It will also support municipalities in their transition to the circular economy by helping to eliminate the need for landfilling waste shingles."
Mr. Brad Parry, President & CEO of Calgary Economic Development Corp., stated, "Northstar's choice to locate in the Calgary region strengthens our position as a leading destination for innovative companies. Their work will be the first of its kind in North America and is a testament to our business environment and entrepreneurial drive. These are the cleantech players and solutions present in Calgary and Alberta."
Mr. Aidan Mills, President & CEO and Director of Northstar, stated, "We were excited to welcome representatives from media, government and industry from Greater Calgary and Alberta who attended the opening of our first commercial site, as we prepare for construction to commence at the Empower Calgary Facility. Our vision is to be the leading provider of reprocessing asphalt shingles in North America and the first commercial shingle reprocessing facility in Greater Calgary. This is our first step towards achieving that vision. It was great to welcome several of our partners that have helped make the development of the Empower Calgary Facility happen and we are excited to commence with the next steps in the project. We believe we have a proprietary technology that can be a major waste diversion option for asphalt shingles away from landfill in the Greater Calgary area and contribute significantly to Alberta's circular economy."
