What Earth Alive Clean Technologies does
Earth Alive Clean Technologies Inc. is a Montréal-headquartered biotechnology company that develops and commercializes microbial-based products across three verticals: soil regeneration, dust suppression, and industrial bio-lubrication. Its core technology platform, the Soil First Platform developed from research begun in 2005, leverages beneficial bacteria, algae, and fungi (including patented strains in Soil Activator™) to improve nutrient availability, water retention, and soil structure in agricultural applications, while its patented ea1™ biosurfactant technology delivers the only BNQ-certified 100% organic dust suppressant for mining haul roads and infrastructure. The product portfolio includes the Soil Activator™ biofertilizer plus complementary ocean-based amendments (Wave™, Fish™, Alga™, Mineralized Seaweed™), ea1™ for mining and road dust control, and the Interlube range of biodegradable industrial lubricants acquired in February 2024.
The company sells one-time product units through a hybrid model combining direct regional sales (USA/Canada, Europe, biolubricants) with an international distributor/agent/dealer network covering North America, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products are certified organic by ECOCERT, OMRI, and Control Union, and the company has documented field yield improvements of 10–86% across multiple crop types and geographies. Earth Alive is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (ticker EAC) and the CNSX.
The company's financial position is distressed: in September 2024 it disclosed non-filing of Q2 2024 financials and signed CAD 650,000 of insider loans at 15% interest, on October 22, 2024 it filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) with CAD 1.72M of court-approved interim financing, the TSXV issued a cease trade order, and in January 2025 it announced a sale transaction to insider-promoted 9530-8086 Québec Inc. that would cancel existing equity and transfer control to existing management and a director.
