We are pleased to sign this MOU and we look forward to working with PlasCred and combining CN's best in class logistics team with their mission." stated Buck Rogers, Vice-President, Petroleum and Chemicals of CN.
Collaborative Scope:
- The MOU formalizes a partnership to evaluate the feasibility of transporting at least 300,000 kilograms of mixed waste plastics and 2,000 barrels per day of liquid product via CN's rail network.
- The MOU includes the proposed construction of PlasCred's initial Maximus plant at CN's Scotford Yard. This plan is contingent on the progress and outcome of ongoing lease negotiations.
