Smithers’ Recovered Carbon Black Asia 2026 will take place on September 3–4, 2026, in Bangkok, Thailand. The hybrid event will bring together industry leaders, technical experts and decision-makers from across the recovered carbon black, tire pyrolysis and circular materials value chains.

Franklin Raj, consultant at Robert Weibold GmbH, will represent Weibold at the conference and deliver a presentation focused on increasing the commercial value of tire pyrolysis oil.

Franklin specializes in tire pyrolysis and supports stakeholders across the APAC and European markets with technology selection, business strategy, and market-entry decisions within the tire recycling and pyrolysis sector.

This Weibold presentation will examine how tire pyrolysis oil, commonly referred to as TPO, can be positioned beyond conventional fuel applications and developed as a higher-value circular hydrocarbon feedstock for refining and petrochemical use.

Key topics will include the differences between fuel-grade TPO and refinery-acceptable circular feedstocks, the role of certification and regulatory alignment, and the influence of refinery decarbonization targets on future market demand.

The presentation will also consider technical barriers to wider adoption, the potential value of distillation and further refining, and the production scale at which TPO upgrading may become commercially viable. Emerging pricing approaches and the potential development of premium TPO markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe will also be discussed.

Recovered Carbon Black Asia 2026 will feature representatives from the recovered carbon black, tire manufacturing, carbon black, pyrolysis, refining, and recycling industries. The event will open with a joint session alongside Sustainability in Tires 2026, while registered participants will have access to both conference programs and a shared networking area throughout the two-day event.
