Carbon Black is a product used in various applications, including printing, optics, electronics and life science. Carbon Black meets all of the criteria for sustainable production. In this blog post, you will find out what these criteria are and some of the challenges that continua faces to continue meeting them.
What is Carbon Black?
Carbon Black is also known as Activated Carbon because of its natural state. It is made by heating wood, coal or petroleum coke without oxygen. This process creates a fine black powder with a high surface area, which is why it’s used in various applications.
Carbon Black Has Many Uses
Paint Pigment is used in coatings such as black vehicle paint and Truck Bed Liners. It’s also used to create black printer ink for newspapers and books.
Electronic Performance Products such as capacitors, transistors and diodes. It’s also used in LED lighting and computer displays.
Optical Components such as light-guiding fibers, filters, droplets and microspheres.
Photolithography Chemicals such as DDP-4 are used in photolithography equipment for film fabrication.
What Makes Carbon Black Sustainable?
Production: Our facility uses the latest technology and equipment to produce our products. We have a small, efficient plant that only uses 30% non-renewable energy. In addition to that, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our waste and carbon footprint.
Transportation: When you ship products out, it’s in less than 20% of the original amount that we ship in. When a customer buys one case, then we buy three more which means the carbon footprint is greatly reduced. In addition to that, we use local trucking companies to minimize our carbon emissions.
Landfill: You have a landfill at our facility, so we don’t have to send the product to landfills and keep waste from leaking into the environment.
Population: Carbon Black is reproducible, which means we can make more of the product with fewer raw materials. You can also recycle the product, which keeps it from going to a landfill, and when it’s gone, it’s gone.
Employees
Making a profit and keeping our employees happy is why sustainability is important at Carbon Black. If the company doesn’t make a profit, then it will be hard to keep the jobs that our employees work so hard at keeping.
Greenhouse Gasses: All of our Carbon Black products are lead-free, which means they are safer for the environment and our customers because of the absence of lead in them.
Emissions Reductions: All of the chemicals that go into our facility are used in less than 50% of their original amount in order to reduce our carbon footprint.
Recycling and Reduction: You don’t need to send as much product to landfills because you recycle it at our facility. Also, when a certain amount of carbon black is used, we place it in a larger container for the next order instead of making another case of it which reduces the amount that is sent to landfills.
Loss of Benefits: The environmental benefits that Carbon Black has aren’t just beneficial to one person or company but to the entire world. Disrupting the environment means disrupting everything in it. This includes food and water supplies as well as people’s health.
Growth: Carbon Black is sustainable because it will only continue to grow and help the planet when used responsibly.
Transportation: You rely on the transportation of products. and in other countries, to keep the economy going. Carbon Black’s sustainable practices allow us to continue making the transportation of goods easier by not adding too much cost or carbon footprint to them.
Waste: You have a landfill at our facility, so we don’t need to send it to landfills and risk contaminating groundwater with dangerous chemicals and toxins that could leak into our water supply.
Education: Carbon Black is currently working with colleges in Jacksonville and other areas to help educate students about sustainability. Education is a huge part of the future, so if we don’t take care of our planet, future generations will have nothing to learn about.
Capital: Carbon Black is nationally marketable, which means that when it’s purchased by a company, it will have nationwide use of it and will see increased profits.
Energy: Unlike other forms of carbon, such as petroleum products, coal and natural gas, there is no need to purchase energy from Carbon Black. It’s all created within the facility, meaning there is no need for electricity or fuel to produce it.
Patent: There are currently eight patents in Carbon Black’s name which means a great deal of money. The top five patents (which are all related to the manufacturing process) have a value of more than 1 million dollars.
Conditions and Productivity: Carbon Black is a safe, effective product to use and, when used properly, will stay usable for a long time without any changes to the product or its chemistry. Also, making products faster and cleaner is possible because we don’t need as much energy to do so.
Sustainability: Carbon Black is sustainable because it is used in products, so if it goes to a landfill, then the product won’t be reusable and would become a waste of time and money for the company.
Economy: The economy is directly tied to environmentalism because if we try to go fast and break things, we see much less profit than if we take our time and make them look nice with a natural look to them.
Health and Safety: Carbon Black is made of 100% non-toxic ingredients, which means it’s safe for our employees, customers, the environment and wildlife. It’s also completely recyclable, meaning it stays out of landfills.
Profit: Carbon Black is the only medium-to-high-profit product that is environmentally friendly. There are other products out there that claim to be environmentally friendly, but if the company does not make a consistent profit, then it’s not sustainable.
Products: Carbon Black has so many uses for products which is why it’s a very popular form of carbon.
Chemicals: Carbon Black has no chemicals in it, which means it’s safe for everyone, especially the environment and animals.
Conclusion
Carbon Black is a company that does more than just sell products. It’s a company that is trying to make the world better for future generations. It’s a company that works hard to ensure both its customers and employees are safe, healthy and happy while also providing an environmentally sustainable carbon black that people will purchase and not have to worry about their waste going into landfills or floating in the air they breathe.
