KBF Retains Dr. Richard Krablin As Chief Compliance Officer
PATERSON, N.J., Mar 18, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- KBF Pollution Management, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KBFP) ("KBF"), a premier waste recovery company that recycles and mines metallic commodities from industrial wastes, today announced the appointment of Dr. Richard Krablin to KBF's chief compliance post. Dr. Krablin will direct environmental affairs at KBF's various existing and future locations, including its recycling and commodity manufacturing facility, with an emphasis on overall environmental performance, continuous improvement and oversight of compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations.

Most recently in his career, Dr. Krablin served as Senior Vice President of Environment, Health and Safety for Horsehead Industries, Inc., the leading zinc recycler in the country where he assured occupational and environmental compliance and excellence in performance at seven domestic zinc recycling and production facilities.

"Dr. Krablin, an industry veteran seasoned by his tenure with the nation's leading zinc recycler, brings critically relevant experience to KBF at a time when we are just beginning to scale our proprietary recycling technologies into the regional and national markets," said Kevin Kreisler, KBF's president. "Innovative and dynamic management of the many connections between technology, operations and compliance is crucial to the recycling of hazardous wastes. Dr. Krablin at once commands a ready grasp of our unique recycling technologies, a thorough understanding of our operational requirements and an extensive knowledge of the applicable regulations. We are very excited by his addition to our management team."

Dr. Krablin added: "Our environment is very much a part of our economy. The prevailing sentiment, however, both within the hazardous waste management industry and without, is otherwise. The established view that environmental benefits are at odds with progress - and profit - has driven the creation of a staggering amount of inefficiency. From the promulgation of regulations implicitly designed not to prevent harm, but rather to mitigate its effects, to design practices premised on resource consumption instead of resource conservation, to waste management practices based not on reuse but on disposal, these inefficiencies are responsible for the entrenchment of significant barriers to entry to emerging markets based on the efficient and sustainable allocation of societal resources. With its technologies and process capabilities, KBF has overcome these barriers and established that the prevailing sentiment is wrong; that the key to the sustainable prevention of environmental harm is profitability."

"Green technologies such as KBF's are the wave of the future. I very much look forward to helping KBF bring its technologies to market and to fulfill its mission to deliver its clients safe, compliant and superior environmental results," added Krablin.

Prior to joining Horsehead, Dr. Krablin had a multi-tasked career with Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) where he directed the worldwide environmental affairs of the mining and mineral processing subsidiary and managed the legacies and Superfund sites of the former Anaconda Co. Dr. Krablin started his industry career with The Anaconda Co. in Montana. Dr. Krablin has a PhD and MS in physics from Drexel University in Philadelphia and a BS in physics from Lafayette College, and is a graduate of the Stanford Executive Program for business leaders.

About KBF Pollution Management, Inc.

KBF is establishing itself as the premier recycling services provider in the nation. KBF's Paterson, New Jersey flagship recycling and commodity manufacturing center has been designed for the large-scale application of KBF's patented and proprietary resource recovery technologies. These process technologies separate, remove and recover a wide range of metals from liquid and solid wastes as well as other production and manufacturing media. Use of these technologies enables KBF to competitively recycle a much broader array of hazardous and non-hazardous waste than any other recycling service provider that exists today. Wastes managed with KBF's technologies become products that are comparable and superior to the quality of virgin metal ores extracted from the ground. Use of KBF's technologies eliminates the federally mandated 'cradle-to-grave' liability for which a waste generator would otherwise remain perpetually liable. KBF's technologies apply to manufacturing, industrial and municipal waste processes that contain metals or otherwise produce a metal bearing waste by-product.
