WEST LAKE VILLAGE, CA, February 16, 1999 -- Over 100,000 visitors, farmers, and agricultural buyers attended the 32nd Annual California Farm Equipment Show & International Exposition, February 9 - 11, where Environmental Products & Technologies Corporation's (OTC Bulletin Board: EPTC) proprietary Bioreactor was introduced to the dairy, agricultural, ranch and specialized construction industries. The Bioreactor is the core of the company's Closed-loop Waste Management System for the amelioration of agricultural waste.

EPTC's Bioreactor can be installed on-site and sized to the volume of the waste stream. The system converts animal waste into a stable, mature end-product compost within 3 days, versus a process time of 90 to 120 days for typical systems. The EPTC system kills all pathogens and weed seeds, processes gases, and eliminates odors. Additionally, EPTC's patented cogeneration system converts methane gas derived from the waste stream into electricity, which can be used to offset a portion of a farm's electrical costs, with excess power being sold to the local grid.

The California Farm Equipment Show and International Exposition is the world's largest showcase of specialized farm products and equipment. "The California Farm Equipment Show was the right time and place for the introduction of EPTC's full-scale Bioreactor as a rapid, cost-effective solution to a problem that is urgent and widespread," said Marvin Mears, EPTC's president and chief executive officer. Mears indicated that well over a hundred dairymen visited the company's demonstration booth, prompted by the urgency of the problem and the need to implement programs to meet current and proposed regulatory requirements.

In central California alone, the region's 1,600 dairies produce more waste than a city of 21 million people. The Los Angeles Times, in a February 14, 1999 article, pointed out how environmental concerns are standing in the way of a much-needed, responsive and responsible expansion of the California dairy industry. The article stated, "[The inspectors'] job is especially tough in Chino Valley, where the nation's largest concentration of dairy cows -- more than 300,000 -- is packed onto 17,000 acres of the San Bernardino dairy preserve.'' According to the article, herds currently averaging 750 milking cows, have tripled in size since 1972, making the preserve a hotbed of environmental problems and urban-rural clashes. "In summer, residents of apartment complexes that abut dairy farms complain about smells, flies and dust; and when it rains, manure-laden runoff rushes across their driveways." Nearby Orange County water supplies are also threatened.

According to Mears, EPTC will use its scheduled appearance at a seminar on agricultural waste management at the Agricultural Tech Center in Tulare in late March to launch a West Coast educational and marketing seminar series for dairy farmers, environmentally concerned groups, government regulators and farmers engaged in high-density animal husbandry. The company plans to host its first series of symposia and seminars in Chino, Calif. While additional seminars are scheduled for the Tulare area in California's Central Valley, the company also expects to continue its presentations in the dairy farming areas of Oregon, Washington, and Utah.

These seminars and symposia will introduce EPTC's Closed-loop Waste Management System concept as a cost-effective solution for many of the environmental problems associated with the operation of dairy farms. Mears stated, "To be an environmentally responsible company and an economic success, EPTC must invest in educating the marketplace. We must also work with various contingencies toward solutions that result in a peaceful co-existence of business and the environment. Our goal is to be a catalyst for proactive, economically sound and sociologically acceptable solutions for agriculture and related industries,'' Mears said.

Environmental Products & Technologies Corporation is focused on solving environmental problems while enhancing the productivity of domestic farming and large livestock-raising operations.
