Carbon Green Announces Canada as the Location for Its First Large Scale Plant

Carbon Green, a tire recycling company, has identified Southern Ontario, Canada as the focus for phase one of the North American rollout of its full-scale tire recycling plants, the company announced in a press release.

 
The company has devised a cost-effectively, environmentally friendly process for transforming billions of discarded tires around the world into commercial-grade steel, oil, green energy and Carbon Green. The Company's Carbon Green technology is the only one that meets the European Union's stringent recycling criteria.
 
Carbon Green Inc.'s proprietary technology produces a Carbon Green that is an equivalent of N660 carbon black or better. It can be produced significantly below the cost of carbon black, allowing the company to compete very effectively with carbon black while retaining a very generous margin. The process utilizes the company's patent pending process for upgrading the oils char into Carbon Green.
 
John Novak, president and CEO of Carbon Green Inc. states, 'We are thrilled to be in Montreal with our partner Virgin Racing, to witness the return of Formula 1 to Canada and Virgin's inaugural race on Canadian soil. We have identified Canada as a world leader with very high standards of environmental practices which fits with our expansion plans for our unique proprietary technology."
 
The technology used by Carbon Green 100 percent recycles used tires into high grade commodities including Carbon Green (a virgin carbon black substitute) which is the key component required for new tire manufacturing with zero waste and zero emissions. The company has chosen the southern Ontario region as the first location to launch their standardized plant roll-out in North America.
 
Recently, the company announced that it has signed an agreement to partner with Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Racing Formula 1 Race Team, making it the first green technology partner sponsor to be involved in Formula 1. Virgin's two state-of-the-art cars have been designed by celebrated car designer Nick Wirth utilizing the Computational Fluid Dynamics (DFD) concept; a wholly digital approach to development, designing, building and testing cars in computer simulation.
