CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2019 / For some time now we've been hearing that
governments around the world have intentions to ban single-use plastics, such as plastic bags and drinking straws; however, dealing
with the disposal of billions of coffee cups is also a big issue. Sparta Capital Ltd. (TSXV: SAY) (the
"Corporation" or "Sparta") has already revealed that it plans to turn waste plastics into useful
commodities and now the Corporation is announcing that coffee cup lids will be included in this trash to profit process.
Recently, Sparta announced a Joint Venture with Pi.ECO Canada Ltd., to convert unsortable waste plastic into clean synthetic
fuel, on an industrial scale. This will now include coffee lids. As the project continues to advance, Sparta is looking for
additional profitable technologies to convert other waste streams, as well as apply technology that can enhance the sale of the
off-take from all projects.
In terms of waste plastic, Sparta has an established catchment area in Southern Ontario that can provide more than 100 tons per
day of waste plastic. It took time to find the right technology to handle what many people think of as trash but what is really a
valuable resource. Sparta management saw the opportunity to start locally with the plastic waste problem but with a vision to
expand globally.
"We strongly believe that what we have in front of us is the ability to scale the process of transforming waste plastic into
fuel virtually anywhere in the world, but it makes sense for us to start right here in our own back yard," said, Sparta President,
John O'Bireck.
Sparta is also looking into how to address the growing concern about proper recycling of coffee cups, arising from them being
manufactured from both paper fiber and plastic. As well, the Corporation is trying to address a brand-new concern – how to deal
with the safe destruction of marijuana-related biomass coming from Canada's recent legalization of cannabis. A catchment basin is
already in place to capture such waste and now technologies are being analyzed with special consideration being given to how the
benefits of the present waste streams can be combined with these new waste streams, once under Sparta control.
