Monday April 21, 8:00 am ET

WILTON, Conn., April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Startech Environmental Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK - News), a fully reporting, Award-winning Environment and Energy Company, announced today that the EnviroSafe Industrial Services Corporation of San Juan, Puerto Rico has expanded its original plans for its new recycling-facility and its location to now include its intention to install three Plasma Converters Systems, purchased last year from the Company, in an existing, former pharmaceutical-industry-facility also located in Puerto Rico.

Steve Landa, Startech VP, said, "The Converters being manufactured now will be used by EnviroSafe to process various wastes including pharmaceutical-industry waste with the resulting Plasma Converted Gas used to make various Alternative Fuels. It is important to note here that in this first-of-its-kind facility, the Alternative Fuels will be produced from waste as the feedstock and not from food-crops."
