Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 11, 2024) - PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. (CSE: PLAS) (FSE: XV2) (the "Company" or "PlasCred"), a transformative leader in the plastic waste upcycling sector, is pleased to announce an update on the PlasCred Neos facility and Q2 2024 results.
The commissioning of the patent-pending Primus pilot facility in Calgary has been a pivotal moment for PlasCred, marking a crucial step forward in our mission to revolutionize the plastic waste management industry. The Primus facility, with its state-of-the-art technology, has achieved impressive liquid yield rates of up to 80% of renewable green condensate, underscoring PlasCred's commitment to sustainable and efficient upcycling processes. This achievement not only highlights our innovative approach but also sets a strong foundation for the next phase of our growth-the development of the PlasCred Neos facility.
The PlasCred Neos facility is poised to be a game-changer in the upcycling of plastic waste. Designed to produce approximately 300 barrels of renewable green condensate per day, Neos will also upcycle approximately 60 tonnes of secured plastic waste daily. Additionally, negotiations are underway for a long-term offtake agreement to purchase the renewable green condensate. This significant increase in both capacity and scalability represents a substantial leap forward from the Primus pilot facility, positioning Neos as a key player in the global push towards a circular economy.
In collaboration with Grey Owl Engineering Ltd. ("GOE"), we have initiated a comprehensive Front-End Engineering Design ("FEED") study for the Neos facility. This study, which is expected to be completed by early Q4 2024, will provide a detailed analysis of the project's costs, timelines, and design specifications. Notably, the Neos facility will be a fully modular design, enabling rapid deployment and scalability across various locations. Following the completion of the FEED study, PlasCred will release a full breakdown of the project metrics, offering transparency and insight into the economic and environmental benefits of this pioneering project.
The progress on Neos is a testament to our strategic vision and commitment to addressing the global plastic waste crisis. However, our ambitions extend beyond Neos. PlasCred's primary focus remains on the development of our flagship Maximus facility and the establishment of additional sites across North America. These efforts are in line with our broader strategy to scale our operations and deliver sustainable plastic waste solutions on a global scale.
Our strategic partnerships are instrumental in realizing this vision. In collaboration with CN Rail and Palantir Technologies Inc., we are leveraging CN Rail's extensive logistics network to ensure the efficient transportation of raw materials and products, while Palantir's advanced AI-driven data analytics Foundry platform (Palantir Foundry) is optimizing our operational efficiency and scalability. These partnerships are key to ensuring that our facilities are scalable and operate at the highest levels of efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
Troy Lupul, President and CEO of PlasCred, commented, "We are thrilled with the progress on the modular Neos project, which marks a significant leap in our ability to tackle plastic waste at scale. As we advance through the FEED study, we're confident that Neos will set a new standard in plastic waste upcycling, paving the way for even larger initiatives like our Maximus facility. Our strategic partners play a crucial role in making this vision a reality, and we are excited about the potential impact these projects will have on the environment and the economy."
PlasCred remains committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the plastic waste management sector, and the development of the Neos and Maximus facilities is a clear demonstration of our dedication to this cause.
