Management Outlines Second Half 2026 Operating Plan, New Revenue Initiatives and September Commissioning Target During Investor Update Call
MIDLAND, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2026 / Waste Energy Corp. (OTC PINK:WAST) ("WEC" or the "Company"), a waste-to-energy company focused on transforming waste tires and plastics into valuable energy products, today announced its plans to regain SEC reporting compliance by July 15th and has reset its waste conversion system commissioning date to Sept. 15th.
During the investor update call on June 25th (Replay Link Here) management outlined its operating priorities for the second half of 2026, reaffirming that regaining full SEC reporting compliance remains the Company's highest corporate priority while continuing to advance construction, commissioning, and revenue-generating initiatives at its Midland facility.
"Our objective is straightforward," said Scott Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Waste Energy Corp. "First, we intend to become current with our SEC reporting obligations. Second, we intend to apply to return to the OTCQB. At the same time, we are focused on completing the final work necessary to commission our first waste conversion system while expanding new revenue-generating opportunities that strengthen the long-term economics of our business."
Management stated that, working with its new independent registered public accounting firm, M&K CPAs, PLLC, the Company continues to target becoming current with its SEC reporting obligations on or before July 15, 2026. Following completion of its SEC filings, the Company intends to apply to return to the OTCQB marketplace.
The Company also announced that, subject to completion of its SEC reporting objectives, final engineering confirmation, and contractor scheduling, it is currently targeting commissioning of its first commercial waste conversion system on or around September 15, 2026.
While continuing to advance final construction and commissioning activities, Waste Energy is also expanding its operational platform through new revenue initiatives designed to monetize its growing feedstock inventory before commercial waste conversion operations begin. The Company noted that it has accumulated sufficient feedstock inventory for approximately the first month of planned operations and expects to begin additional tire processing activities in the near term as part of its broader revenue strategy.
Management also provided an update on WEFuel, the Company's research and development initiative focused on evaluating technologies capable of upgrading tire-derived oil into a higher-value transportation fuel. While technical details remain confidential as the Company evaluates potential intellectual property opportunities, management believes the initiative represents an important component of Waste Energy's long-term strategy to maximize the value of each waste tire processed.
"The global waste tire market represents a significant long-term opportunity for us," Gallagher added. "Every year, millions of waste tires require environmentally responsible disposal, yet each tire also contains valuable materials that can potentially be converted into fuel, recovered steel, carbon products, and other marketable commodities. Our strategy is to build a scalable platform capable of generating multiple revenue streams from that waste while helping address a meaningful environmental challenge."
Management concluded the presentation by outlining its principal objectives for the balance of 2026:
Become current with SEC reporting obligations.
Apply to return to the OTCQB marketplace.
Complete final construction and commissioning activities at the Midland facility.
Expand revenue-generating feedstock preparation and material recovery operations.
Continue advancing the WEFuel research and development program.
Build a disciplined operating platform capable of supporting long-term growth.
