Carbonxt Group (ASX:CG1) has commenced the delivery of additional Powder Activated Carbon (PAC) volumes to Reworld from its Black Birch facility in Swainsboro, Georgia.
This marks a critical milestone in the company’s previously announced contract extension with Reworld, , a global leader in sustainable waste solutions, which now encompasses a larger portion of their PAC supply for use in 17 waste-to-energy plants across the US.
The PAC, manufactured at Carbonxt’s Black Birch plant, is a key component in Reworld’s efforts to meet stringent mercury, dioxin, and furan emission regulations while supporting their broader sustainability goals.
The additional PAC deliveries form part of Carbonxt’s four-year, $24 million contract extension with Reworld, with first shipments completed in line with the planned October commencement date.
A key decision factor for Reworld in extending its contract was the sustainable nature of Carbonxt’s PAC products, which aligns strategically with Reworld’s move away from fossil fuels and its focus and commitment to advancing zero waste initiatives and meeting its sustainability objectives.
The contract is valued at around $6 million annually, with the additional volume delivery representing a significant scale-up for Carbonxt’s operations.
The company has optimised the Black Birch facility to handle the increased demand, implementing new efficiencies and ensuring a consistent, high-quality PAC supply to support Reworld’s emission control systems.
Update on Business and Manufacturing Operations Post-Hurricanes Helene and Milton
Carbonxt is also pleased to report that despite facing two recent major weather events, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, the company’s Black Birch manufacturing facility has resumed full operations with no significant damage.
The plant experienced a short outage during the hurricances, however, there was no long-term impact on production capabilities or the integrity of the facility. Thanks to prompt recovery efforts and robust contingency planning, the facility was back online swiftly, allowing Carbonxt to continue fulfilling its delivery obligations with minimal disruption.
As part of its long-term collaboration, Carbonxt will continue to work with Reworld through their Preferred Supplier Program and in joint sustainability initiatives, including the development and acquisition of renewable energy credits.
“We are thrilled to have successfully ramped up production at Black Birch and to now be delivering the increased PAC volumes to Reworld,” Managing Director, Warren Murphy, said.
“This contract underscores the strength of our renewable PAC products and the trust that Reworld has placed in our capabilities. We look forward to continuing our partnership as a key supplier of PAC product to assist Reworld in meeting their emissions targets and achieving their long-term sustainability objectives.”
