GARY M. PETERSEN, CHAIRMAN OF GREEN SEAL and PIONEERING RECYCLER, and ROBERT H. SULNICK, ENVIRONMENTAL LAWYER,
SIGNED AS CONSULTANTS TO SOLUCORP INDUSTRIES, LTD.
- Pair Will Spearhead Introduction and Commercialization
Of Heavy Metals Remediation Technology -
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL., OCT. 12, 2006 – Solucorp Industries, Ltd. (OTC: SLUP) announced today that Gary M. Petersen, one of the Nation’s leading conservationists and U.S. recycling pioneer, and his business partner, Robert H. Sulnick, co-founder of American Oceans campaign (with Ted Danson), have been signed as consultants to Solucorp to spearhead the introduction and commercialization of the Company’s Integrated Fixation System (IFS) and Molecular Bonding System (MBS®) patented proprietary technologies. The initial focus will be on IFS, a first-of-its-kind heavy metals remediation solution which removes mercury from coal fired power plant emissions.
Petersen, as a Waste Management Vice President and Director of Environment Affairs for Recycle America was instrumental in the company becoming the largest recycler in the U.S. Having been involved in the greening of the White House, Petersen is a recognized expert in environmental sustainability.
Petersen and Sulnick offer a wealth of environmental expertise and experience to the Solucorp team. The pair brings a twenty-year track record of championing many important environmental issues as well as shepherding anti-pollution and energy conservation technologies to the marketplace. Their client list has included: British Petroleum (solar energy, ARCO-BP (low-sulfur diesel), the Western States Petroleum Association (recycled motor oil, low sulfur-diesel), Intergen (sustainable development, energy conversation), Toyota (recycling), OsmoTech and the Army Corps of Engineers (electric pulse technology capable of solving mold and water intrusion problems in-grade and below-grade structures), Earth Shell (biodegradable alternative to plastic and polystyrene packaging), and such developers as Playa Vista and Hearthside Homes (base energy model, alternative energy, indoor air quality, building materials, water conservation, recycling).
“When I was introduced to Solucorp’s unique technology,” Petersen said, “I immediately understood and appreciated what an important contribution it could make to our efforts to clean up our environment – and I knew I wanted to be involved in a meaningful way. I believe that Solucorp’s breakthrough technology will be embraced as a long-sought-after solution to clean up the heavy metals contamination of our planet,” said Petersen.
“Mercury is a dangerous toxic pollutant that accumulates in the food chain,” said Sulnick. “Until recently it was thought that mercury poisoning was confined to fetuses and the young. Recent studies however, identify mercury as a much more destructive toxin than previously thought. Studies show that, at medium exposures it harms adults as well as children.”
Noel E. Spindler, President of IFS, a Solucorp subsidiary, noted that, “We are confident that Gary’s and Bob’s superior credentials coupled with the great respect they command in the industry will open significant doors for us as we actively begin to introduce our remediation systems.”
Petersen and Sulnick are the latest high-profile environmentalists to align with Solucorp in backing the Company’s efforts to help clean planet earth. Earlier this week, Solucorp announced that Gary Smith, legendary Hollywood producer, will work hand-in-hand with James Brolin, the famed actor and husband of Barbra Streisand, to produce a video news release with plans to secure cameos from top celebrities and notables to highlight Solucorp’s coal treatment technology.
As previously announced, Solucorp (www.solucorpltd.com) is presently integrating its IFS mercury emissions control technology into a working coal-fired energy plant at a major global power generation company, taking this most crucial step to demonstrate a solution to the world’s mercury emissions dilemma. By the end of this year, Solucorp plans to make the technology accessible to the worldwide energy industry.
Mercury is a highly persistent, toxic pollutant that accumulates in the food chain. Fetuses, infants and young children are most at risk for mercury damage to their nervous systems. At high concentrations, it can cause mental retardation, cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness and death. The development of coal as a Twenty First Century energy source has been limited by the mercury emissions problem. Solucorp has an answer to that problem. Its patented technology eliminates mercury flue gas emissions and, additionally, remediates the resulting fly ash turning it into an additional source of revenue.
Globally, coal is more abundant than oil reserves. Solucorp’s patented solution is the answer to countries worldwide in need of reducing toxic mercury emissions from coal fired power plants. Although coal is a vastly abundant energy source, its development for the future has been limited by the problem of hazardous mercury emission pollution.
