Wahpeton Dakota Developments signs MOU with IQ Waste Solutions for New Clean Waste Processing Facility in Prince Albert

IQ’s waste processing technology provides a clean alternative to traditional high emission waste disposal and processing methods.

PRINCE ALBERT, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA, January 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Wahpeton Dakota Developments and IQ Waste Solutions have signed an MOU to partner on the development of a clean energy waste processing facility. The facility will be used to process local waste streams as a demonstration of their unique Waste-to-Products pyrolysis technology.

IQ’s waste processing technology provides substantial benefits to our society’s traditional high emissions methods of waste disposal. IQ systems are ultra-low emission and are capable of processing and treating some of the most troublesome waste streams while focusing on extracting available products within, such as renewable natural gas, plastics, power, heat and High Density Carbon. IQ’s system is focused on disposing and recycling of the Prince Albert regions waste streams such as sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, plastic waste and other waste streams as needed. The system employs a novel thermal molecular sorting process eliminating the need of mechanical sorting of waste streams. The Prince Albert region was chosen for a demonstration facility due to their existing demand for waste reduction in the region, as well as from northern Saskatchewan.

“This is a very exciting opportunity to invest in a unique approach to waste management and clean energy,” says Robert Fincati, CEO of Wahpeton Developments. “Part of our MOU is the opportunity to take an equity position and participate in the growth of the company on a global scale. We look forward to working with the entire IQ team and bringing this exciting new technology to Saskatchewan.”

Wahpeton will work alongside IQ Waste Solutions to develop the business, starting with the local facility in Prince Albert. “As a company that works to convert underutilized and troublesome waste streams into clean energy and recycled products, sustainability is a key goal for us and working together with a local Indigenous organization is incredibly important,” says Andrew Ardell, Director of IQ Waste Solutions. “Our values concerning the environment
strongly align, and Wahpeton is uniquely positioned to assist us in a number of areas to move this project forward in the Canadian market.”

“Economic development is important to our community but taking care of the land is a key value in our traditions and our culture,” says Chief Waditaka. “It’s great to be able to do both at the same time, and we are pleased to support this initiative that will bring benefits to our community for generations to come.”

IQ Waste Solutions is currently completing financing efforts and manufacturing of the system to be installed in Prince Albert. An initial target for opening of the facility is mid 2022.
