AnVa Polytech recently announced that the company has reduced its emissions by over 1,000,000 kg carbon dioxide equivalents with the use of Enviro’s recovered carbon black (rCB) in its product offerings.

The company statement reads: “By incorporating this eco-friendly rCB in our Climarub material, we have significantly reduced our, and our customers’, carbon footprint. Each kilogramme of Enviro’s rCB has a drastically lower footprint than virgin carbon black. This is a major step forward in our commitment to producing sustainable rubber compounds and products.”

AnVa and Enviro have been in a long-term collaboration and over 175 million chassis plugs and body plugs made of environmentally adapted rubber have been delivered to Volvo Car Corporation and The Volvo Group till date. Additionally, AnVa also supplies components such as seals and gaskets made from environmentally enhanced rubber with Enviro’s rCB to other industries, including the international pipe manufacturer Alvenius.

Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB publ has signed a letter of intent with an undisclosed partner to explore the possibility of licensing its advanced tyre pyrolysis technology for deployment in North America.

The collaboration will focus on conducting a comprehensive feasibility study to evaluate the technical and commercial viability of establishing one or multiple facilities dedicated to processing end-of-life tyres using Enviro’s proprietary method. This study is designed to provide the potential licensee with the necessary insights to assess the prospects of entering into a long-term commercial arrangement and formal technology licensing agreement.

It is important to note that any definitive agreements will depend entirely on the study's outcomes and subsequent negotiations. At this stage, there is no guarantee that the evaluation will lead to binding commitments or that the proposed transaction will ultimately materialise.

Fredrik Aaben, CEO, Scandinavian Enviro Systems, said, “We continue to see strong international interest in Enviro’s technology, and this letter of intent is yet another proof of this.”
