Insights
Cabot expanded North American production of circular reinforcing carbons and increased ISCC PLUS certified sites.
Cabot scaled manufacturing for circular reinforcing carbons at its Ville Platte, Louisiana site, adding to existing capabilities in Mauá, Brazil and Valmez, Czech Republic. The material uses tire pyrolysis oil and an ISCC PLUS mass balance chain of custody, enabling a drop-in replacement for traditional carbon black while preserving product performance.
Key dependencies include sustained access to tire pyrolysis oil feedstock, customer adoption of mass balance‑certified inputs, and maintaining ISCC PLUS compliance across the network. The announcement explicitly cites industry targets of
Watch certified production ramp rates, announced supply contracts, and additional site certifications over the next 12–24 months to gauge revenue and volume impact. The expansion reduces transport-related emissions via a "make-in-region, sell-in-region" approach and strengthens traceable supply for customers seeking certified recycled content.
