Empower Facility in Delta, BC successfully processes saleable end products from single-use asphalt shingles that would otherwise be directed into landfill

 Northstar Clean Technologies Inc.

Most notably, testing of the liquid asphalt recovered from a third-party independent lab demonstrated the quality and penetration rate of the asphalt is well within the range of acceptability for sale to end-use customers. Northstar has a binding offtake agreement in place for 100% of the liquid asphalt recovered from its Empower Facility in Delta, BC with a multi-national construction materials company, a copy of which has been previously filed on the Company's profile page on SEDAR at www.sedar.com .

The Empower Facility is designed to process and repurpose single-use asphalt shingles, resulting in three end-use products for repurposing: liquid asphalt, fiber and aggregate.

Mr. Aidan Mills , CEO of Northstar, states, "While these commissioning runs are not full-scale production, we are very pleased with the results. The preliminary testing demonstrates that the quality and specifications of the repurposed liquid asphalt is well within the acceptable range for sale to customers. We look forward to incrementally increasing throughput in batch runs to continue optimizing the plant in preparation for steady state production."

Mr. Mills continues, "Our mission is to be the leading asphalt shingle material recovery provider in North America , extracting 99% of the recovered components from single-use asphalt shingles that would otherwise be sent to the landfill. We expect our clean technology solution to have a significant impact on the environment by reducing landfill usage, while also meeting the robust market demand for our products and anticipate this well help us generate long-term returns for our stakeholders."

Single-use asphalt shingles are the 4 th largest category of construction waste 1 according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), being used in approximately two-thirds of all new and replacement homes throughout North America , according to the Northeast Recycling Council ("NERC") 2 .

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been gaining popularity in North America in a wide range of industries, including the clean energy sector, whose appeal is rapidly increasing.

These are just some of the trends that will affect cleantech in 2024 and beyond.

ETFs have become so popular partially because they provide a safer way for investors to gain exposure to various industries while avoiding the volatility that comes with investing in individual stocks.
