ENDS Contact: TEG Environmental Group Plc Michael Fishwick, Chief Executive 01772 314100 Binns & Co PR Ltd Peter Binns/ Tarquin Edwards 020 7786 9600 Editor's Notes: TEG provides an in-vessel composting technology, which is one of the few approved technologies capable of treating animal by-product waste. Plant economics are driven by the gate fees charged, rather than the value of the end product (compost). The TEG process is an economic alternative to landfill. The Silo Cage system, one of the few technologies in Europe capable of treating this waste, is a natural process producing compost as an end product, used as an excellent soil conditioner that fertilizes, retains moisture, provides structure and reduces the incidence of plant disease. TEG's Silo-Cages will be housed in a self-contained building, are not unsightly and are environmentally friendly. Potential customers include local authorities, waste management companies, food processors, farmers and landowners. The Company's expanding market is driven by increasingly stringent EU and UK legislation regulating the treatment and disposal of organic waste.
