What Progressive Planet Solutions does

Progressive Planet Solutions is a vertically integrated Canadian manufacturer of mineral-based products serving agricultural, household, industrial, and cement/construction end markets. Founded in 2018 (per company materials) and headquartered in Kamloops, British Columbia, the company is publicly traded on TSXV (PLAN) and OTCQB (ASHXF). It owns and processes diatomaceous earth, zeolite, and calcium bentonite from proprietary mineral assets, including the Red Lake deposit—one of only two mines worldwide producing red-tinged diatomaceous earth commingled with calcium bentonite.

The company operates three legacy product divisions distributed through 10,000+ retail locations across North America: agricultural products (Stall Dry, Activated Barn Fresh, Red Lake Earth, Z-Lite, DE-Cide), household products (Wundercat cat litter, Diamond Glacier ice melt, Last Crawl insecticide), and industrial products (Can Dry absorbents, Can Blast recycled-glass blasting abrasive). A strategically distinct fourth division—low-carbon cement alternatives—is the principal growth vector. Through its C-Quester Centre of Sustainable Solutions in Calgary, the company has developed PozGlass SCM, Planet LCD Cement (Limestone Calcined Diatomite), and Gladiator SCM—supplementary cementitious materials that replace up to 50% of Portland cement and sequester CO2 into post-consumer glass. Lafarge Canada holds a 10-year offtake for up to 3,500 metric tonnes annually from the Kamloops PozGlass pilot plant.

Revenue is generated through B2B product sales, wholesale distribution to retailers, toll processing and private-label manufacturing for major industry partners, and an emerging licensing/royalty stream on proprietary IP. The company has secured over $8M in non-dilutive government grants (SDTC, BC ICE Fund, NRC IRAP, NGEN, FortisBC) to fund pilot plant development. FY2025 revenue was approximately $19.5M with EBITDA of $3.2M (a 138% YoY increase) and net income of $1.67M—a turnaround from a $0.39M loss in the prior year. Recent quarterly momentum is materially stronger, with Q1 FY2026 revenue up 27% YoY and Q3 FY2026 revenue up 22% YoY.
