Waste to Energy company
Founded in 1993 in Australia, the company quickly became the number one in waste management technology company in the country. It has been used commercially to process all types of hazardous waste, all types of oil refinery waste, as well as all types of ex-gas works waste.
The Company was founded to bring a patented and commercially proven Australian waste to energy technology to the US and Canada, and eventually to the rest of the world. This technology has widespread application in the blossoming (1) Renewable Energy Industries, (2) Bio & Hazardous Waste Management and (3) Waste to Energy initiatives.
The technology has been certified as a closed loop, energy self-sufficient technology to commercially process scrap car tires and tar sands in independently validated trials undertaken by an independent sustainable energy engineering firm using the technology testing plant in Canada.
Scrap car tires were also processed by the 2 ton/hour commercial plant in Australia as part of a Government funded program in 2002 and 2004 validating the technology as a tire to energy technology.
The Australian company was successfully listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 2000 and had revenues in excess of $90M with EBITDA in excess of $25M for the year ending 2009 making it Australia’s largest and most successful publicly traded hazardous waste and waste service company.
Project Funding
Currently The Company is seeking an investor to obtain equity in exchange for operating capital to cover business operations while the new plants become operational.

Ozone Layer Protection Technology
Value Recovery (the Company) is an environmental services research company with a primary focus on destruction and/or recovery of hazardous chemicals from both air and water by de-toxifying them via conversion to benign compounds. Methyl Bromide (MB) scrubbing has emerged as the lead application for commercialization and market penetration. Methyl Bromide is the pesticide of choice for fumigating produce and soil and is a known ozone depleter. The opportunity is to change the industry practice of venting MB directly into the atmosphere since no viable alternatives or economic emissions control systems are available. The Company’s patented and proprietary process controls the emission of the gas by destroying up to 99% of methyl bromide entering the process, thus allowing for the continued use of MB while virtually eliminating more potential destruction of the ozone layer.
Project Funding
As the Company wishes to continue development to achieve the commercialization stage of the enterprise, the Company is immediately seeking a seed investment of $620,000. The proceeds will be used to complete the Research and Development Plan (R&D Plan) and prepare for the initial sales in the marketplace. The total requested to enter the market is $2.5 million and includes the initial seed capital investment.
Business Details
1. License of the Patented Technology. Royalty fees per pound of methyl bromide scrubbed or annually per location for customers sophisticated enough to supply their own infrastructure systems, like a foreign government.
2. Equipment Sales. Sell equipment through outsourced fabricators capable of taking the engineering drawings and converting them into a final equipment package for shipment.
3. Solution Sales. Scrubber solution concentrate sold to small to intermediate customers as they continue to scrub methyl bromide.
4. Additional Consultative Fees. Sell value-added fumigation consulting services such as fumigation design or permit applications directly to large customers and provide new designs for instrumentation systems.

Competition
At the end of each fumigation cycle, current practice is to allow methyl bromide to be vented directly into the atmosphere. Currently, Value Recovery has the enviable position of having no competitors using similar chemical destruction technology that can eliminate MB emissions for both small and large fumigation enclosures. Value Recovery's patent position is structured to ensure a leadership position for chemical destruction for the long-term future. Instead, there are two (2) other methods, usable only on a small scale, that are used to deal with elimination of methyl bromide emissions.
The Company has successfully completed two (2) commercial scale demonstration trials of methyl bromide scrubbing and has published its results in peer reviewed scientific journals. The trials completed were for the fumigation of fruit at the Port of Wilmington and in Westfield, Indiana for machinery slated for export. The trials support the technical claim in two vastly different environments using the same process. The process is simple, transportable and has been validated by the industry as being economically viable.
Technology
The Company has been awarded US Patents 6,846,946 and 7,090,812. The latter is for scrubbing methyl bromide from anthrax fumigations and another patent covering more general conditions typically found in industry for methyl bromide scrubbing under non-hazardous conditions will issue within a month. A third process patent that covers the company's unique approach to destroying methyl bromide was submitted last year. The company is confident that it has secured the IP in this field.
