Northstar Clean Technologies Secures New Patent for Innovative Asphalt Shingle Recycling Process
On August 27, 2026, Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) announced a significant advancement in sustainable material recovery with the issuance of a new patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This patent pertains to the company's proprietary technology designed specifically for the reprocessing of asphalt shingles, marking an important step forward in helping to mitigate landfill waste while providing high-quality materials for construction and manufacturing.
With this issuance, Northstar gains its fourth patent related to its innovative asphalt reprocessing methods, underlining its commitment to intellectual property development in a sector driven by sustainability. Aidan Mills, the company’s President and CEO, expressed the importance of this patent, stating that it not only enhances the technical protection of their core processes but also reinforces Northstar’s mission to recover valuable materials that would typically end up in landfills.
The patented technology focuses particularly on aggregate recovery. Northstar aims to extract essential materials from used asphalt shingles, including liquid asphalt, limestone, and fibrous components. This process contributes to the circular economy by reducing the demand for new materials and promoting the reuse of existing resources. The company's first commercial facility, located in Calgary, Alberta, is designed to scale up these processes for broader use across North America.

Since then, the company has successfully expanded its intellectual property rights in both the United States and Canada, showcasing its ongoing dedication to advancements in asphalt shingle recycling technology. The focus on sustainability is particularly relevant, as industries seek alternative sources of materials that support their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) objectives. This patent will help Northstar strengthen its position in the market, allowing it to provide eco-friendly solutions that align with the growing demand for sustainable practices.
Additionally, Northstar is actively pursuing further patent protection, emphasizing its goal to lead the asphalt shingle recycling sector beyond North America. The company’s strategic vision aligns with global environmental goals and demonstrates a proactive approach to handling waste in a responsible manner.
As they continue to innovate and strengthen their technology portfolio, Northstar remains dedicated to not only meeting but exceeding the sustainability goals of its clients, fostering partnerships that further the cause of environmental stewardship.
