AJAX, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 05/21/13 — Environmental Waste International Inc. (“EWS”) (TSX VENTURE: EWS) (the “Company”), a company specializing in eco-friendly systems with proven patented technology for the breakdown of organic materials, today announced the successful completion of a continuous 24-hour run of its TR900 waste tire Pilot Plant in Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario, Canada. This is the longest continuous run in the Company–s history.
EWS–s technology has been tested to break down many organic materials. The Company–s patented Reverse Polymerization Process has initially been focused on the reduction of entire waste tires to their basic valuable commodities including carbon black, bunker oil and steel. The 24-hour run produced over 4,000 pounds of carbon black. Several interested potential customers have already requested samples of this output for test purposes.
Dr. Daniel Kaute, President and CEO of EWS, commented, “We are pleased to be operating a tire recycling plant that can successfully process entire waste tires into high quality by products in an environmentally friendly manner. There is a great deal of demand for carbon black produced in a consistent, environmentally friendly and economical manner. We are using the technical analysis of this run to improve the results and longevity of our next test. We look forward to running the system again shortly and providing investors with further updates.”
Carbon black is produced through the combustion of heavy petroleum products. It is mainly used as reinforcing filler in tires and other rubber products such as belts and hoses. It can also be used as a pigment in inks, coating and plastics. There are strict guidelines in place for those manufacturing carbon black to ensure health and safety pertaining to the inhalation of unsafe toxins. The industry is therefore seeking alternatives to produce the commodity. EWS believes its technology presents a valuable and entirely environmentally friendly alternative.
