Technology for recovering carbon black from end-of-life tires through pyrolysis is rapidly shifting from a niche solution into a mainstream industrial materials segment, as major tire manufacturers increasingly integrate recycled materials into their product formulations under regulatory pressure and sustainability targets.SEE MORE
Throughout 2026, Josh Linville — Vice President of Fertilizer at StoneX, a commodities-focused financial services firm — has continuously tracked and commented on the impact of the Strait of Hormuz crisis on global fertilizer markets. His string of analyses, spanning from March through August 2026, traces a story unfolding in several distinct phases — from the initial shock and peak tension, to a period of "demand destruction," and a state of ambiguity that persists to this day.SEE MORE
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new computational approach to predict which materials hold the most promise as catalysts for electrochemical ammonia production — a pathway that could eventually replace part of the traditional Haber-Bosch process, which remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels.SEE MORE
A review study by Malathi Sampath and colleagues, published in RSC Sustainability, shows a range of promising material solutions helping the tyre industry reduce its dependence on petroleum-based inputs — from bio-based rubbers and fillers to recycling technologies for rubber, steel, and carbon black.SEE MORE
