Sparta Capital Looking to Convert Waste Plastic to Diesel Fuel

Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - Sparta Capital Ltd. (TSXV: SAY) (the “Corporation” or “Sparta”) is pleased to announce that its ReECO Tech™ division has signed a Non-Binding Memo of Understanding (“M.O.U.”) with Pi ECO Canada Ltd., to jointly convert unsortable waste plastics into synthetic diesel fuel, on an industrial scale. 

The plan is to construct an initial facility in the Greater Toronto Area (“GTA”) to re-direct some 18,000 tons per year of waste plastic from landfill - converting it to eco-friendly, low sulfur, ASTM II certified, synthetic diesel fuel. (the “Joint Venture”).

Using an energy-efficient process to divert plastics from the waste stream and prevent it from ending up in our waterways has always been a goal for Sparta. Management is thrilled to now have the MOU in place to help reach that goal.

The Joint Venture remains subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and regulatory approval including but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Financing for the initial equipment has already been secured through a guaranteed line of credit that will be re-paid over ten-years with a blend of principle, interest and royalties.

“We’re very excited to be working with Pi Eco Canada as they too are very focused on doing what’s right for the planet, with a real interest and desire to address the mountains of plastic that are now floating in our oceans. What we are planning to do together is a crucial next step to address that issue while profiting from Doing What’s Right®; diverting waste and transforming it into something profitable” said John O’Bireck, President of Sparta.

Just this week, news of the non-profit, Ocean Cleanup unleashing a floating boom in the Pacific Ocean designed to collect plastics, made headlines around the world. A report by the World Economic Forum suggests that an estimated eight million metric tons of plastic waste ends up in oceans from land every year. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area located between Hawaii and California is said to contain the most ocean plastic in the world, but discarded plastic isn’t just in the Pacific or just in our waterways; its everywhere. The Sparta team wants to do its part to lesson the load and believes that there is no better way to do so than by creating something of value from plastic waste.
