Expansion of the Use of Pyrum rCB in the Schwalbe Tyre Product Range

Pyrum Innovations AG has announced a significant expansion in the use of its recovered carbon black (rCB) in the Schwalbe tyre product range. As of now, 70% of Schwalbe's tyres will be manufactured using Pyrum rCB.

One year after the introduction of the world's first circular tyre by Schwalbe, made using Pyrum's rCB, this material now replaces 100% of fossil carbon black in new bicycle tyres. This transition reduces CO₂ emissions by 80% without compromising product quality. The rCB will be used in high-end tyres, including those for road, gravel, mountain bikes, as well as in city and cargo bikes.

To date, 940,000 bicycle tyres have been recycled through Pyrum's thermolysis process and reintroduced into production. Schwalbe continues to explore the potential for using rCB across its entire product range.
