What Is Carbon Black?
Carbon black for rubber reinforcement was discovered in England in the early 1900s. It is currently one of the top 50 industrial chemicals and is used in tire rubber, plastics, inks, toners etc. The use of carbon black extends the life of rubber products and reduces our use of natural resources.
Diversity and Inclusion
Cabot Brazil has a Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) committee that is responsible for advancing D&I efforts at Cabot. The statement below was idealized by the committee:

Próxima geração de líderes de sustentabilidade em Mauá, Brasil
Nossos colegas da unidade de Mauá, no Brasil, introduziram um programa educacional para abordar tópicos não tradicionalmente ensinados nas escolas locais.
Chamado de “Projeto Semear,” o programa visa inspirar os jovens da comunidade a ajudar a lidar com questões ambientais e sociais, educar seus colegas e familiares e aprender hábitos que os prepararão para serem adultos responsáveis. Este projeto combina o trabalho voluntário de nossos funcionários e um professor especializado que ensina crianças de uma escola local sobre temas relacionados à sustentabilidade, incluindo consumo de água, reciclagem, cidadania, segurança e muito mais.
