Montreal, QC – TheNewswire - May 26, 2025 -- Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTCQB ECLMF) (the “Company” or “Ecolomondo”), a leading Canadian innovator in sustainable scrap tire recycling technology, is pleased to announce the successful installation and commissioning of its new milling machine.
The technical teams at the plant focused their efforts during the past few months on the installation and commissioning of the new milling machine that processes the recovered carbon black (“rCB”) produced at the Hawkesbury plant.
The new milling machine was tested and the results produced an output of 3,000 lbs per hour, with a particle size distribution of 97% (“D97”) below 15 microns. The rCB throughput achieved more than satisfies the rCB requirements of the total Hawkesbury plant output and the particle size achieved at D97 below 15 microns should more than satisfy the most stringent demands of the Company’s off-take customers. The particle size achieved was also independently tested by a third party, Polytechnique de Montréal
Now that these milestones have been achieved, the technical teams aim to focus on commissioning the downstream equipment, in particular the conveying, pelletizer, dryer and bagging systems. The Company expects to complete this commissioning in the coming weeks and begin initial processing of rCB soon thereafter.
The final commissioning of the new milling line is very important to reaching full ramp-up of the Hawkesbury TDP facility, especially since rCB is a very significant revenue driver of the Hawkesbury plant.
“Our clients have informed the Company that they are anxiously awaiting regular supply of rCB. The commissioning of the new milling line will be a major achievement that brings the Hawkesbury facility closer to full production”, said Jean-François Labbé, Interim CEO of the Company.
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 an average of approximately 4,000 MT of recovered carbon black, 5,000 MT of pyrolysis oil, 2,000 MT of steel, and 1,200 MT of process gas.

Nominated for the 2025 RECIRCLE AWARDS
Ecolomondo was nominated as finalist at the 2025 Recircle Awards for the Tire Pyrolysis Award. The Recircle Awards is a global event designed to recognise the contribution of companies and individuals within the tire manufacturing, retreading and recycling industries towards the Circular Economy.
About Ecolomondo Corporation
Ecolomondo Corporation, headquartered in Québec, is a Canadian cleantech company that takes pride in its proprietary Thermal Decomposition technology (TDP). It has a 25-year history and during this time has been focused on its development of its technology and the deployment of TDP turnkey facilities. TDP recovers high value re-usable commodities from scrap tire waste, notably rCB, oil, syngas, fiber and steel. Ecolomondo expects to be a leading player in the cleantech space and be an active contributor to the global circular economy. Ecolomondo trades in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol (TSXV:ECM) and in the United States under the symbol (OTCQB:ECLMF). To learn more, visit www.ecolomondo.com
Revenue Streams of TDP Facilities
Revenues from TDP turnkey facilities will come from selling of the end-products they produce, namely recovered carbon black, oil, gas, fiber and steel and from tipping fees (or disposal 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 – CO2 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 CO2 emissions by 15,000 and 45,000 tons per year, respectively.
