PRESS RELEASE
Barrie, ON Canada. June 2nd, 2008

The formation of GEEP Costa Rica continues GEEP’s creation of a global solution provider for electronic recycling and recovery.

Alfred Hambsch, President of the GEEP (Global Electric Electronic Processing) has today announced the formation of a new partnership and processing facility plant for the recovery of recyclable materials from end of life electric and electronic devices as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Geep Costa Rica LLC and Geep Costa Rica SRL of the Republic of Costa Rica have been established to acquire a part of the operating business and assets of Fortech which has been serving Costa Rica and region for the past ten years.

As a result of this undertaking Geep Costa Rica SRL will now be able to service Central America and the Caribbean region from Costa Rica and thereby assist in the Greening of our Plant by recycling all electric and electronic products through our North American network of Geep outlets and processing plants.

This region will benefit from our Technology Change Management (TCM) services which have been provided to large organizations for over 20 years. From the banking industry to the Fortune 1000’s companies, who require certified audit reports that tracks all asset information, the proprietary TCM solution provided by the Geep companies facilitates tracking of assets down to the serial number and guarantees all personal data has been sanitized appropriately.

Geep and its’ new Costa Rica SRL is committed to growth and development of a global footprint to service both international and local clients. Geep continues to invest in Research and Development to improve separation technologies thereby maintaining its leadership role in this rapidly developing industry. Geep and Geep Costa Rica will focus on environmental sustainability while ensuring the health and safety of its workers.

E Scrap or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is the fastest growing waste stream in the world today. Collectively, there are over 1 Billion computers in use and 100,000 of these are scrapped every day in America alone. Add to this the mobile phones, electrical gadgets and games, TV’s and monitors plus all the other electrical items from washing machines to toasters used in a modern home and it can be easily understood why specialist recycling techniques are urgently needed to treat this enormous waste stream.

GEEP has already developed into a major player in the Global market operating state of the art plants in Barrie and Toronto, Ontario, Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, Montreal Quebec, Raleigh Durham, North Carolina and Dallas, Texas. GEEP has several more projects well advanced including affiliations in Europe, and Asia.
