Waste Energy Advances Two Strategic Expansion Initiatives as Company Builds Larger Waste Infrastructure Platform
Waste Energy outlines a potential $1.2 million tire-processing acquisition and confirms its planned Midland, Texas campus expansion is progressing on schedule.
Rhea-AI Summary
Waste Energy Corp (WAST) has signed a non-binding LOI to potentially acquire an established tire processing operation for approximately $1.2 million, while also advancing expansion of its flagship Midland, Texas waste conversion campus.
The contemplated acquisition would include an approximately 10-acre industrial property and related operating assets, with Waste Energy owning 51% of the acquisition entity. Based on preliminary plans, the company believes the facility could eventually process about 3 million to 5 million tires annually and generate approximately $3 million to $5 million in annual revenue if the deal closes and anticipated processing levels are achieved.
The LOI does not obligate either party to complete the transaction, and there is no assurance it will close. In parallel, the previously announced Midland campus expansion remains on track and is expected to substantially increase the site’s footprint for waste processing, tire handling and future conversion operations, supporting Waste Energy’s broader scale-focused growth strategy.

MIDLAND, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 21, 2026 / Waste Energy Corp. (OTCID:WAST) ("Waste Energy," "WEC" or the "Company"), an emerging waste-to-energy and environmental infrastructure company, today provided an update on two strategic initiatives that could significantly expand the Company's operating footprint and future revenue platform.
Waste Energy has entered into a signed non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") relating to the potential acquisition of an established tire processing operation and associated real estate and operating assets.
The contemplated transaction has a proposed purchase price of approximately
Based upon preliminary operating plans and information currently available to management, WEC believes the operation could have the potential to process approximately 3 million to 5 million tires annually and generate approximately
The LOI is expressly non-binding with respect to completion of the acquisition, and there can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be executed or that the proposed transaction will close. The parties have entered a period of due diligence, financing and definitive-document negotiations before any binding acquisition obligation would arise.
"Opportunities of this potential scale are exactly why we have remained focused on building Waste Energy as an environmental infrastructure company rather than around a single facility or technology," said Scott Gallagher, Chairman and CEO of Waste Energy Corp. "If completed, this transaction could significantly increase the number of tires moving through the WEC platform and create another meaningful source of operating revenue."
Because of the potential materiality of the transaction and the number of parties involved in the process, Waste Energy determined that disclosure of the signed LOI was appropriate for its shareholders.
To protect the transaction while negotiations and due diligence continue, WEC is not identifying the business, its location or other information that could reasonably identify the proposed acquisition target.
The Company also does not intend to provide additional interim commentary regarding the proposed acquisition. WEC expects its next announcement concerning the transaction to occur when definitive closing documents have been executed or if the Company determines that it will not proceed with the acquisition.
Midland Expansion Remains on Track
At the same time, Waste Energy continues to advance its previously announced expansion of the Company's flagship Midland, Texas waste conversion campus.
The Company remains on track to close the previously announced expansion transaction, which is expected to substantially increase the physical footprint available for WEC's waste processing, tire handling and future conversion operations.
Waste Energy expects to provide shareholders with additional information regarding the expanded Midland campus after the transaction has closed.
"Our strategy continues to come together around scale," Gallagher added. "We are advancing our Midland operations while simultaneously pursuing opportunities that can add real estate, processing capacity, operating infrastructure and revenue to the WEC platform. We believe these initiatives, if successfully completed, can move Waste Energy into a substantially larger phase of its development."
Waste Energy continues to advance the final commissioning of its initial waste conversion system at Midland as the Company works toward expanded commercial operations and evaluates additional opportunities that complement its waste-processing and resource-recovery strategy.
