  • Is there a difference in the quality of rCB compared to virgin carbon black ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB can offer similar quality and, in some cases, enhanced properties like better dispersion and lower impact on viscosity.
  • What are the sustainability advantages of rCB ?
    rCB supports circular economy principles, reduces environmental impact, and enhances corporate sustainability profiles.
  • How is rCB produced ?
    rCB is produced by pyrolysis of end-of-life tires or other rubber products, which breaks down the rubber into usable carbon black and other byproducts.
  • What certifications or standards does rCB meet ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB meets industry standards depending on the manufacturer and application. Though international standards like ASTM for rCB are currently in draft form.
  • How does rCB contribute to a company’s CSR goals ?
    By using rCB, companies can reduce their environmental impact, align with sustainability initiatives, and enhance their CSR reputation.
  • Are there any specific regulations encouraging the use of rCB ?
    Yes, many regions have regulations or incentives to promote recycling and reduce carbon footprints, which can encourage the use of rCB.
  • How does rCB impact the mechanical properties of products ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB can maintain or even improve mechanical properties like tensile strength, elasticity, and durability in products.
  • What is the availability of rCB compared to virgin carbon black ?
    rCB is increasingly available as recycling technologies advances, but consistency and quality may vary depending on the region and supplier.
  • How can rCB affect the overall cost structure of manufacturing ?
    Using GoGreen Eternal rCB lowers buyers’raw material costs and potentially decreases overall production costs.
  • What are the typical particle sizes of rCB ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB particle sizes can vary depending on the end applications.
  • Can rCB be blended with virgin carbon black ?
    Yes, GoGreen Eternal rCB can be blended with virgin carbon black to achieve desired performance characteristics in various formulations.
  • How does rCB influence the colour properties of end products ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB can provide a deep black colour like virgin carbon black.
  • Is there any difference in the processing of rCB compared to virgin carbon black ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB can be processed using the same equipment and methods as virgin carbon black, with minimal adjustments needed.
  • What is the shelf life of rCB ?
    GoGreen Eternal rCB typically has a similar shelf life to virgin carbon black, but it should be stored in a dry, cool environment to maintain quality.
  • How does the use of rCB affect product recycling at the end of its life cycle ?
    Products made with GoGreen Eternal rCB are equally recyclable, supporting the overall goal of a circular economy.
  • Are there any limitations to using rCB ?
    While rCB is versatile, it requires some sort of permutations and combinations in the existing recipes to achieve highly specialized applications that require specific properties.
  • What are the logistical considerations for sourcing rCB ?
    Logistics depends on the buyer’s location, but GoGreen Eternal rCB is available in bulk quantities and can be shipped globally.
  • How can I ensure consistent quality when purchasing rCB ?
    Reputable suppliers like GoGreen Eternal provide quality assurances, regular testing, and compliance with industry standards to ensure consistent product quality.
