Progressive Planet is a Canada-headquartered emerging technology company, which, it says, provides innovative circular solutions and earth-friendly micronized minerals that unlock sustainability benefits across the construction and agriculture industries. The company continues work on creating supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) with a focus on minimizing the carbon footprint of the SCMs we create; utilizing waste materials where possible to create the most sustainable SCMs; and sequestering CO2 in SCMs to address climate change. Its operations currently include: Three natural pozzolan properties in British Columbia (BC), including the flagship Z1 Natural Pozzolan Quarry in Cache Creek and our two pozzolan properties under development - the Z2 Natural Pozzolan property near Falkland and the Heffley Creek Metals and Natural Pozzolan property. A comminution facility in Spallumcheen, BC which is currently producing micronized minerals used by farmers in lieu of chemical fertilizers to promote healthy soils without the addition of chemicals, A research lab in Calgary, Alberta focused on creating SCMs and associated technologies to sequester CO2 in concrete. Progressive Planet signed a supply agreement with ZS2 Technologies in summer, 2021 with the expectation of starting to supply natural pozzolan to ZS2 in 2022. In conjunction with this supply agreement, the firm made an equity investment into ZS2 and has ongoing joint product development in conjunction with ZS2.
