New PozGlass™ 100G SCM Receives Breakthrough Test Results;
Offers Eco-Friendly Alternative to Fly Ash Engineered to Help Tackle Climate Change
 
Vancouver, BC, November 9, 2021 – Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PLAN) (“PLAN” or the “Company”), an emerging technology company providing innovative circular solutions and eco-friendly micronized mineral powders for industry and agriculture, is pleased to announce PozGlass™ 100G SCM – the Company’s new and proprietary supplementary cementing material (SCM) made from 100% recycled glass. Having just received breakthrough initial test results, PozGlass 100G SCM is designed to dramatically reduce cement’s carbon footprint while increasing its performance.
PozGlass 100G SCM’s introduction comes on the heels of PLAN’s October 18, 2021 announcement that it successfully completed third party testing of its flagship supplementary cementing material, PozGlass™ SCM, as a superior replacement to fly ash. PozGlass SCM is a mixture of micronized, post-consumer glass and natural pozzolan harvested from PLAN’s Z1 Natural Pozzolan Quarry near Cache Creek, BC. and can be used to replace significant levels of fly ash and Portland Cement, one of the greatest sources for CO2 emissions in the world. Estimates suggest that the concrete industry is responsible for roughly 7% of total global carbon emissions.
Natural pozzolans are prevalent in western North America as a result of volcanic activity, but are generally not found along the eastern seaboard. In an effort to seamlessly gain entry into larger urban markets from coast to coast without requiring natural pozzolan to be shipped and then blended with locally sourced recycled glass, PLAN quietly developed and tested its new version of PozGlass. The name, PozGlass 100G, reflects the fact that this revolutionary SCM uses 100% post-consumer glass which is micronized to a fine powder and permanently sequesters CO2 through proprietary processes.
Post-consumer glass exists as a waste problem in every major city in North America, opening up exponential market potential for PLAN’s technology. Incorporating PozGlass’ post-consumer waste glass formula into concrete as a Portland Cement replacement will help the environment by both reducing the amount of CO2 emissions as well as reducing the amount of waste glass disposed of in landfills. To date, the biggest hindrances to using 100% ground glass as a supplementary cementing material has been its inability to fully mitigate alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) and its lower early strength gains in concrete compared to other pozzolans.
Nine samples of PozGlass 100G SCM, utilizing a 25% replacement of Portland Cement, were exposed to ASTM C1567 Standard Test Method for Determining the Potential Alkali-Silica Reactivity of Combinations of Cementitious Materials and Aggregate (Accelerated Mortar-Bar Method). All nine easily passed the allowable limit of 0.10% mortar bar expansion at 16 days after casting, averaging only 0.05% expansion – or just half of the allowable limit.
“It is well known in the cement industry that one of the biggest challenges with using ground glass in concrete is its inability to pass ASTM test C1567 as a stand-alone pozzolan,” said Steve Harpur, CEO of Progressive Planet. “The fact that our proprietary treatment of post-consumer glass has resulted in exceptional ASR mitigation results is a game-changing achievement. With this technical breakthrough, our next focus is to confirm we can produce PozGlass 100G economically at scale. This is a significant milestone for PLAN.”
In addition, PozGlass 100G SCM samples also passed important testing requirements for 7-day Strength Activity Index (SAI) & water requirement for C618 Class N pozzolan.
“The 7-day SAI values for the treated ground glass samples reported in PozGlass 100G SCM are significantly higher than the values previously obtained in our laboratory for untreated ground glass,” states Dr. Michael Thomas. “Two previous tests on untreated ground glass gave 7-day SAI values of 79% each time, while PozGlass 100G SCM registered a 7-day SAI value of 88.3%.”
Additional testing and optimization will reconvene in the near future to maximize the percentage of Portland Cement which can be replaced with PozGlass 100G SCM.
PLAN continues development work on PozGlass 100G SCM with a focus on:

• Confirming that this product can be produced economically at a commercial scale;
• Maximizing its performance to boost replacement levels in industry;
• Quantifying the carbon sequestration potential of this proprietary product; and
• Seeking grant funding to produce PozGlass 100G at a larger scale.

Vancouver, BC, October 18, 2021 – Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PLAN) (“PLAN” or “Progressive Planet”), an emerging technology company providing innovative circular solutions and earth-friendly micronized minerals that naturally unlock sustainability benefits across the construction and agriculture industries, is pleased to announce excellent results from Phase 2 and the final PozGlass SCM testing completed by third-party C&CS Atlantic under Dr. Michael Thomas’ direction. Dr. Thomas, a professor at the University of New Brunswick, has authored more than 200 technical papers and reports including the book “Supplementary Cementing Materials in Concrete”.
Two different proprietary blends of PozGlass SCM (each containing a different ratio of recovered post-consumer glass and natural pozzolans) were tested in combination with Portland Cement. Final test report results, inclusive of previous announcements released on April 26 and June 23 2021, demonstrated that PozGlass added enhanced compressive strength and durability, excellent chloride permeability (RCP testing), and resistance to acidic soil degradation well within accepted industry guidelines.
 
“Progressive Planet is ecstatic with these test results, as Dr. Thomas’ independent findings help to solidify our plans to commercially launch PozGlass SCM and give us great confidence as we further explore ready-mix and precast concrete supply chain opportunities,” said CEO Steve Harpur. “Our next steps will include identifying and procuring a long-term supply of glass in Western Canada and finding an optimal location that will support a commercial plant build and PozGlass SCM production.
 
Dr. Thomas designed a thorough review program, which tested two blended samples containing PozGlass SCM along with a third individual sample containing only Portland Cement. Two of the mortar mixes substituted 25% of the Portland Cement for PozGlass of an equivalent weight. The third mortar mix (the control mix) contained only Portland Cement.
 
Test results showed the mortar bars produced from the two mortar mixes expanded 0.03% and 0.02% respectively, after six months. Expansion less than 0.05% at six months indicates a mortar with high-level of sulfate resistance (less than 0.10% at six months indicates moderate sulfate
resistance). It should be noted that the control mortar bars, containing only Portland Cement, disintegrated at the 180-day mark, and could not be measured as a result.
 
 
 
Dr. Michael Thomas, who is active on technical committees within the American Concrete Institute (ACI), ASTM, RILEM, and the Canadian Standards Association stated: “The use of 25% of either of the two PozGlass blended pozzolan mixes in combination with a high-C₃A Portland cement is sufficient to meet the requirements of a Type HSb cement (blended cement with high sulfate resistance) and is suitable for use in S-1 exposure (very severe sulphate exposures).”
 
“After 180 days, we have conclusive third-party proof that PozGlass is very effective at resisting degradation in concrete used below ground level in acidic soils,” Harpur added. “We now have the full package — an environmentally friendly and economically attractive solution to fly ash, that also enhances performance. PLAN has just taken a giant step closer toward securing and helping future customers meet their own sustainability targets by reducing the carbon footprint of cement.”
 
PLAN intends to supply the cement industry with PozGlass SCM as a superior replacement to fly ash. Fly ash is created as a by-product of burning coal to make electricity, but all coal fired power plants in Canada are mandated to shut down by December 2029, marking the end of fly ash.
 
PLAN continues work on creating supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) with a focus on:

• Minimizing the carbon footprint of the SCMs we create,
• Utilizing waste materials where possible to create the most sustainable SCMs; and,
• Sequestering CO2 in SCMs to address climate change.

Vancouver, September 07, 2021 – Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PLAN) (“PLAN” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the positive 91-day Resistance to Chloride Ion Penetration (RCP) test results for its PozGlass™ SCM product. The Company is focused on delivering economic and eco-friendly solutions for the cement and concrete industry.
On June 23, 2021, PLAN announced the better-than-expected accelerated-cure RCP test results for PozGlass SCM. The 28-day accelerated-cure test results give an indication of the result expected at 91 days with standard curing. The Company is pleased to announce the 91-day RCP test results of 1035 Coulombs with 25% of Portland cement replaced with PozGlass SCM are identical to those received during the 28-day accelerated-cure test results.
“We believe PozGlass SCM will radically reduce the carbon footprint of cement through every step of the process,” stated Steve Harpur, CEO. “Lower permeability means longer-lasting concrete and less cement powder used in the future, which is key to reducing CO₂ emissions.”
With the confirmation of the results, management remains optimistic that the market potential for the proprietary formulation and process in the blending of natural pozzolans and recovered post-consumer glass could be larger than originally expected.
On or before October 18, 2021, PLAN will be releasing the 6-month sulfate resistance test that began in April of this year. The test is the last remaining concrete durability test underway with C&CS Atlantic and represents another potential market size boost for PozGlass SCM.
Numerous precast and ready-mix concrete applications specify moderate-to-high resistance to sulfate attack and therefore require cement capable of resisting sulfate attack. Preliminary results from sulfate-resistance tests indicate that PozGlass SCM used at a 25% replacement for Portland cement significantly increases resistance to sulfate attack, as shown in the graph below:

Sulfate resistance helps protect against soils or ground waters where sulfate concentrations are higher than normal; often necessary in foundations such as basements and pilings. Sulfate resistant concrete is also widely used for concrete exposed to seawater and salt-water environments, in agriculture for structurally reinforced concrete exposed to manure and/or silage gases, and for concrete applications exposed to municipal sewage and industrial effluent.
PLAN is using the information gathered in these final phases of testing to facilitate early discussions with concrete producers, which has already met with success. The July 15 announcement of an LOI with ZS2 Technologies Ltd. stated PLAN will commence supplying ZS2 Technologies with commercial amounts of SCM product in Q4 2021, ramping up to 10,000 tons annually of Natural Pozzolan from PLAN’s Z1 Natural Pozzolan Quarry as the Company moves towards full-scale commercialization in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest.

Vancouver, September 01, 2021 – Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PLAN) (“PLAN” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it is receiving advisory services and funding of up to $100,000 from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to support the Company’s research and development project to optimize PozGlass™ SCM. The project furthers the Company’s path to commercialization of economic and eco-friendly cement powders to replace Portland cement and fly ash in the production of concrete.
In recent weeks, PLAN has successfully sequestered CO₂ into the post-consumer glass in PozGlass SCM using a proprietary process. Early results show the carbonated glass improves performance and the emissions reduction potential of PozGlass SCM. A US provisional patent application has been filed by PLAN.
“It is exciting that our early efforts to permanently sequester carbon dioxide in glass have been successful,” states Steve Harpur, CEO. “With our NRC IRAP-supported project, we are seeking to further reduce the carbon footprint of PozGlass SCM by converting CO₂ into carbonate, which is permanent carbon sequestration. It is our continued intention to rapidly commercialize PozGlass SCM as a substitute for a significant portion of Portland cement and fly ash used concrete mixes with PozGlass SCM possessing a fraction of the carbon footprint of both Portland cement and fly ash.”
Unlike the production of Portland cement and fly ash, the production of PozGlass SCM does not require high temperature roasting or generate huge amounts of off-gassed CO₂.

In conjunction with this LOI, PLAN has established a concrete research lab at the ZS2 TechCenter in Calgary, Alberta, which will be run by Dr. Roger Mah.
 
“This move to Calgary fulfils our objective to concentrate our applied research efforts in Calgary, where PLAN’s VP of Research and Development, Dr. Roger Mah, and PLAN’s contracted Scientific Advisor, Dr. Doug Brown both reside. Dr. Brown is also Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of ZS2. Dr.  Mah and Dr. Brown completed their Ph.D.’s concurrently at the University of Calgary and both have experience in working with CO₂” stated Steve Harpur, CEO of PLAN.
 
“The technical collaboration between PLAN and ZS2 continues to grow,” commented Scott Jenkins, CEO of ZS2 and Director of PLAN. “The potential to reduce the carbon footprint of innovative cement products is significant with the combination of our mutual research and commercialization to date. ZS2’s growing portfolio of high performance, fire-resistant and sustainable building technologies will be greatly enhanced by our expanding partnership, and we are extremely excited about our shared future potential.”
