Waste Energy Corp Targets Scalable Growth with Strategic Win and Four-State Regulatory Pipeline in Motion
Company Sets Shareholder Call for June 12th FAIRFIELD, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 29, 2025 / Waste Energy Corp ('Waste Energy' or the 'Company'), (OTCQB:WAST), an emerging leader in sustainable waste-to-energy innovation, today announced a series of major corporate milestones as it prepares to enter the revenue generation phase of its business in the second half of 2025. WEC has completed the procurement of all parts and components required to build its first full-scale waste-to-energy (WTE) system. With the equipment now built & secured, the Company is finalizing preparations for installation and expects to commence operations shortly after permitting is secured. An update will be released on the investor call now set for June the 12th after the market closes. Over the next 30 days, the Company will submit filings for air quality, EPA, and business permits across four U.S. states, supporting its strategy to develop a national network of WTE conversion sites. These filings represent the next phase of WEC's operational growth and geographic expansion. Additionally, the Company successfully closed its first WTE-related consulting agreement during the first quarter of 2025, further validating market demand for WEC's expertise and technology-driven waste remediation solutions. Addressing the U.S. Plastic Waste Crisis The United States generates more plastic waste than any other country on earth, producing approximately 42 million metric tons annually-equating to about 130 kilograms (287 pounds) per person each year. This figure is almost double that of China, the second-largest generator of plastic waste globally. Alarmingly, only about 5% to 6% of this plastic waste is recycled annually, with the majority ending up in landfills, incinerated, or polluting the environment. This mismanagement contributes significantly to environmental degradation and poses serious health risks due to microplastic contamination. Waste Energy Corp is committed to tackling this crisis by transforming non-recyclable plastic waste into clean energy and valuable byproducts, thereby reducing landfill dependence and mitigating environmental pollution . 'After years of designing and building a scalable, revenue-focused platform to tackle the U.S. plastic waste crisis, we are now positioned to activate it and begin full-scale operations,' said Scott Gallagher, Chairman and CEO of Waste Energy Corp. 'The equipment for our first waste-to-energy site is now fully secured and built, and we're actively advancing through the regulatory pathways in the four key growth states we've identified. We'll provide a detailed business update during the June 12th shareholder call. We are now entering the execution phase of our business model. Our mission-to divert and convert plastic waste into clean, U.S.-based energy products like low-sulfur diesel and carbon credits-is officially underway. In the second half of 2025, we're targeting the elimination of more than 2 million pounds of plastic waste that would otherwise end up in landfills, while delivering measurable value to shareholders, energy markets, and the communities we serve.' To provide shareholders and prospective investors with a comprehensive business update, Waste Energy Corp will host a live shareholder conference call on Wednesday, June 12, 2025, after the market closes. During the call, management will discuss the progress of its first facility, its permitting efforts, and the Company's outlook for the remainder of 2025.

Waste Energy Corp Files Patent Application to Cut Emissions, Eliminate PFAS, and Maximize Profits with Automated Carbon Credit Optimization
FAIRFIELD, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 25, 2025 / Waste Energy Corp ('Waste Energy' or the 'Company'), (OTCQB:WAST), an emerging waste-to-energy (WTE) company at the forefront of sustainable innovation, dedicated to diverting plastic and tires waste streams from oceans, streams, nature and food supplies, today announced the filing of a patent application for an 'Advanced AI-Powered Emissions Monitoring & Carbon Credits Creation & Optimization System'. Once accepted, the patent pending system will feature PFAS control, automated feedstock monitoring and purity assurance, robust AI-powered emissions monitoring and carbon credit automation & optimization. This breakthrough technology is designed to set a new industry standard in environmental compliance, operational efficiency, and revenue optimization. This patent-pending system will be one of, if not the first system of its kind to integrate AI-driven emissions monitoring with automated feedstock purity assurance and PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) control. This technology ensures that only the purest feedstock enters the waste-to-energy conversion process, reducing operational inefficiencies and maximizing fuel output quality. By using advanced machine learning algorithms, the system can detect and filter harmful contaminants, including PFAS-a group of persistent environmental pollutants linked to significant health and ecological risks. This capability allows Waste Energy Corp to further its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility while maintaining the integrity of its pyrolysis operations. Key Features and Benefits of the Technology: Automated Feedstock Purity Assurance: The system leverages real-time data analysis to automatically verify feedstock purity before it enters the conversion process. This reduces reliance on manual inspections and ensures a consistent, high-quality input stream-enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing downtime due to contamination. Comprehensive PFAS Detection and Control: The technology actively monitors for PFAS and other hazardous materials throughout the feedstock processing cycle. By eliminating these harmful compounds early in the process, the system safeguards environmental health and improves the overall safety of waste-to-energy conversion. Human-Error-Free Carbon Credit Creation & Optimization: Automation removes the need for manual oversight in generating carbon credits, ensuring compliance with international carbon market standards. This streamlined approach guarantees both efficiency and accuracy, turning emissions reductions into financial assets with minimal administrative overhead. Enhanced Emissions Control Through Data Aggregation: The system continuously aggregates data from emissions monitoring sensors, offering real-time insights into environmental performance. By detecting anomalies and trends early, companies can proactively reduce emissions, stay ahead of regulatory requirements, and strengthen their sustainability credentials. Financial and Environmental Value Creation: By optimizing carbon credit generation and improving emissions management, this technology opens up new revenue streams for Waste Energy and similar companies while supporting global decarbonization efforts. Businesses that adopt this system will benefit from cost savings, increased revenue opportunities, regulatory compliance, and enhanced market positioning as sustainability leaders. 'This patent filing represents a pivotal step forward in our mission to deliver cleaner energy solutions,' said Scott Gallagher, CEO of Waste Energy Corp. 'Our AI-powered system is designed not only to monitor emissions in real time but also to actively remove harmful substances like PFAS from the feedstock stream before they enter our machine-an essential breakthrough for environmental protection. By eliminating human error, ensuring feedstock purity, and automating carbon credit generation, we're creating a highly efficient platform that enhances profitability while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability. This technology reflects our dedication to transforming waste into energy responsibly, maximizing both environmental impact and revenue potential for our stakeholders.'
