Exhibit 99.1
Letter to Plastic2Oil Stockholders from Richard Heddle, Chief Executive Officer
NIAGARA FALLS, NY, September 15, 2015 (GLOBENEWSWIRE)
To our valued Plastic2Oil, Inc. (PTOI) stockholders:
As we head into the fall, I want to share with you a number of important updates concerning Plastic2Oil. Before doing so, I want to say that I appreciate the consistent outreach to the Company and the support we get from stockholders as we move forward with our strategic plan to sell Plastic2OilÒ processors and license Plastic2OilÒ technology in collaboration with several venture partners.
Madison County, NY Project
First, we are happy to announce that one of the projects we are considering for the Northeastern U.S. region is with Madison County, New York. Together with EcoNavigation (“EcoNav”), we are currently working to complete a deal that may provide for the sale and installation of up to six processors in Madison County. The project is subject to EcoNav obtaining suitable financing, which is presently in the final stages.
You might be interested to know that earlier this year, we received a letter from Madison County to Plastic2Oil, which states in relevant part, “Madison County has long been aware of the P2O technology and is excited to see a project established at the ARE (Agriculture and Renewal Energy) Park, as it is consistent [with] our concept and goals of future projects.”
In addition, we remain optimistic about negotiations surrounding several additional potential projects, each of which could lead to the sale or licensing and installation of several processors. Due to the size and scope of the potential projects, the task of due diligence is extremely robust. We are, however, making measurable progress but, of course, there can be no assurances that these potential projects will be completed. The scope of work we are doing with EcoNav has expanded beyond the initial deal, which we announced several months ago, and we will work with EcoNav to amend our agreements as necessary to accommodate the further opportunities.
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
It was our expectation earlier in the year to consummate one of these deals before the fall and to then hold our Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). However, we will be temporarily postponing our AGM until we are in the closing stages of a deal in order to minimize distractions and prudently manage our working capital.
Infrastructure Improvements
Over the past few months we have invested into infrastructure upgrades and repairs in order to increase support for Processor #3, e.g. “our showcase processor used to demonstrate P2O capabilities to potential customers.” Our focus has been the main plant and surrounding framework, the chiller and the laboratory. We rebuilt the laboratory (“lab”) to enable high volume testing of plastics, used oils and fuels. Our lab equipment now includes: Gas Chromatographs, an Electron Capture Detector for used oil testing, an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer for used oil metals testing, automatic flash and pour point testers, distillation equipment, sulfur and silicon testing, and all other relevant support equipment. We follow accepted industry testing standards, including ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), IP (Ingress Protection), and others. Our lab staff is skilled in hydrocarbon-related quality control, and the equipment has been calibrated after being idle for two years.
Recent Press
Our Company was recently mentioned in a press release by Future Market Insights and was referred to as a “key player in the United States plastic-to-fuel market.”
Here is a link to the press release:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/02/ny-...SW20150602
We continue to make progress on our main objective of selling Plastic2Oil processors, which we expect to result in significant revenues for the Company. I remain committed to this objective and work diligently on this, as do our staff, partners and advisors.
I look forward to issuing another update as soon as material developments occur, and I’d like to again thank our stockholders for their support and input with respect to our operations and growth strategy.
Sincerely,
Richard Heddle
Chief Executive Officer
