Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTC: ECLMF), a leading Canadian innovator in sustainable scrap tire recycling technology, is proud to announce that its main offtake client for recovered carbon black (rCB) has approved the quality of rCB produced at the Hawkesbury TDP facility.

The Company recently completed the commissioning of its new milling equipment and rCB processing line. The commissioning showed positive results, which lead the way to the beginning of production and ramp-up.

Using its new laboratory equipment, the Company performed rigorous testing during rCB production to ensure all quality parameters met the thresholds of the rCB offtake clients.

Once the quality thresholds of humidity, pellet size, pellet hardness, ash content and particle size were confirmed, samples orders of the newly produced rCB were shipped to offtake clients for testing.

The clients performed rigorous tests of their own on the samples that they received. Results of their testing were positive and basically similar to those coming from the Company’s own test results.

Following the conclusion of the client’s positive test results, the Company’s main offtake client for rCB issued an initial order for one truckload of 23 metric tons of rCB to be shipped immediately. The Company has the rCB on hand and expects to ship the order this week.

“The commercial acceptance of our rCB by offtake clients reflects the achievement of many years of technology development and commitment. It is a major achievement for the Company and we are confident that additional orders should come because of the quality of our rCB”, said Jean- François Labbé, Interim CEO of the Company.

Once fully operational, the Hawkesbury TDP facility is expected to process approximately 1.3M to 1.5M scrap tires per year and produce on the average approximately 4,000 MT of recovered carbon black, 5,000 MT of pyrolysis oil, 2,000MT of steel, and 1,200 MT of process gas.
