Arizona Tribune - Clean Vision Secures R&D Permit for West Virginia Facility

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / Clean Vision Corporation (OTCQB:CLNV) ("Clean Vision"), an emerging leader in innovative plastic conversion, is pleased to announce receipt of a permit exclusion for the previously-announced TRE Unit at its wholly owned subsidiary Clean-Seas West Virginia.

The permit exclusion allows Clean-Seas to finalize the installation and launch of the TRE, including connections to utilities and to emissions-control and other environmental, health and safety devices before starting up the reactor. Underthe conditions of the permit exclusion, operations of the TRE will be governed by the same strict protocols and emissions controls as for the full-scale facility.

"This long-awaited Permit Exclusion was one of the last major hurdles in making good on our promises to shareholders, our offtake and feedstock partners, and other stakeholders including our host community," said Clean Vision CEO Dan Bates. "Training new employees and producing Plastic Pyrolysis Oil this Quarter will mark an important milestone toward opening the full facility later this year."

The TRE Unit will process post-use plastic feedstock, including end-of-life material from athletic stadiums, and the Plastic Pyrolysis Oil produced will be sold as a precursor for new plastic product production, Bates said, offsetting the environmental impacts of virgin plastic resin.

"The permit application process is rightfully rigorous," said Bates. "And we look forward to demonstrating the commercial and environmental value of our facility to all stakeholders."

Bates noted that he expects the permit application for the full-scale to be finalized shortly, with commissioning of the commercial scale facility in the second quarter of 2026.

Clean-Seas West Virginia is the first US facility in the Plastic Conversion Network, and will divert 50 tons/day of plastic from landfills and incinerators across the mid-Atlantic region and convert it to high value feedstocks for the circular plastic economy. Phase One of the facility will generate more than 40 new technical and operational jobs in eastern Kanawha County upon commissioning. Clean-Seas also plans to scale operations in West Virginia, and add additional PCN locations across the US.
