Arizona Tribune - Waste Energy Shifts Focus to Revenue Generation as Midland Operations Advance Toward Commissioning

MIDLAND, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2026 / Waste Energy Corp. (WAST) ("WEC" or the "Company"), a waste-to-energy company focused on converting waste tires and other non-recyclable materials into valuable products, today that it will host an investor update call on June 25, 2026 from its Midland, Texas operating facility to provide shareholders with management's operating plan for the second half of 2026, including a revised commissioning schedule, new revenue generation initiatives, and the Company's outlook for commercial operations.

Management believes the Company is entering a significant new phase in its development as it simultaneously advances final construction activities, equipment integration, feedstock preparation, commissioning readiness, and new revenue-generating initiatives. Management expects these efforts to define the Company's operational focus throughout the second half of 2026 as Waste Energy continues progressing toward commercial operations.

The Company currently has accumulated a considerable stockpile of waste tires on site in Midland. These tires will serve as feedstock for future waste conversion activities while also supporting newly launched tire preparation and material recovery initiatives designed to generate revenue prior to commencement of full waste conversion operations.

As part of its broader operational strategy, the Company recently executed a Letter of Intent and purchased specialized tire processing equipment designed to support both new revenue-generating activities and feedstock preparation efforts. Management expects these initiatives to begin generating revenue as early as June 2026 while simultaneously preparing tire inventory for future waste conversion operations. The Company believes this process has the potential to improve feedstock quality, increase operational efficiency, and enhance the overall economics of its waste conversion platform while creating additional revenue opportunities prior to full commissioning.

"The first half of 2026 was focused on deploying equipment, developing our Midland facility, securing feedstock, and establishing the operational foundation of the business," said Scott Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Waste Energy Corp. "As we move into the second half of the year, our priorities are clear: complete the final stages of construction and commissioning of our first waste conversion system while simultaneously expanding revenue-generating activities across our platform. We believe these parallel initiatives position the Company to make meaningful progress toward commercial operations."

Gallagher continued, "During our June 25 investor call, we will provide shareholders with a revised commissioning schedule for our Midland facility, discuss revenue-generating activities that are expected to commence this month, and present management's operating plan for the balance of 2026. The call will be conducted from our Midland site and is intended to provide investors with a comprehensive update on our progress toward commissioning, revenue generation, and commercial operations."

Management believes the combination of continued commissioning progress, feedstock preparation activities, and the launch of new revenue-generating initiatives has the potential to make the second half of 2026 a transformational period in the Company's development.

The Company also announced that it has engaged M&K CPAS, PLLC of Houston, Texas as its new independent registered public accounting firm. M&K is an established PCAOB-registered accounting firm with nearly twenty years of experience serving public company clients. M&K is a significant upgrade for Waste Energy as they rank in the top firms in the US for both PCAOB public company completed audits and NASDAQ clients.

Management believes the engagement of M&K represents an important step toward returning to fully reporting status and pursuing its longer-term objective of regaining qualification for the OTCQB marketplace and beyond. While completing the audit process remains an important corporate objective, management emphasized that its primary operational focus remains centered on revenue generation, feedstock preparation, commissioning, and commencement of commercial operations.

Additional details regarding participation in the shareholder call will be announced in the coming weeks.
