Ecolomondo Announces the Upcoming Delivery of its New Milling Line

(via TheNewswire)

 

Montreal, QC – TheNewswire -  January 7, 2025 -- Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTCQB: ECLMF) (the “Company” or “Ecolomondo”), a leading innovator in sustainable tire recycling technology, is pleased to announce that its new milling line is expected to be delivered to the Hawkesbury TDP facility by mid January, as planned.

 

The Company further announces that the milling line originally installed at the Hawkesbury facility has now been dismantled. As previously announced, it was incapable of achieving the required output of 1,600 lbs per hour of recovered carbon black (“rCB”) nor was it capable to yield the desired particle size of 10-15 microns, the particle size needed by most of the Company’s rCB customers.

 

Upon discovery of the deficiencies, the Company took action immediately, selected and purchased a replacement milling line capable of producing the required output and achieving the needed particle size. The new milling line will have the capabilities of milling 2,200 lbs per hour of rCB and produce the particle size of 10-15 microns, that should satisfy all the Company’s rCB customers.

 

The Company is proud to announce that the new milling line purchased in August 2024 has been built, inspected, paid for and shipped on November 26, 2024. Delivery has been confirmed and is scheduled to arrive at the Company’s Hawkesbury facility by mid January 2025.

 

The Company has been preparing to receive the new milling line for several months and is well prepared for its installation. Once installed, this new milling line will be fully automated and have the capacity to process all of rCB produced at the Hawkesbury facility. Commissioning is expected to begin in March 2025 and be operational in April 2025.

 

“The successful operation of the new milling line is last step to the full commissioning of our Hawkesbury TDP facility, we look forward to begin deliveries of large quantities of rCB to our customers. We believe this will be the last chapter before full commercialization,”, said Jean-François Labbé, Interim CEO of the Company.

About the Hawkesbury Plant – A 2-Reactor TDP Facility

The Hawkesbury facility building is 46,200 sq.ft and has an indoor clearance of 28 feet. It is state-of-the-art and houses 3 main production departments, tire shredding, thermal decomposition and recycled carbon black refining. Once fully operational, this facility is expected to process over 1.5M of scrap tires per year and produce 4,500 MT of recovered carbon black, 5,400 MT of oil, 2,250 MT of steel, and to process 1,350 MT of process gas.

 

About the Shamrock Project – A 6-Reactor TDP Facility

Processing capabilities for the Shamrock facility is projected at 5 million end-of-life tires per year, yielding approximately 15,000 MT of recovered carbon black, 18,000 MT of oil, 7,500 MT of steel, and to process 4,500 MT of syngas; roughly three times the size of the Company’s Hawkesbury (Ontario) plant output that is expected to soon commence regular commercial operations. Facility construction is expected to begin by the third quarter of 2025 and projected to cost approximately US$93 million.

 

Our Mission, Vision & Strategy

Ecolomondo’s mission is to be a contributing participant in a dynamic Circular Economy and to increase shareholder value by producing and supplying large quantities of recovered resources to be re-used in the manufacture of new products.

Ecolomondo’s vision is to be a leading producer and reseller of recovered resources by building and operating TDP facilities, strategically located in industrialized countries, close to feedstock, labor and offtake clients.

Our strategy is to become a major global builder and operator of TDP turnkey facilities, for now specializing in the processing of ELTs. Our intent is to expand aggressively in North America and Europe. Our experience and modular technology should help us get there faster and better. We plan to keep performing ongoing research and development to ensure that Ecolomondo remains technologically advanced.

 

ISCC Certification

 A confirmation of the Company’s successful process lies in the recent International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (“ISCC”) for its Hawkesbury TDP facility, another step forward that should help improve demand for TDP. ISCC is a Global Sustainability Certification System and offers chain-of-custody certification systems to ensure traceability and feedstock identity, which can add commercial value to the Company’s end-products as they remain traceable in the supply chain.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

On the social aspect the Company plans to measure global health and safety, injury rate and gender diversity, and finally in the corporate governance aspect, the Company is measuring ethics and anticorruption, ESG reporting and board independence.

 

About TDP

The TDP process is technically proven and more advanced than most other pyrolysis technologies. Over the years, our Technological teams were able to overcome all uncertainties that plagued most competitors especially in these areas: pre-filtration, reactor cooling, reactor rotation, water recycling, processing of rCB, (hydrocarbon removal), mass monitoring, heat curve development, humidity and water removal, safety testing, system automation, emissions control and monitoring.

 

TDP is Environmentally Friendly – CO2 Reduction

By producing rCB, TDP reduces GHG emissions by 90% versus the production of virgin carbon black. The production of rCB at the Hawkesbury and Shamrock facilities are expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 15,000 and 45,000 tons per year, respectively.
