Expanded Carbon Production
Cabot Corp. Has Established Production Capabilities in Asia
Colin Smith — February 25, 2026
Cabot Corporation has established production capabilities in the Asia Pacific region for its circular reinforcing carbons under the EVOLVE Sustainable Solutions platform, validating manufacturing at its Cilegon, Indonesia and Tianjin, China sites. The Asia Pacific validation enables the company to produce circular reinforcing carbons using tire pyrolysis oil within an ISCC PLUS mass balance framework, extending regional supply options for tire and rubber manufacturers.
The expansion gives Cabot production coverage across all major regions, supporting a make in region sell in region approach intended to reduce logistics emissions and improve supply resilience for circular carbon products. Company statements and industry reporting indicate the move is aimed at accelerating tire circularity by supplying recycled feedstocks at scale while focusing on product qualification, regulatory compliance, and integration with tire makers’ sustainability targets.
