Re: CleanCore Solutions, Inc.

Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

Filed February 23, 2023

File No. 333-274928

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We hereby submit the responses of CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in the Staff’s letter, dated March 6, 2024, providing the Staff’s comments with respect to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).

For the convenience of the Staff, each of the Staff’s comments is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this letter to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed February 23, 2023

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, page

1. We note your decrease in revenue of 56.79% was primarily due to decreases in the volume of products sold to your largest customers, due to external factors that impacted their number of purchases, offset by increases in product prices. We also note this decrease was larger than the 35.2% first quarter decline in revenues. Please revise your disclosure to fully describe in further detail the external factors that impacted the number of purchases made by your largest customers. Please separately discuss your largest customers. In this regard, for example, we note in your discussion of full year 2023 compared to full year 2022 a reference to the insolvency of a distributor that accounted for 10% of total revenue.

Response: We have revised the Registration Statement in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

2. We note increases in product prices had a significant impact on gross margin, increasing from 27.30% to 51.32%. Please revise your disclosure to discuss in further detail the increase in prices given the significant impact. For example, identify the specific products that experienced a price increase, the timing of the price increases, and the approximate percentage of the price increases. In addition, please revise your disclosure to separately quantify the impact to revenue from the decrease in volume versus the increase in prices.

Response: We have revised the Registration Statement in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

3. You disclose, in part, for the six months ended December 31, 2023, our net loss of $782,093 and a decrease in inventory of $91,874 [...] were the primary drivers of net cash used in operating activities. We note, however, that inventory increased during that period. Please correct your reference and also describe the reason for the increase in inventory. In addition, we note inventory is almost 50% of total current assets and there is greater than one year's worth of inventory based upon the amount of cost of sales for the most recent interim period. Please discuss the approximate duration it will take you to use the $506,248 in parts and $250,698 in finished goods as of December 31, 2023.

Response: We have revised the Registration Statement in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

Principal Stockholders, page 63

4. We note your disclosure that Mr. Clayton Adams has the right to acquire 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock within 60 days through the exercise of vested stock options, which would result in Mr. Adams owning 93.02% of the Class A Common Stock and 55.34% of total voting power in the company prior to the offering. Please revise your disclosure throughout the registration statement to note that while Mr. Atkinson currently owns 100% of the Class A Common Stock outstanding and will control approximately 64% of the total voting power of the company post-offering, Mr. Adams would control approximately 63% of the company's Class A Common Stock and 54% of the voting control of the company post-offering if he were to exercise his vested stock options.

Response: We have revised the Registration Statement in accordance with the Staff’s comment.
