Waste Energy has taken a significant step toward the commissioning of its Midland, Texas facility by securing key commercial agreements for recovered steel and tyre-derived oil (TDO), alongside additional feedstock supply agreements to support full-scale operations
Waste Energy’s first commercial waste conversion system, a 15-ton-per-day (TPD) facility, remains on track for commissioning on 15 May 2026. The newly signed agreements establish potential commercial pathways for two primary output streams, recovered steel and TDO, pending validation through initial production runs and laboratory analysis.
In parallel, Waste Energy has strengthened its inbound supply chain by entering into multiple feedstock agreements with regional partners, including tyre suppliers, recyclers and collection companies. These agreements are expected to provide sufficient material to support operations at full capacity, including a planned expansion to 30 TPD.
“These agreements are important because they help validate both sides of our business model,” said Scott Gallagher, Chairman and CEO of Waste Energy Corp. “We are not only securing the waste tyres needed to operate our system, but we are also building commercial relationships for the products we create. While the steel and oil offtake arrangements remain subject to first-run lab results and product specifications, we believe these discussions demonstrate meaningful commercial demand for our outputs. As we approach commissioning, these agreements further demonstrate that our Midland facility is moving closer to becoming a fully integrated operating business with multiple revenue streams.”
Beyond commercial progress, Waste Energy is also contributing to regional environmental initiatives. The company is participating in the Basin Beautification Project, accepting waste tyres collected through local clean-up efforts to divert them from illegal dumping sites and landfills. A second Basin Action Day is scheduled for 11 April 2026, focusing on litter and waste removal across Midland and surrounding areas.
Once fully operational, the Waste Tyres Midland facility is expected to process more than 100,000 waste tyres annually, converting them into valuable outputs including tyre-derived oil, recovered steel, recovered carbon black, and syngas. “Our goal has always been to build a scalable model where we can secure waste supply, convert it into useful products and establish local or regional buyers for those products,” Gallagher added. “We believe these agreements are another important step towards transitioning Waste Energy Corp. into a revenue-generating clean-energy platform.”
