OCI Carbon Black Eco-Friendly International Certification..."Use of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Oil"
OCI announced on the 5th that the carbon black produced at its Gwangyang plant in Jeonnam has obtained the international eco-friendly product certification ‘ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) Plus.’
ISCC Plus is an international certification system for sustainable and low-carbon products that comply with the European Union (EU)’s Renewable Energy Directives (RED). Certification is granted only when the entire process from product manufacturing to distribution is proven to be eco-friendly.
As the top carbon black manufacturer in Korea, OCI met the sustainability and eco-friendly material usage standards required by ISCC by producing products using recycled oil derived from pyrolyzing waste plastics at high temperatures as raw materials.
Carbon black is mainly used as a reinforcing agent and pigment to enhance the elasticity of rubber, such as in tires. It is typically made from heavy oil and creosote. The carbon black produced by OCI is also made by recycling coal tar, a byproduct generated during the steel manufacturing process, as creosote.
