Aroot Subsidiary Passes Waste Plastic Recycling Fuel Test by Major Domestic Power Generation Company

Aroot Eco, the recycling-focused subsidiary of Aroot, announced on July 8, 2026, that it has passed the solid recovered fuel (SRF) performance test from a major domestic power generation company. The company expects that, with this technical validation, it will accelerate both the expansion of supply to domestic power plants and its growth in performance.

The test was conducted by one of the five leading power generation companies that operate key power supply hubs in Korea. The evaluation focused on the composition of the SRF samples produced by Aroot Eco. According to the company, its in-house produced SRF met the standards required for alternative fuels to fossil fuels.

Building on the success of this performance test, Aroot Eco plans to begin full-scale supply negotiations with the power generation company and pursue the signing of large-scale supply contracts. The company anticipates that, as the replacement of conventional fossil fuels progresses, the use of SRF will likely increase, leading to a gradual rise in supply volumes in the future.

Aroot Eco has been advancing its waste plastic recycling business while establishing a stable raw material procurement system and has also completed the commercialization of its SRF technology. Since July of last year, the company has started supplying SRF to a power plant near its first factory in Seosan, Chungnam, and has since secured two additional power plants as customers, diversifying its supply base and accumulating technological credibility.

A company representative stated, "Having achieved SRF commercialization in the private market, we have now completed technical validation by a leading domestic power generation company. Since most domestic power plants are operated by the public sector, passing this performance test will serve as an important foundation for entering the large-scale public market."

The representative added, "With the successful completion of the performance test, we expect to achieve meaningful results in the public sector as early as this year. After introducing advanced European recycling facilities, we have continued to enhance our processes to improve production efficiency. We will continue to pursue both the expansion of domestic sales and profitability improvements to drive further performance growth."

By passing SRF performance verification from a key domestic power generation company, Aroot Eco has laid the groundwork for entering the public power generation market and expanding large-scale supply contracts.
