Northstar Receives First Truckload of Asphalt Shingles at Empower Pilot Facility

November 17, 2022

Vancouver, BC – Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF, OTCQB: ROOOF) (“Northstar” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the first collection of previously landfill bound asphalt shingles at the Company’s asphalt shingle reprocessing facility in Delta, British Columbia (“Empower Pilot Facility”).

While the Company has been producing saleable quantities of liquid asphalt for some time now from its on-site shingle inventory and having received its Brokering License from Metro Vancouver (as previously announced by the Company on August 3, 2022), the Company has now fully commissioned its digital weigh scale and is able to collect shingles. The processing of the first truck of asphalt shingles means the shingle collection process is operational. The Company expects to work with local partners to ramp up collection activities at the Empower Pilot Facility.

Mr. Aidan Mills, President & CEO and Director of Northstar, stated “This is an exciting milestone for Northstar and our stakeholders, as it marks the start of diverting discarded asphalt shingles from the Vancouver landfill to our Empower Pilot Facility, allowing them to enter the circular economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from liquid asphalt production. We will work with our industry partners to increase shingle collection at the Empower Pilot Facility. This is an important step for our business model, as it will mark our ability to collect tipping fees, an important revenue stream for the business.”
