About Ecolomondo Corporation

Ecolomondo Corporation, headquartered in Quebec, is a Canadian cleantech company focused on its proprietary Thermal Decomposition Process (“TDP”) technology, which recovers high-value commodities from scrap tire waste, including recovered carbon black (rCB), tire-derived oil (TDO), syngas, fiber, and steel.

Revenue Streams of TDP Facilities

Revenue streams from the TDP turnkey facilities will come from the sale of end-products manufactured on-site, namely rCB, oil, steel and syngas, as well as tipping fees for the processing of scrap tires.

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 modern and houses 3 main production departments, tire shredding, thermal decomposition and recovered carbon black refining. Once fully operational, this 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.

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.

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 – CO 2 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 CO 2 emissions by 15,000 and 45,000 tons per year, respectively.
