During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company continued on an aggressive pace to promote its TDP technology and market its TDP turnkey facilities. The company also completed construction of its state-of-the-art Hawkesbury TDP facility. The Hawkesbury TDP facility is currently undergoing commissioning with commercial operations expected to begin shortly. With commercial operations set to begin at Hawkesbury, the company is currently pursuing other opportunities and locations to build and license TDP Facilities across North America and Europe.

Additionally, as part of its global strategy, the Company recruited Hari Krishna Mynampati to serve as Global Sales Director, End Products. In this role Mr. Krishna is responsible for securing purchase orders and offtake agreements for the End Products produced at TDP facilities in addition to educating industry stakeholders on the benefits of the circular products that the Company produces. Mr. Krishna has over 13 years of experience in the Carbon Black industry serving as the Head of International Sales and Marketing at Epsilon Carbon, a leading carbon black manufacturer, and at Rex-tone Industries and Phillips Carbon Black.

The Company expects to begin operations at Hawkesbury in Q2 2022, gradually ramping up to full production volumes. Full production is defined by the company as operating the plant on a continuous basis 24 hours per day, 330 days per year. The company has received a combination of trendsetting purchase orders and off-take agreements for the high-quality recovered carbon black (“rCB”), oil and steel that will be produced at the Hawkesbury TDP facility.

“We believe that 2021 was a transformative year for Ecolomondo and we look forward to continuing our momentum, to solidify the Company’s global position in the industry and to become a large producer and supplier of recycled resources. I believe that the next 12 months will be a period of rapid growth for Ecolomondo, leading to its global success,” stated Eliot Sorella, Chairman and CEO.

In line with its aggressive expansion policy, the Company recently announced its next project, a six-reactor TDP facility to be located in Shamrock, Texas. Working in close consultation with the Shamrock Economic Development Corporation, Ecolomondo entered into a binding land purchase agreement for a 136.76-acre parcel of land on I-40 in Shamrock, Texas for the proposed plant construction.

Production capabilities for the Shamrock facility suggest an estimated processing of 50,000 metric tons per year of end-of-life tires, yielding approximately 15,900 metric tons of recovered carbon black, 128,100 barrels of oil, 5,400 metric tons of steel, 2,550 metric tons of fiber and 4,800 metric tons of syngas; roughly three times the size of the Company’s Hawkesbury (Ontario) plant output. Facility construction is expected to begin by the end of the third quarter of 2022 with completion expected in early 2024. Projected cost to build is approximately US $80 million. The Company is currently in progressive discussions to secure the required project financing and is pursuing a potential joint venture partner.
