CALGARY, AB, Aug. 22, 2023 /CNW/ - PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. (the "Company" or "PlasCred") (CSE: PLAS) (OTC: MGPRF) (Frankfurt: 304A), a transformative leader in the plastic waste management sector, is proud to announce its revolutionary approach to granting plastic a valuable second life. With the vision of rebalancing the future of plastics, PlasCred is advancing towards a climate- positive future, aspiring to be among the largest advanced plastic waste upcycler's in North America and worldwide.

PlasCred employs a patent-pending, three-step pyrolysis process:

Heating: The plastic waste is heated, transforming it into a liquid state. This is the initial step towards a sustainable future.

Thermal Degradation: The liquid then undergoes thermal degradation, producing a vapor. This second phase prepares the materials for their final transformation.

Catalyst Interaction: The vapor interacts with specially selected catalysts, turning plastic waste into a zero-sulphur green condensate, a valuable and environmentally friendly product.

The company's unique process can transform up to 80% of unsorted, unwashed waste plastic. The proposed Maximus facility is designed to produce approximately 2,000 up to 10,000 barrels a day of zero sulphur green condensate and remove approximately 300 up to 1,300 metric tonnes a day of plastic waste from the environment.

PlasCred's process is commercially viable and climate positive. It is highly efficient and automated.

The process has a small footprint for operating space, with a very low operator to processor ratio, and a modular design for easy deployment and scalability.

Minimal water usage is required, primarily at the front end of the process to clean the plastic, as well as some non-contact cooling.

Electricity usage is minimal, with produced fuel gas used to transform the plastic to condensate.

The process is safe, operating at atmospheric pressure and not susceptible to risks with pressure and vacuum-based systems.

PlasCred has formed partnerships with Fibreco Export Inc. and CN Rail, providing unparalleled transportation and logistics for collecting plastic feedstock efficiently across North America and internationally.

The company has multiple revenue channels, including the production of Zero Sulphur Green Condensate, Plastic and Carbon Credits, and Commercial End Products.

PlasCred's approach has the potential to set a completely new benchmark for plastic credits, emphasizing positive environmental outcomes and establishing PlasCred as the benchmark for environmental credits, encompassing both plastic and carbon credits.

PlasCred's innovative approach to plastic upcycling, combined with its strategic partnerships and commercialization strategy, positions the company as a leader in the sustainable management of plastic waste.

In the dynamic energy landscape of Alberta, condensate holds a significant position. PlasCred's final product, a high-quality condensate, aligns perfectly with the demands of this market. One of the key strengths of the condensate market is its predictability. With daily known pricing, PlasCred can make informed decisions, ensuring stability in operations and financial planning.

Condensate's versatility further enhances its value. It can be seamlessly integrated into various processes, whether for blending or refining, making it a sought-after commodity in the industry. Notably, Edmonton Condensate consistently trades on par or above Canadian Light Sweet Crude oil, underscoring its premium value in the market.

The current market demand for condensate in Alberta stands at approximately 1,000,000 barrels per day. A significant portion, around 200,000 barrels, is imported from the U.S. This presents a tremendous opportunity for PlasCred. Alberta based blender/shippers of heavy crude are keen to source high-quality condensate locally, reducing dependency on imports. With PlasCred's production capabilities, the company is poised to meet this demand, reinforcing its position as an emerging player in the Alberta condensate market.

At the heart of PlasCred's success is its world-class management and engineering team, each member bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the table. This team, comprised of industry veterans and innovators, has been instrumental in driving the company's vision forward. Their combined knowledge, dedication, and passion for sustainable solutions have been pivotal in shaping PlasCred's innovative approach to plastic upcycling. Their leadership not only ensures the company stays at the forefront of technological advancements but also fosters a culture of excellence, making PlasCred a beacon in the circular economy.
