Midland Waste-to-Energy Facility Nears Launch with Key Offtake and Feedstock Agreements
Commercial Waste-to-Fuel Deployment
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.”

Build Bankable Waste-to-Fuel Projects with Klean Industries
The Midland facility represents a critical milestone for the industry: waste-to-energy is moving from concept to fully commercialized infrastructure.
Recent developments confirm:
- Commissioning scheduled for May 15, 2026
- Secured offtake agreements for recovered steel and tire-derived oil (TDO)
- New feedstock contracts ensuring full operational supply capacity
- Initial processing capacity of 15 tons per day, expanding to 30 TPD
This highlights a key industry shift: projects are no longer limited by technology—they are validated by commercial contracts.
However, success depends on executing all three pillars simultaneously:
- Feedstock security
- Product offtake
- Technology reliability
Klean Industries delivers fully integrated solutions that address each of these:
- Proven tire and plastic pyrolysis systems producing consistent, high-quality outputs
- Established pathways for monetizing fuel, carbon black, and recovered materials
- Integrated project development from feedstock sourcing to offtake agreements
- Expertise in scaling projects from pilot to commercial deployment
- Track record in fixing underperforming or stalled waste-to-energy facilities
As more projects reach commercialization, the competitive advantage will belong to those who can deliver: bankable, scalable, and fully integrated waste-to-fuel systems
