WEST LAKE VILLAGE, CA, May 10, 1999 -- Marvin Mears, President and CEO of Environmental Products & Technologies Corporation announced today that during the week of May 3, the Company hosted a Canadian delegation affiliated with 62 First Nation tribes in Manitoba, and linked to about 600 tribes in central and western Canada.

Gary Bear, Band Councillor for Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, said he sees "… a lot of potential" for EPTC's Closed-loop Waste Management System, from animal wastes, particularly their prize herd of bison, to an alternative for municipal waste sewer systems.

"We are part of Mother Earth and have always practiced sustainable development… and with the government's environmentally-friendly policy trend, [EPTC's system] is compatible with our philosophy and is the right way to go" said Jim Bear, Political Advisor, Southeast Assembly of First Nations.

McLeod Fiddler, First Nations consultant, has instituted a construction and architectural consortium for First Nations. He says "We will make it work for human waste applications; up North it's a big problem with contaminated waterways and lakes."

All three support the system's introduction into Canada and recognize EPTC's approach as a positive economic and environmental impact for tribal members. "We are pleased with the enthusiastic response of the First Nations, and we look forward to working with our new Canadian distributor and tribal leaders in providing cost-effective solutions to hard-pressing environmental problems," said Mears.

EPTC's Closed Loop Waste Management System, converts solid animal waste into commercial, pathogen free, nutrient rich, soil-building medium and converts liquid waste into a non-potable water to be used in the farmer's fields. Additionally, EPTC's patented co-generation system converts methane gas into electricity, which can be used to offset a portion of the farm's electric costs, with any excess being sold to the local power company.

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