(\"Northstar\" or the \"Company\"), a\n \n Calgary\n \n -based clean technology company, will be hosting a site opening event, at the location for the development of its first commercial facility for reprocessing asphalt roofing shingles in\n \n Calgary, Alberta\n \n (the \"Empower Calgary Facility\").\n \n \n \n The Empower Calgary Facility is the first facility of its kind to be built in\n \n North America\n \n and this will be the first commercial facility for Northstar.\n \n \n Northstar's proprietary clean technology enables the breakdown of asphalt roofing shingles, the most popular roofing material in\n \n North America\n \n and one of the top 5 largest contributors to construction & demolition (\"C&D\") waste, into its three primary components: liquid asphalt, fiber, and aggregate.\n \n \n The Empower Calgary Facility, operating at full capacity, is expected to divert approximately 40,000 tonnes of asphalt shingles per year away from\n \n Calgary\n \n area landfills, which equates to over 60,000 barrels of oil.\n \n \n Once fully operational, the Empower Calgary Facility is expected to have a carbon footprint 60% lower than the base case of landfill and asphalt replacement with virgin production.\n \n \n The Company intends to make the call to\n \n Calgary\n \n and surrounding area householders to \"Make sure your contractors are bringing all their roof shingles to Northstar\" starting in Q1/Q2 2024.\n \n \n Northstar was granted\n \n $7.088M\n \n from Emissions Reduction Alberta (\"ERA\") in its Circular Economy Challenge earlier this year. The Company was awarded 100% of its request, which demonstrates significant provincial support for our project and our clean technology.\n \n \n ...
