The first and only tyre with recovered black carbon from recycled bicycle tyres (RCB)
This is Schwalbe's first fully recyclable tyre
What is RCB?
The abbreviation RCB stands for recovered carbon black. It is obtained from used tyres. In the recycling process at Schwalbe's partner Pyrum Innovations, the tyres are mechanically processed (shredded) and then recycled in a thermochemical process known as pyrolysis. The carbon black acts as a filler and reinforcing agent in the rubber compound. It influences the dynamic properties of the tyre (abrasion, rolling resistance, wet grip) and is used for colouring
