The German market for Recovered Carbon Black (Unpurified) experienced gradual upward momentum throughout most of the year. The prices were about 750 USD/MT (CIF) in January and around 895 USD/MT in November. The opening period witnessed steady price increases as demand from tire manufacturing and rubber compounding sectors intensified, driven by growing sustainability mandates and corporate commitments to incorporate recycled materials. Supply availability remained constrained as tire pyrolysis facilities operated at moderate capacities, balancing feedstock procurement challenges with technical processing requirements.
As the year progressed, the market maintained its ascending trajectory, supported by consistent offtake from downstream applications including plastics, coatings, and industrial rubber products. European manufacturers increasingly prioritized recycled carbon black as a partial substitute for virgin material, creating sustained demand pressure. Trade activity remained active, with buyers securing supply amid concerns about availability and regulatory developments favouring circular materials.
The latter portion of the year brought stabilization as supply-demand dynamics reached equilibrium. Pyrolysis operators expanded output capacity while downstream consumption patterns moderated following earlier procurement cycles. Market participants adjusted inventory strategies, leading to price consolidation after the extended period of appreciation. Overall market sentiment remained balanced as buyers and sellers navigated evolving sustainability requirements and economic considerations.

Recovered Carbon Black (unpurified) is a material obtained from the thermal decomposition of end-of-life tires and other rubber products. It appears as a fine, black powder with a high surface area. Unlike purified grades, unpurified recovered carbon black retains ash, metals, and other residues from the feedstock, which influence its composition and performance. It is valued for its basic reinforcing properties, pigment characteristics, and potential sustainability benefits, as it contributes to waste reduction and resource recovery in circular processes.

Recovered Carbon Black (unpurified) was applied in several industrial sectors where moderate performance requirements were acceptable. It was used in rubber products such as mats, hoses, and moulded goods, providing cost-effective reinforcement. In plastics, it functioned as a filler and colouring agent. It also served in inks, coatings, and paints where high purity was not critical. Additionally, it found application in construction materials like asphalt and concrete blends, helping improve durability while offering a sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black.
