This interactive workshop will run on the day before the rCB conference in Amsterdam. We usually have 70 attendees, which is a more cosy forum for interactivity and asking questions than the main conference which typically has 300 delegates.
The workshop will be held by Martin von Wolfersdorff (Co-founder of the Smithers rCB Conferences, Author of the industry report “Prospects for rCB”) and Frank Cremer (Head of Product Innovation and Director Sales, Pyrum Innovations AG).
This 3h workshop consists of 3 sessions:
(1) Introduction to rCB
This session will explain rCB in easy terms also to non-technical colleagues, investors and everyone attending rCB Europe for the first time.
Why does rCB unlock business viability of tyre pyrolysis technology? How does curating ELT feedstocks help rCB production? Is rCB a commodity yet? Can it be sold? What is the supply & demand and who are the customers? We will cover all these questions and of course any other questions you might have on the day.
(2) Industrialisation of rCB “From recovered material to a reliable industrial raw material”
2026 is the year of industrialisation. From 2025 - 2027 several industrial facilities for rCB & TPO production will be built. This changes the focus away from technology and funding to a focus on operation, process capabilities, quality control, product consistency and cash flow optimisation. Is product quality important or product consistency? How important is supply chain collaboration?
(3) Future of rCB & new applications for rCB
Some challenges with rCB remain unsolved. What are the key future topics with regards to rCB? We will touch on topics including ASTM classification and terminology, ash reduction, energy use, regulations & accreditations, corporate evolution and training. A big topic will also be new applications for rCB beyond tyres and rubber.
