Workshop - An Introduction to rCB and its industrialisation

Tuesday 3 November 2026 | 13:30 - 17:00 CET | Amsterdam

Led by Martin von Wolfersdorff, Principal Advisor of Wolfersdorff Consulting and Frank Cremer, Head of Product Innovation and Director Sales of Pyrum Innovations AG.

This interactive workshop will run the day before the Recovered Carbon Black Europe 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.
