Progressive Planet announces up to $4.6 Million in Non-Dilutive Funding Over 4 Years from SDTC to Build Revolutionary PozGlass Pilot Plant in Kamloops, BC - Progressive Planet
Summary
This funding allows us to innovate, reduce emissions, and create value from post-consumer glass, a material that has been historically misallocated and considered waste, said Steve Harpur, CEO of Progressive Planet. Unlike traditional SCMs such as fly ash, which face dwindling supply as provinces phase out coal-fired power (1,2), PozGlass is made from post-consumer glass primarily sourced from cities, the very places that are the largest consumers of Portland cement. This proximity to raw materials and end-users ensures PozGlass integrates seamlessly into existing cement production processes, offering a scalable and sustainable solution for the industry.This project aligns with Canadas commitment to advancing clean technology and circular economy principles. With partnerships spanning investors, engineers, and construction stakeholders, Progressive Planet is poised to capitalize on this growth while reducing the carbon footprint of one of the worlds most essential industries.The pilot plant is expected to begin operations in October 2025, marking a key step toward scaling PozGlass production and accelerating its adoption across North America and beyond. A number of risks and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including factors beyond the Companys control.
