Ecolomondo Corporation (Ecolomondo) – a cleantech company specializing in the commercialization of its Thermal Decomposition Process (TDP) proprietary recycling technology and the global deployment of TDP turnkey facilities – announced that it has released its unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and its related management discussion and analysis for the interim period ended June 30, 2023 (Interim Financial Statements). The documents are available on SEDAR website.

Hercules Global SARL, a manufacturing company based in Sandiara, Senegal, has successfully concluded the construction of a recycling facility within the Sandiara Special Economic Zone (SEZ). This new plant utilizes advanced technology to transform motor oil and end-of-life tires into automotive lubricants and carbon black powder. The Sandiara plant encompasses three distinct units: a lubricant mixing facility with an annual capacity of 3 million tons, a tire-to-carbon black powder conversion plant, and an aluminum alloy plant capable of producing 10,000 metric tons per year.

In a recent study, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have unveiled a novel energy storage solution that harnesses the power of two of humanity's most familiar materials: cement and carbon black. These materials, when combined and integrated with water, create a supercapacitor — an alternative to traditional batteries — with the potential to revolutionize the field of renewable energy storage. The researchers envision a range of applications for this innovative energy storage system. For instance, they suggest that this supercapacitor could be seamlessly incorporated into the concrete foundation of buildings, enabling the storage of a full day's worth of energy without significantly altering construction costs or compromising structural integrity. Furthermore, the concept of embedding this technology into concrete roadways has been proposed, offering the potential for contactless recharging of electric vehicles as they traverse these roads.

Ecolomondo Corporation – a cleantech company specializing in the commercialization of its Thermal Decomposition Process (TDP) proprietary recycling technology and the global deployment of TDP turnkey facilities – announced that Reactor 1of its 2-reactor TDP plant in Hawkesbury, Ontario, has been certified by TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) for the use of the syngas (process gas) produced from TDP production cycles as the energy source to fire up reactors.

Pyrolysis, an advanced chemical recycling route for End-of-Life Tires (ELT), is experiencing a boom in the last few years. As seen objectively, there is no one best design and/or process mode. Different options can be considered depending on the local circumstances and/or targeted product yields and qualities. While only a small portion of global ELT arisings (31 million tons per year) are currently finding their way to thermochemical decomposition, recent developments are showing strong signs of promising opportunities.

In a move to achieve its sustainability goals, Saudi Arabia’s environmental management services company Reviva signed an agreement with HAMAH Holding Co. and Taiwanese recycling firm Enrestec to recycle waste tires at the regional level. This new partnership seeks to promote recycling, protect resources, and significantly decrease environmental pollution.

The Recovered Carbon Black 2023 Conference provides a much-needed platform for experts and innovators, who research, develop and commercialise recovered carbon black to stay updated on the latest market developments, challenges and opportunities.

Entyr Limited – an Australian company delivering a complete circular solution for end-of-life tires – has raised $7.9 million AUD in capital to further develop its Stapylton plant in Queensland and achieve full commercial capacity. The company utilizes a patented thermal process to produce high-quality products from recycled tires, which are already being sold in commercial markets. Entyr aims to complete the transition to full commercialization this year. The funds raised will support the expansion of Entyr's Stapylton facility and facilitate the final stage of site commercialization. CEO David Wheeley expressed gratitude for the support from both new and existing investors.

Bolder Industries, Inc. and Soucy Techno announced today the signing of a formal multi-year supply agreement for BolderBlack®, the premier sustainable carbon black alternative. This is an extension of a previous agreement made between Bolder and Soucy and a result of Bolder’s ability to deliver product quality and consistency over many years – signaling a major achievement in the recovered carbon black industry. The partnership between Bolder and Soucy began in 2016 with a co-development of plastic masterbatch at Soucy’s Sherbrooke-based lab. Since then, Soucy has continued to expand the use of BolderBlack in their plastics components for agricultural and industrial vehicle sectors with a 1,000% increase in volume offtake of BolderBlack over the last 5 years.
