Development of first US Plastic Conversion Network Facility Enters Final Phase

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 27, 2026 / Clean Vision Corporation (OTCQB:CLNV) ("Clean Vision"), an emerging leader in innovative plastic conversion, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Clean-Seas West Virginia has completed the application process for its Air Quality Permit, a major benchmark for the project.

Development of first US Plastic Conversion Network Facility Enters Final Phase

"Combined with last week's delivery to the site of its first 25 Ton Per Day commercial-scale pyrolysis reactor, development of the project has entered the final stage," according to Dan Bates, CEO of Clean Vision.

"The permitting process is rigorous, and rightfully so," said Bates. "We know that our operations will be stronger for the scrutiny the state Department of Environmental Protection has applied to our application."

The DEP's determination triggers an up to 90 day-statutory review period. During this time, Clean-Seas' development team will continue construction, including installation of the recently delivered reactor and supporting infrastructure. Operational readiness preparations will also accelerate, including the implementation of Environmental Health and Safety protocols and developing coordinated Emergency Response Plans with local, county, and state first responders.

"We're just getting started," said Bates. "The team is ready for this final phase of development, which when complete, will bring approximately 40 high paying, clean energy jobs to the State."

Clean-Seas West Virginia will initially convert up to 50 tons per day of post-use plastic feedstock into precursors for circular plastics and clean fuels including hydrogen when the plant is commissioned later this year.

With $25 million of support from the State of West Virginia, including $15 million of funding through Huntington National Bank, Clean-Seas started construction last year of its first US Plastic Conversion Network facility in Belle, retrofitting the 60,000-square-foot main building and preparing the site to receive core technology manufactured off-site.

Engineering, Procurement and Construction services are being managed by UPS Industrial Services and Middough Engineering.

This initiative underscores Clean-Seas West Virginia's commitment to environmentally responsible energy solutions and economic development in the region. By transforming plastic feedstock into a valuable resource, the facility will play a key role in reducing the environmental impact of plastic pollution while driving green job creation in West Virginia.

Clean-Seas plans to scale operations in West Virginia as high as 200 tons per day, and add additional PCN locations across the US.
