Tuesday October 21, 9:30 am ET

CONCORD, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB: ESWW - News) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange FWB: EOW) announced today that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary ESW Canada Inc. (ESWC) received documents on October 16th, 2008 from the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) for emissions testing on the Company’s Clean Cat™ (1.)Level I High Performance Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (HP-DOC) at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). This testing series will conclude the Company’s verification program with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In the first quarter of 2008, ESW’s wholly owned subsidiary ESW America Inc. (ESWA), a state of the art emissions/engine testing Tech Center, began the mandatory EPA one thousand hours of catalyst durability testing required to qualify for EPA verification. The durability program concluded successfully in the second quarter of 2008 and the Medium Heavy Duty engine and ESWC catalysts were shipped to SwRI. Once testing begins at SwRI, the program will take approximately one week. At the conclusion of the testing, RTI will consolidate and submit the results to EPA for the issuance of the final Executive Order.

Mr. David J. Johnson, ESW's President and CEO commented, “We are looking forward to bringing this lengthy program to a successful conclusion. We believe the EPA verified Clean Cat™ will round out our diesel engine emissions reduction catalyst line, giving us an excellent low end product to service the worldwide retrofit market.”
