Environmental Waste International Inc. (EWI) announces that it has entered into an agreement with Torreco Inc. (Torreco), a private Ontario corporation, whereby Torreco agrees to invest $7 million to convert EWS's pilot plant in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario into the Company's first commercial-scale recycling plant utilizing EWS's patented microwave technology. EWS will retain a 30% ownership interest in the plant and receive a royalty in perpetuity on the revenue generated from the sale of valuable commodities produced from its environmentally friendly tyre recycling process.
The investment by Torreco is being made via common share purchases of Ellsin Environmental Ltd. (Ellsin), a wholly owned subsidiary of EWS, which owns the Company's waste tyre facility in Sault Ste Marie including land, building and equipment. The $7 million will be used to expand and modernize the plant utilizing EWS's latest technology. In exchange for the investment in Ellsin, Torreco will also be granted the right to build three additional waste tyre facilities in Ontario over the next five years if it meets certain conditions.
Torreco has made an initial share purchase in Ellsin of $400,000 and has committed to invest an additional $6.6 million over the next five months. After investing $7 million, Torreco will own 70% of Ellsin. The construction will require certain regulatory and legal approvals, and there can be no assurances that the entire $7 million will be invested.
