Environmental Waste International Carbon Black Evaluated by Global Automotive Industry Leader

AJAX, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 16, 2013) - Environmental Waste International Inc. ("EWS") (TSX VENTURE:EWS) (the "Company"), a company specializing in eco-friendly systems with proven patented technology for the breakdown of organic materials, reported the evaluation of its carbon black by a global automotive industry leader at the 2013 International Elastomer Conference.

At the conference, an industry leader's Research Division reported the results of its internal tests, some of which utilized EWS's carbon black. One test partially replaced virgin carbon black, while the other added recycled carbon black to an existing mixture. In both cases the properties of the resulting product changed only minimally, opening the door for the use of recycled carbon black at the same time creating the potential for reduced costs. This indicates that there could be a very substantial market for applications in tier 1 and tier 2 automotive suppliers, among others.

Daniel Kaute, CEO of EWS, stated, "This is a major step forward. This groundbreaking research indicates that the use of our recycled carbon black is feasible on a large scale. Our technology is easily scalable and we believe it will produce quality, consistent, reliable carbon black. With the global market for carbon black estimated at about 10 million tons a year, the opportunity for Environmental Waste is quite substantial."
