VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Klean Industries Inc ("Klean") is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Kodexe to further develop and implement the KleanLoop™ DApp Blockchain SAS platform that will be used to tokenize all waste and recyclables for the global marketplace. Both Klean and Kodexe are leaders in their respective fields of business for decades. Under the terms of the partnership Kodexe has become a key shareholder of Klean Industries who has developed the initial concepts for the Patent Pending KleanLoop™ process.

The partnership between the two firms is set to take the Blockchain technology to new heights in the application of the technology to waste recycling and resource recovery. The Minimum Viable Product ("MVP"), which is being developed by the Kodexe’s subsidiary, TdMbA International, is already well underway and the second prototype was completed for beta testing in the second quarter of 2022.

The plan is to implement the fully functioning KleanLoop with Klean Industries’ flagship facility in Boardman, Oregon which will recycle approximately 160 metric tonnes of waste tires per day. When completed this project will be the largest fully continuous tire pyrolysis plant in North America focused on producing high quality Recovered Carbon Black ("rCB") and Recovered Fuel Oil ("rFO"). Both tyre pyrolysis derived products will be re-integrated for reuse directly back into the Carbon Black manufacturing supply chain with one of the world’s largest Carbon Black producers. This project will be the first fully circular tire recycling project in North America, which will be used to set the circular standard in both the rubber and tire manufacturing industry and Carbon Black manufacturing sector.

Both Klean and Kodexe are extremely excited about the KleanLoop™ platform and its ability to create a fully transparent recycling and manufacturing marketplace. The Boardman plant will be the first tire recycling project, for that matter waste processing facility, on the Blockchain. It will feature a fully integrated track and trace program for everything it receives and produces that will cross several supply chains. From scrap tire collection to Recovered Carbon Black sales to the carbon emission offset produced by the project.

“With an increasingly regulated industry, data is the only way we can solve the global waste crisis. The industry needs true and accurate data that we can rely on. It’s critically important that industry becomes more compliant and sustainable, and the KleanLoop™ is the system we need that provides transparency throughout the entire supply chain. We are confident that this innovation is the solution that can and will achieve that”, said Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO of Klean Industries Inc.

“We are very excited about our partnership with Klean Industries, and we share the same values and goals so that together we can make a real difference. Our mission has always been to challenge what is established with new innovations using the digital sector to create transformative “systems change” for sustainability. We believe that digital disruptions, such as the KleanLoop™ blockchain platform offers a key technology solution for solving climate change crisis and to preventing further environmental degradation in a socially responsible society”, said Michael Nilsson Pauli, CEO of Kodexe and Technical Director of KleanLoop.

FRANKFURT/GDANSK (Reuters) -Russia has scrapped a Saturday deadline to resume flows via a major gas supply route to Germany, deepening Europe's difficulties in securing winter fuel, after saying it had found faults in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline during maintenance. Nord Stream 1, which runs under the Baltic Sea, had been due to resume operating at 0100 GMT on Saturday after a three-day halt for maintenance. But Gazprom, the state-controlled firm with a monopoly on Russian gas exports via pipeline, said on Friday it could not safely restart deliveries until it had fixed an oil leak found in a vital turbine.

The Nord Stream 1 pipeline that transports Russian gas to Germany will undergo further maintenance, Gazprom said on Friday after scrapping a Saturday deadline to resume flows, deepening Europe's difficulties in securing fuel. Gazprom was already undergoing maintenance from Aug. 31-Sept. 2, prompting concerns about supply to Europe ahead of the onset of winter if the outage was extended. Russia slashed flows through the pipeline to 40% of capacity in June and to 20% in July.
