WINDSOR, Ontario, March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEXE Innovations Inc. ("NEXE", the "Company", “we” or “our”) (TSX.V: NEXE) (Frankfurt: NX5) (OTC: NEXNF), a compostable and innovative materials company, is pleased to announce the delivery of seven different SKUs for EKOCUPS, further to our previously announced partnership with EKOCUPS. To date, we have delivered over 500,000 pods to EKOCUPS. EKOCUPS ( https://ekocups.com/ ) is a well-established company based in the U.S. that sells its coffee products online, and it is a high-volume seller through Amazon.

In our view, this order highlights that our revenues are expected to be recurring and durable as we continue to build traction with our partners. Our partners have provided positive feedback, and their customers appear to be choosing to transition to an eco-friendly coffee pod. We believe the NEXE BPI-certified compostable coffee pod is providing a competitive alternative that is meeting consumers’ needs.

“We are excited with the traction we are gaining with our partners and expect this will continue to build over time,” said Ash Guglani, President of NEXE. “ In parallel, we are also working on strategies to gain market share in one of the largest single-serve markets, the U.S. Currently the single-serve U.S. market is expected to grow at almost twice the rate of the overall coffee market. ¹ We expect to gain market share with our competitive alternative, the NEXE BPI-certified compostable coffee pod.”

U.S. Strategy

NEXE believes it has developed a sustainable solution for the coffee industry that offers the convenience of a single-serve option without significantly higher switching costs. As the U.S. is a key region that NEXE is focused on, we have been actively working on our U.S. strategy to gain traction, while managing potential geopolitical and currency risks. The Company began shaping its U.S. approach prior to the recent tariff discussions, positioning itself to adapt to evolving conditions. We are exploring various strategic options, including licensing our technology to a U.S. partner or entering a strategic joint venture with a coffee company with expertise in the single-serve market. We are engaged in conversations and will provide updates as our plans evolve.
