Effective Nov. 5th 2024 the Company's Ticker Symbol has Changed to WAST

FAIRFIELD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2024 / MetaWorks Platforms, Inc. ("MetaWorks" or the "Company"), (OTCQB:WAST), a leader in innovative platform technologies, proudly announces the completion of its rebranding to Waste Energy Corp, reflecting its strategic shift in focus towards becoming a waste-to-energy conversion Company. Effective Nov 5th, 2024, the company's ticker symbol on the OTC Market has changed from MWRK to WAST.

The transformation to Waste Energy Corp underscores the company's pivot from digital platforms to tackling the pressing environmental issue of waste.
