Overview

Ecolomondo is a Canadian cleantech company that is building and operating Thermal Decomposition turnkey facilities using its proprietary TDP Technology that processes hydrocarbon waste to produce high quality end-products for reuse by industry.

With 25+ years of industry experience and a track record of establishing strong circular economy partnerships, the company is strategically positioned to become a major global vendor of recycled resources such as high-quality recycled carbon black, oil, gas and steel.

The most common types of hydrocarbon waste are tires, rubber, plastic, automobile shred residue, roof shingles and disposed diapers. Even though TDP will process all types of carbon waste, Ecolomondo has begun to commercialize its technologies by building and operating end of life (scrapped) tires TDP turnkey facilities.

Over the years, rigorous Research and Development performed by a qualified team of professionals along with a dedicated and effective management have positioned Ecolomondo to become a global industry player.

Revenue growth will come from the building and operations of fully automated TDP facilities that will be built at strategically selected locations. Site selections are based on the availability of feedstock, proximity to offtake customers, labor pool and government incentives.

Ecolomondo is planning to aggressively expand its TDP facilities network in North America, and, as well, in other parts of the world.

Ecolomondo is continuously seeking to partner with public and private sector industry groups looking for breakthrough solutions for processing hydrocarbon solid waste.
