Biopack Completes New Water Treatment Facility

Friday 12. December 2008 - Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: BPAC) is pleased to announce that it has completed installation of a new waste water treatment system at its factory located in Jiangmen, China.

The new waste water treatment system allows Biopack to produce colored product and remain compliant with China’s National Water Pollution Emission Standard and the Guang Dong Province’s Water Pollution Emission Limit. Able to process up to 90,000 liters (23,800 US gallons) per day, this system is more than adequate to handle Biopack’s waste water treatment requirements up to the maximum production capabilities of the factory.
Using a seven stage process, treated water can be re-used in the production process, increasing efficiency and reducing fresh water consumption. The combined process consists of a coagulation, hydrolysis/acidification and oxidation treatment. The complete cycle takes approximately sixteen hours.
Gerald Lau, CEO, stated, “We are excited that our water treatment facility is now fully operational. This allows us to meet strict environmentally responsible water emissions guidelines and marks our growth into color production. Our ability to produce colored product not only provides our existing customers with more choices, it also provides us with the ability to diversify both our customer and product base in our continuing efforts to grow our company. With this milestone behind us, we believe we can focus more of our energy on increasing efficiency, production and distribution.”
