Klean Industries CEO Joins Panel Discussion at the European Carbon Black Summit 2025
European Carbon Black Summit to discuss innovations in recovered carbon black, tire pyrolysis, & circular economy strategies driving industrial decarbonization.
Following the strong momentum of our previous editions, ACI is proud to announce that the 5th European Carbon Black Summit will return on December 3rd and 4th, 2025, in the historic city of Prague, Czechia.
As the carbon black industry navigates a period of profound change, challenges continue to mount, including ongoing supply and demand imbalances, regulatory pressure, and shifting downstream needs. The automotive sector’s contraction, feedstock volatility, and tightening environmental policies are reshaping the global market, while European producers and buyers alike contend with uncertainty and transition.
This year’s summit will delve into the industry’s most pressing topics:
*** Strategies to strengthen supply chain resilience and feedstock security
*** Evolving policy frameworks and the regulatory outlook across Europe
*** Advances in pyrolysis and the scaling of recovered carbon black (rCB)
*** Shifting market demands from tire, rubber, plastics, and specialty applications
*** Quality, consistency, and performance challenges for both virgin and recovered carbon black
*** The summit aims to foster a solution-driven dialogue, highlighting not only the risks and disruptions but also the innovations, partnerships, and strategic pivots that drive future competitiveness.
Over two days, the event will unite senior executives and experts from across the value chain, including carbon black producers, downstream users, pyrolysis specialists, feedstock suppliers, regulatory bodies, packaging innovators, and technology providers.
The Panel will feature Insights from:
*** Richard Chiari, Lead Buyer Carbon Black & Coordinator Procurement Teams Asia, SEMPERIT AG
*** Utkarsh Pahwa, Managing Director, Shine Carbon and Chemicals
*** Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO, Klean Industries
Europe’s Carbon Black Market is at a Crossroads:
With rising pressure from sustainability regulations, volatile feedstock prices, and the urgent need for circularity, manufacturers and downstream users alike are being compelled to reassess their entire approach, from procurement to process.
But is recovered carbon black (rCB) truly ready to replace its virgin counterpart? And if so, how can you adapt without sacrificing quality, performance, or profitability?
Join us at the 5th European Carbon Black Summit, taking place on December 3rd and 4th, 2025, in Prague, Czechia. We’re bringing together top decision-makers and innovators to answer exactly that.

"As regulatory pressure intensifies and the call for circularity grows louder, it's clear that recovered carbon black is no longer a future concept; it's a present-day imperative. At Klean Industries, we've spent the past two decades developing technologies that enable this transition at scale. I'm honored to join this panel to discuss how we can bridge the gap between virgin and recovered carbon black, not just with innovation, but through global collaboration, investment, and shared accountability across the value chain.", commented Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO, Klean Industries Inc.
