Chennai based Rathi Group’s is set to boost its Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) production capacity to 20,000 MT annually by December 2024 with a new Green Field expansion of 15,000 MT/Annum
The expansion is undergoing at group entity Rathi Green Energy Private Limited, building on five years of experience, incorporating insights gained from its existing 5,000 MT/Annum plant to meet customer demand for high-quality rCB at scale.
This expansion positions the company as a key player in the sustainable materials market, catering to volume buyers like tyre manufacturers who are seeking dependable, eco-friendly alternatives to virgin carbon black. The rCB is being marketed under the brand name ‘Capital Carbon.’
Addressing the Demand for Consistency and Volume
With rCB still in the approval stage for many industries, securing consistent, high-volume supply remains a challenge. “After customer approvals, the next big concern is availability of material in volumes,” said Ravi Rathi, Director, Rathi Group. “This expansion is designed to meet that demand by ensuring a steady supply of high-quality rCB for large-volume users like tyre manufacturers.”
With its expanded capacity, Rathi Group is poised to deliver large volumes of high-quality rCB, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and circularity. This move solidifies the company’s leadership in the global rCB market and supports industries in meeting their sustainability goals.
“By making rCB available for re-use in tyres and other products, we’re helping our customers meet their sustainability targets,” added Ambesh Rathi, Director, Rathi Green Energy Private Limited.
