A closed-loop ecosystem that turns hazardous waste into a premium-grade product with a minimal environmental footprint.
The global carbon black market is 14–17 million tons per year ($25.95B, Mordor Intelligence 2026), growing 4–5% annually. Over 65–70% of this volume goes into automotive tires, another 15–20% into industrial rubber (seals, conveyor belts, drive belts), with the remainder in plastics, coatings, paints, and inks. About half of global production is concentrated in a single country — China — which makes supply diversification a strategic issue for the entire industry.
Within this market, a narrow but far more dynamic segment is growing separately — recovered carbon black (rCB), today under 2% of total volume but growing 20%+ per year. Two factors are driving this growth: environmental commitments from major tire brands requiring recycled feedstock in their products, and rising demand from EV and battery manufacturing, which needs high-purity, electrically conductive carbon black grades.
A single ECO OASIS complex with a capacity of over 117,000 tons of 99.6%-purity carbon black per year — from recycled end-of-life tires — is a volume comparable to a third of the entire projected global recovered carbon black market in 2031. The technology developed by the ECO OASIS scientific team pushes product purity far beyond the market's standard range (85–97% among existing recyclers), opening access to applications unavailable to most players — from premium tires to high-tech rubber and battery manufacturing.

ECO OASIS technology lays the foundation to become one of the world's largest producers of recycled-feedstock carbon black — by capacity, product purity, economic efficiency, and minimal CO₂ emissions.
End-of-life tires are shredded into rubber crumb of a strictly defined fraction. Feedstock is fed via a top-mounted screw system with a several-day buffer, eliminating production downtime even during supply disruptions.
Rubber crumb undergoes thermal decomposition in an oxygen-free environment at precisely controlled temperature. The process is fully automated. The result: crude carbon black, pyrolysis oil, pyrolysis gas, and several additional valuable fractions.
Pyrolysis oil and gas undergo plasma reforming, developed by the project's international scientific team. This stage produces, among other things, hydrogen and generates a significant volume of thermal energy, converted into electricity via turbines. Part is used for the complex's own needs, with the surplus becoming an additional revenue stream.
Carbon black undergoes purification via the proprietary "Method," reaching 99.6% purity, a result repeatedly confirmed by independent laboratory testing. This places the product in an ultra-premium class unavailable to most tire recyclers worldwide.
Material balance at full design capacity: 185,000 tons of end-of-life tires → 150,000 tons of rubber crumb → 117,000 tons of 99.6%-purity carbon black per year.
The economics shown are calculated at full capacity. The ECO OASIS model is designed from the outset to be scalable: the complex can launch at a substantially smaller initial capacity and scale up in stages — specific parameters for a smaller scale are discussed individually.
The financial model has been tested with a Monte Carlo simulation (10,000 iterations), confirming a high probability of the base-case scenario. Even under pessimistic assumptions (lower rCB prices, higher operating costs, delayed ramp-up to full capacity) the project retains positive economics — a detailed sensitivity analysis is disclosed in the full materials package after signing an NDA.
The project economics are protected not only at the financial-model level, but also at the level of the implementation structure — more in the “Investor Role and Team Role” section.

Even in the most conservative scenario, the investor is never left with an unfinished asset. The tire-shredding and standard-pyrolysis line is a self-contained, reproducible industrial technology. The investor ends up with a working business producing pyrolysis oil, steel cord, standard-grade carbon black, and other processed products.
Before building the full complex, ECO OASIS builds two demonstration units — plasma reforming and purification via the proprietary “Method,” both developed by the project’s international scientific team. This is not a demonstration gesture but a necessary stage: these units are where process parameters are worked out — particle behavior across varying feedstock composition, result stability, and the parameters required for scaling.
The investor gets full access to the process: the right to audit and personally visit both laboratories at any point during the pilot. This is not a paper presentation — it is a chance to see the result firsthand.
The pilot runs for 2 years. As early as 6 months after it starts — independent of the data-gathering process on the units themselves — construction of the full complex can begin in parallel. During this period, the ECO OASIS team helps the investor go through the preparatory cycle: selecting a general contractor, basic design and cost documentation, and site preparation. This shortens the overall path to launch and removes the investor’s risk of waiting.
At the full-complex stage, these same units become the “heart” of the laboratory — a calibration center that fine-tunes the process for feedstock with variable composition.
Manages capital fully and independently: land, permits, financing, selecting and hiring the general contractor — the entire construction process is exclusively their decision.
The ECO OASIS team does not touch the finances at any stage of the process.
Technical management and oversight of compliance with the technical specification at every stage of construction.
Drafting the technical specification · on-site visits to the contractor · quality and schedule control · help selecting the operating team.
The ECO OASIS team is stationed alongside the investor's team. After a few months of working together, the two teams function as a single working group — this is not remote consulting but a continuous on-site presence.
This separation protects both sides: the investor retains full control over the capital, while the ECO OASIS team retains documented, verified compliance with the technical specification at every stage, regardless of the investor's subsequent decisions.
ECO OASIS operates as an international consortium of engineering and scientific partners united by a single technology and a single project management structure. The project's legal structure is finalized after signing the initial agreements: a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), and a cooperation agreement.
Project management follows a cascading principle: the client in the country hosting the complex works with a general contractor, who coordinates the project's specialized engineering and scientific partners. This separates financial responsibility from technical expertise while keeping unified control over quality and schedules.
The technology is protected by controlled physical access: compartmentalized knowledge within the scientific team and proprietary additives that resist reverse engineering.
The ECO OASIS scientific team consists of specialists with institutional research backgrounds, behind the project's key discoveries: plasma reforming and the proprietary “Method” for carbon black purification.
The engineering side of the team has hands-on experience building greenfield industrial complexes, including completed chemical production projects. This experience is applied directly to overseeing the construction of the ECO OASIS complex.
The ECO OASIS team is not the developer of a single installation, but a holder of the full competency cycle: from fundamental science to industrial engineering, capable not just of building one complex, but of replicating it and training others to do the same.
Demonstration units (2026–2028), construction and launch of the first full complex (2026–2030).
Replicating the technology to new sites via licensing and direct-build models.
A worldwide network of complexes, shaping industry standards for tire recycling.
99.6%-purity carbon black is something you can see and measure today. But ECO OASIS's most significant asset is not measured in tons and does not appear as a single line in the financial model — it is the R&D center being built alongside the complex.
After ten years of the center's operation, the host country gains its own world-class group of scientists across several fields at once — from plasma chemistry to industrial catalysis. This builds a national scientific school for decades to come.
This is why it is more accurate to view this investment not as capital put into carbon black production, but as participation in creating a new scientific and industrial center of competence — an asset whose value keeps growing after the complex itself has paid for itself.
This ties directly into ESG sustainability goals and the technological-sovereignty strategies most countries are pursuing today — from economic diversification to building their own scientific base.
The R&D center is the one element of the project that only becomes more valuable over time, and does not depreciate.
