EXHIBIT 99.1
Loop Industries Announces Completion of Pilot Plant;
Confirms Commercial Scale Production and Purity
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2016) - Loop Industries, Inc. (OTCQB: LLPP), an environmentally responsible manufacturer of Purified Terephthalic Acid ("PTA") and Ethylene Glycol ("EG"), today announced the successful completion of a pilot plant facility as well as positive results from its initial production runs. The pilot plant was constructed to further validate Loop's proprietary depolymerization technology, and serves to showcase the Company's ability to scale production of sustainably produced PTA and EG to commercials levels.
While the Company continues to focus on optimizing the process to increase yield and efficiency, initial production runs using postconsumer waste plastic as feedstock such as discarded water and beverage bottles, have already reached commercial-grade purity. Production capacity of the pilot plant is expected to be approximately 5,000 pounds of chemicals per day.
Daniel Solomita, Loop Chief Executive Officer, commented. "We are excited to now be able to demonstrate our proprietary process at commercial scale to potential partners. The successful completion of the pilot plant is an important milestone in confirming the commercial value of our process. While I'm proud of the work our team has done to bring Loop's unique technology closer to broader commercialization, we fully expect to achieve additional process improvements over the coming weeks and months."
