Montreal, QC, November 28, 2024 – TheNewswire – Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTCQB: ECLMF) (the “Company” or “Ecolomondo”), a leading innovator in sustainable tire recycling technology, announces that it has released its unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and its related management discussion and analysis (“MDA”) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 (the “Interim Financial Statements”). The documents are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com 

Highlights of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2024, are:

• The Company had sales of $409,682 in 2024, including $173,837 in the third quarter, all generated from the sales of end-products and tipping fees, resulting in a cumulative increase of 167% compared to 2023; 

• As of September 30, 2024, capital expenditures for the Hawkesbury TDP turnkey facility totaled $47,897,206, compared to $44,554,339 as of December 31, 2023, net of depreciation.  

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company undertook several important goals in financing, operations and corporate governance. On July 18, 2024, the Company announced the conclusion of final documentation for the loan of $3 million from Export Development Canada (“EDC”), destined to improve the Hawkesbury subsidiary’s cash position and pay for additional equipment needed to help bring the Hawkesbury plant to commercial operation.

On July 26, 2024, the Company announced the closing of a previously announced non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of C$506,660.04. In addition, in September 2024, the Company was allowed to modify the conditions of 3,076,922 warrants issued pursuant to a Company’s private placement closed on September 24, 2021: the expiry date is extended by an additional 2 years to September 24, 2026, and the exercise price is reduced from $1.00 to $0.24. 

In July 2024, the Company ordered the new carbon black milling equipment, which has been shipped on November 26, 2024. It is expected to be delivered in early January 2025, and installed during the months of January and February 2025 while commissioning is to begin in late February 2025. 

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to hire qualified operators, mechanics, supervisors and general workers, and it kept improving its tire shredding and TDP output, having recently achieved a processing capacity of over 15 short tons of crumb rubber in an 8-hour shift, which would provide enough crumb rubber to supply TDP reactors at projected payloads of 15,000 lbs per batch for over 2 batches per reactor per day.

During the third quarter, Mrs. Lynn Côté, well known as a cleantech professional and in cleantech financing, joined the Company as Director, and Mr. Jean-François Labbé, an executive with Ecolomondo since 2013 and its current Chief Operating Officer, was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer.

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. 

ISO Certification

The Company has obtained ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 45001:2018 certification of its Integrated Management System (IMS), which acknowledges Ecolomondo’s commitment for quality, environmental impact and health and safety at work.

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.
