20 March - EcoPlus Technology Licensee
Reaches Fifth Anniversary of Operations
Five Years of Continuous Operations Demonstrate the
Effectiveness of the Technology
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 20, 2007--EcoPlus, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ECPL)--The
first licensee of the EcoPlus technology reports that it has
achieved five years of continuous operations at its commercially
scaled and fully permitted plant in Charlotte, NC. Since February
2002, the plant has processed millions of gallons of liquid
restaurant brown grease into thousands of tons of solid residual
product.
Ralph Rogers, president of EcoPlus noted, “This achievement
demonstrates clearly the capacity and robust nature of our FOG
processing system, and vindicates our plan to distribute the
technology in both the public and private sectors to organizations
looking for a proven solution to brown grease disposal.”
ECPL (www.ecoplusinc.com) has a patent-pending, commercially proven
technology that utilizes an environmentally friendly process for
turning brown grease restaurant refuse into a high quality, solid
fuel product. This product can be used as a coal substitute to
produce power, as an adjunct fuel in waste-to-energy and steam plant
operations and as a fuel for industrial process heat over a broad
range of applications. The option to capture BTUs for energy that is
normally wasted is highly attractive in the tight energy environment
of today.

15 March - Ed Miles addressed an audience
of over 400 government leaders
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 15, 2007--EcoPlus, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ECPL),
Ed Miles, VP of Sales and Marketing for EcoPlus addressed an
audience of over 400 government leaders at a breakfast sponsored by
EcoPlus for Democratic Municipal Officers at the National League of
Cities conference in Washington, DC on March 13. Also addressing
these government leaders were 2008 presidential candidate and
Senator from New York, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Democratic
National Committee Chairman and Past Governor of Vermont, Howard
Dean.
Mr. Miles spoke on problems plaguing our national sewer
infrastructure: impacts from contamination from sewer overflow and
current strategies to handle fats, oils and, grease infiltration
into collection systems. He concluded his address by describing the
EcoPlus waste to energy process for sewer grease.
“I was overwhelmed with the response and interest from the
attendees,” quotes Miles. Additionally, Miles noted, “Municipal
officials are well aware that with landfills refusing to take
grease, intake of this waste has become a major headache for
wastewater plant operators, who are often seen as the last legal
alternative for disposal. But wastewater plants are continuing to
turn away hauled waste due to the costs associated with processing.
Administrators are recognizing that they can’t demand more frequent
servicing and collection of this waste without giving haulers a cost
effective disposal option. EcoPlus presents a strong, alternative
processing program with the benefits of an alternative energy, green
fuel by-product.”
