Since our founding in 2011, we have pioneered circular solutions for rubber, plastics, and petrochemical supply chains by converting end-of-life tires into sustainable carbon black (BolderBlack), petrochemicals (BolderOilTM), steel (BolderSteelTM), and power. We have developed and scaled a proprietary process that generates 98% less CO2, uses 85% less water and energy than traditional methods, and utilizes 98% of every scrap tire. As a Certified B Corp and ISO 9001 company, every team member at Bolder Industries, Inc. is committed to the environmental, social, and governance matters that form the core of our mission. We seek customers and partners equally committed to positive, lasting change.
