BOSTON - Cabot Corporation (NYSE:CBT), a specialty chemicals company with a market capitalization of $4 billion and strong financial health according to InvestingPro analysis, has enhanced its manufacturing capabilities for circular reinforcing carbons at its Ville Platte, Louisiana facility, according to a press release issued Tuesday. The site joins existing locations in Brazil and the Czech Republic in producing these sustainable materials.
The circular reinforcing carbons are manufactured using tire pyrolysis oil derived from end-of-life tires, utilizing an International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS mass balance approach. These products serve as drop-in replacements for traditional carbon black without compromising performance.
Cabot has also expanded its network of ISCC PLUS certified sites to 14 facilities globally, including 12 sites supporting its reinforcing carbon portfolio across Europe, the Americas and Asia, plus two masterbatch and compounding sites in Europe.
"With the expansion of our manufacturing footprint for circular reinforcing carbons under the recovered category of our EVOLVE Sustainable Solutions technology platform, we are well-positioned to continue to deliver scalable solutions," said Aatif Misbah, vice president and general manager, Sustainable Solutions, Reinforcement Materials segment.
The company stated that many tire manufacturers have established sustainability goals targeting 40% sustainable material usage by 2030 and 100% by 2050, creating demand for circular solutions.
By broadening production capabilities in North America, Cabot aims to strengthen supply chain efficiency through its "make-in-region, sell-in-region" approach while reducing transportation-related emissions across its value chain. Trading near its 52-week low, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued, with additional ProTips and comprehensive research available for subscribers. The company has maintained dividend payments for 55 consecutive years, demonstrating long-term financial stability.
ISCC is a globally applicable certification system designed to ensure compliance with ecological and social requirements, greenhouse gas emissions savings and traceability.
