ZONE CleanCore Solutions Inc

CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (NYSE American: ZONE) (“CleanCore” or the “Company”), developer of the patented aqueous ozone technology that works as an all-purpose cleaner, today provided a corporate update and announced the appointments of Brent Cox, James M. Grisham, and Larry Goldman to the Company’s Board of Directors.

Douglas T. Moore, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CleanCore, stated, “We are experiencing substantial demand for our Aqueous Ozone solutions, which provide a chemical-free, safe, and effective alternative to traditional cleaning solutions. Our expanding customer base and robust sales pipeline span a diverse range of industries, such as hospitality, hospitals, schools, manufacturing, transportation, and much more. Recent news events have highlighted the dangers of traditional chemical-based cleaning solutions, including Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS), also known as ‘forever chemicals.’ In contrast, aqueous ozone has been proven safe and effective in countless studies. As a result, we believe CleanCore is poised to capture a meaningful share of the global service cleaning market, which is expected to reach $92.7 billion by 2027 according to Report Linker. Aqueous ozone has been recognized as safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other agencies. It has also been granted “GRAS” approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, meaning it is ‘generally recognized as safe.’ It is also compliant with the EPA Organic Program as a natural and effective cleaner and sanitizer, as well as Green Seal® (GS-37) certified. Moreover, testing on a wide range of bacteria and viruses, such as coronavirus, hepatitis, listeria, e-coli, salmonella, staph infection, and more, has shown a 99.9%-99.9999% reduction in pathogen levels, far exceeding comparable chemical-based cleaning solutions. As a result, the demand for our products and services is more pronounced than ever and is expected to rise.”

“We are honored to welcome three accomplished executives to our Board of Directors, to provide guidance on the next phase of our growth as a public company. Each director brings significant expertise and successful track records spanning operations, capital markets, and corporate finance, which will be invaluable in helping accelerate our growth. We intend to leverage each director’s respective industry relationships and experience as we grow both domestically and around the world. Overall, we could not be more excited about the outlook for the business, and we look forward to the contributions of our new board members,” concluded Mr. Moore.
