CALGARY — Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. announces that it has been issued a follow-on patent by the Canadian Intellectual Patent Office for the Company’s proprietary asphalt shingle reprocessing technology. The Patent relates to Stage 3 of the reprocessing technology, the asphalt recovery stage, and is expected to remain in force until 2042.

“As a clear first mover in this emerging industry, securing further patents for Northstar’s reprocessing technology is a critical step in securing, reinforcing and sustaining our technological advantage,” commented Aidan Mills, Northstar President & CEO. “The latest patent protects a key part of our recovery process at the heart of our business, just as we prepare to commence commercial production in mid-2025 at our Calgary facility, a significant milestone for the Company. With this additional Canadian patent to protect the core technology of the Company, and additional patents progressing in the US and other international jurisdictions, we are well-positioned to sustain our leading position as the industry continues to develop.”

Northstar received its initial Canadian patent in July 2024 which followed two patents issued in the United States in November 2022 and May 2024.
