The $4.4 Billion Opportunity in Shingle Waste
Every year, over 15 million tons of asphalt shingles (those tiles on your roof) —equivalent to 22 million barrels of oil—are discarded in landfills across the United States. These shingles can take up to 500 years to decompose, contributing to long-term environmental pollution. This massive accumulation not only poses ecological concerns but also represents an untapped market estimated at $4.4 billion.
Sky Quarry recognizes the potential in this overlooked waste stream. By focusing on recycling and resource recovery, the company aims to transform the way shingle waste is managed, aligning environmental sustainability with economic opportunity.
Revolutionary ECOSolv Technology
At the heart of Sky Quarry's operations is its proprietary ECOSolv technology. This advanced recycling process is capable of:
Recovering up to 99% of hydrocarbons from shingle waste.
Reclaiming 95% of materials, including crude oil, limestone powder, sand, and fiberglass.
Each ton of processed shingle waste is valued at approximately $295 in recovered materials. The ECOSolv system operates as a closed-loop, nearly zero-waste process, which not only minimizes environmental impact but also reduces operational costs.
As environmental regulations become more stringent—pushing for higher recycling rates and imposing landfill bans—Sky Quarry's technology positions the company to meet growing market demand. Additionally, the ability to charge premium tipping fees enhances their revenue potential.
$SKYQ’s High-Margin Model: Profits from Waste & Sale
Sky Quarry has designed a revenue model that’s as sustainable as it is profitable, tapping into both tipping fees and reclaimed material sales for a high-margin business that’s growing fast.
Tipping Fees: Sky Quarry gets paid to accept shingle waste—an average of $94 per ton, with fees ranging from $45 up to $150 in high-demand areas. In Southern California, where fees hover around $94, and nationally, where they start at $54, this income covers most, if not all, of the company’s processing costs. With an expected annual growth rate of 8% in tipping fees, this revenue stream continues to strengthen. This means that the more waste Sky Quarry accepts, the more it drives profits—turning intake itself into a valuable revenue driver.
Product Sales: Once processed, each ton of shingle waste yields high-demand materials like bitumen, limestone powder, sand, and fiberglass, collectively valued at approximately $295 per ton. With tipping fees often covering the majority of processing expenses, nearly all revenue from these reclaimed materials flows directly to the bottom line, enhancing profitability.
This dual-revenue model has shown impressive results. In 2023, Sky Quarry’s revenue surged by 211%, reaching $50.7 million—growth fueled by strategic acquisitions, operational efficiencies, and the profitability of turning waste into valuable resources. With a model built to scale, Sky Quarry is well-positioned for continued growth in a booming market
Sky Quarry's $70M Bet on Green Energy Dominance
Sky Quarry has made significant investments to bolster its operational capacity:
PR Spring Facility: Spanning 6,000 acres, this facility holds an estimated 180 million barrels of hydrocarbon resources. Plans are underway to escalate the processing capacity to 2,000 barrels per day by 2025.
Eagle Springs Refinery: Acquired to enhance the company's vertical integration, this refinery is valued at over $70 million. It enables Sky Quarry to refine the recovered hydrocarbons, adding further value to their product offerings.
These assets not only increase production capabilities but also solidify Sky Quarry's position in the market as a fully integrated waste management and resource recovery company.
Cashing In on the $25 Billion Carbon Credit Boom
Recycling asphalt shingle waste qualifies for valuable carbon credits by significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This process not only helps mitigate climate change but also plays an essential role in carbon credit systems. By diverting shingle waste from landfills and recovering valuable materials, Sky Quarry contributes to environmental sustainability while also gaining financial benefits.
The carbon credit market is projected to reach up to $25 billion by 2030, presenting a unique opportunity for Sky Quarry to capitalize on this growth. The company's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2034 aligns with global sustainability goals and provides an additional revenue stream through the sale of carbon credits. This integration of environmental stewardship and financial gain positions Sky Quarry favorably within the industry and among eco-conscious investors.
Poised to Dominate the Green Gold Rush in Waste Management
Sky Quarry is scaling its operations through an ambitious expansion strategy. To meet rising demand, the company is setting up modular, self-contained facilities nationwide, specifically targeting high-waste areas where “tipping fees” are highest.
These smaller processing units are designed to capture revenue immediately through regional sales of reclaimed materials and are expected to generate up to $5 million in revenue per facility, with a projected payback period of only two years. This strategic rollout not only enhances Sky Quarry’s reach but also fortifies its position in the sustainable waste management sector, positioning it as the go-to solution as states increasingly ban landfill disposal of shingles
