Specialty chemicals provider Orion S.A. plans to discontinue production at three to five of its carbon black lines at multiple facilities in the Americas and EMEA.
Orion S.A. has signed a long-term supply agreement with Contec S.A., which will provide Orion tire pyrolysis oil to produce circular carbon black for tire and rubber goods customers.
Specialty chemicals provider Orion S.A. has appointed a new chief technology officer to succeed David Deters, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
The technology is designed to improve Orion’s yield in the production of carbon black using circular feedstocks and potentially reducing the carbon footprint of the process.
The report highlights progress the company is making in implementing its sustainability strategy, with initiatives focused on advancing the circular economy, renewable feedstocks, and electrification.
