Verde and Ergon Join Forces to Develop Low-Carbon Emulsions for Road Surfaces

Verde Teams Up with Ergon for Sustainable Road Surface Innovations

Verde Resources Inc. (OTCQB: VRDR), a frontrunner in sustainable infrastructure materials, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Ergon Asphalt Emulsions, Inc. This partnership focuses on developing innovative emulsions that are integral to producing low-carbon road surface materials, a significant leap towards sustainable infrastructure solutions.

The journey began in Ergon’s state-of-the-art Paragon Technical Services laboratory, where both companies dedicated their resources to validate this innovative emulsion. The collaborative effort involved meticulously blending a proprietary emulsifying agent with Ergon’s high-performance emulsion base. The result is a unique binder that integrates Verde’s carbon and aggregates into a durable, sustainable material. This material was first put to the test at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Test Track on December 20th, following successful pilot projects on December 4th at Paragon Technical Services and December 18th at Ergon’s Port Birmingham emulsion mill in Alabama.

Eric Bava, Chief Operating Officer of Verde Resources, expressed his enthusiasm about the project, stating, “This marks the first time this proprietary emulsifying agent has been blended with emulsion base asphalt in the United States, and the results exceeded our expectations.” Bava emphasized that the collaboration is a crucial step in transforming America's $165 billion road surfacing industry, highlighting the importance of partnerships with organizations like Ergon for scaling innovative approaches to road surfacing. He noted the relentless attention to detail and technical expertise displayed by their teams, which proved invaluable in the production process.

Larry Tomkins, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Ergon, echoed Bava’s sentiments, stating, “Verde has introduced a unique innovation to the U.S. asphalt industry, and we were eager to be part of this groundbreaking project.” He highlighted the shared commitment between both companies to advance sustainable infrastructure solutions.

This venture aligns perfectly with Verde's broader mission of advancing Net Zero solutions through collaborations with industry leaders such as Ergon. The successful outcome not only underscores Verde's dedication to creating low-carbon materials but also lays the foundation for future innovations in the sustainable construction sector. The innovative emulsion represents a major milestone that could pave the way for more environmentally friendly infrastructure solutions, crucial in a world increasingly focused on sustainability.

As Verde Resources Inc. continues to push the envelope in sustainable building materials, the partnership with Ergon stands as a testament to the power of collaboration in overcoming ecological challenges. This innovation highlights a pathway toward not just meeting, but exceeding the current standards of road surface materials, potentially leading to significant environmental benefits.
