(TheNewswire)
Montreal, QC, November 14, 2024 – TheNewswire – Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTCQB: ECLMF) (the “Company” or “Ecolomondo”), a leading innovator in sustainable tire recycling technology, announces that Mario Girard resigned as Director from its Board of Directors.
Mr. Mario Girard recently resigned from the Board of Directors of Ecolomondo Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As explained in his resignation letter, he has accepted a new position as Quebec’s Delegate General in Tokyo, which prevents him to continue being a member of the Boards of public and private companies.
Mr. Girard has been a Director of the Company since it became a publicly listed company, and he chaired the Compensation Committee of the Board for the past 2 years. He greatly contributed to the Board and to the Company with his experience and wisdom. Mr. Girard was President and CEO of the Quebec Port Authority since 2011, where he dramatically
turned around the financial situation and remained strongly involved in improving the local environment such as air quality and industrial emissions.
The Board of Directors wishes Mr. Girard the best of success in his new diplomatic career. The Board of Directors will not replace Mr. Girard for the moment, as Mrs. Lynn Côté was recently added to the Board.
“We thank Mario Girard for his years of support and guidance. We are sad to see him leave our Board but the Government of Quebec certainly made a great addition to its diplomatic team”, said Jean-François Labbé, Interim CEO of the Company.

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 state-of-the-art and houses 3 main production departments, tire shredding, thermal decomposition and recycled carbon black refining. Once fully operational, this facility is expected to process over 1.5M of scrap tires per year and produce 4,500 MT of recovered carbon black, 5,400 MT of oil, 2,250 MT of steel, and to process 1,350 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 thirdquarter 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.
ISO Certification
The Company has obtained ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 45001:2018 certification of its Integrated Management System (IMS), which acknowledges Ecolomondo’s commitment for quality, environmental impact and health and safety at work.
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.
