World Waste Technologies, Inc. Announces Completion of Pre-Certification for
Renewable Energy Status by the California Energy Commission

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- World Waste Technologies, Inc.
(OTCBB:WDWT) announced today that four of its California projects have been
pre-certified as eligible renewable energy resources by the California Energy
Commission. World Waste's gasification process is being developed to use biomass
derived from post recycled municipal solid waste (MSW) and other biomass waste
streams as a feedstock for generating electricity from renewable energy sources
and meets the California's Renewable Portfolio Standard.

This designation of renewable status in California supports the Company's
efforts to develop and operate facilities generating renewable power for sale to
utilities pursuing the State of California's Renewables Portfolio Standard. John
Pimentel, World Waste's CEO, said, "We are very pleased that the Energy
Commission took the time and effort required to understand the various aspects
of our process and the nature of our feedstock. The State of California's
conclusion that our proposed projects preliminarily meet the eligibility
criteria for the Renewables Portfolio Standard enables us to negotiate power
purchase agreements with California based utilities to sell renewable power at
market prices while simultaneously increasing the amount of biomass diverted
from California's landfills."

"Renewable resources are essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
biomass is a vital element in helping to reach the state's mandated RPS goal of
20 percent renewables by 2010," commented Jackalyne Pfannenstiel, Chairman,
California Energy Commission. "Over the last three decades California has built
one of the largest and most diverse energy portfolios in the world and we are
encouraged by the number of developers who have stepped forward and committed to
renewable energy generation."

World Waste plans to develop at least four projects in Northern California that
will each generate approximately 20MW of renewable electricity from biomass
derived from post-recycled municipal solid waste. The projects are expected to
utilize a gasification process that creates a clean synthesis gas for use in a
traditional steam boiler. This system would differ significantly from mixed
solid waste (MSW) incineration processes in several ways including: (a) the use
of biomass from post-recycled MSW, (b) enabling additional, incremental recovery
of recyclable materials which currently end up in landfills, (c) the lack of air
or oxygen used in the gasification reaction, and (d) the resulting high
efficiency and low emission process for creating renewable electricity.

This designation of renewable status also bodes well for the Company's project
development efforts in other parts of the country because of California's role
as a national leader in setting environmental policy and fostering renewable
energy processes that reduce carbon emissions and other criteria pollutants. Mr.
Pimentel said, "We believe other states will continue to look to California when
determining their own policies for supporting responsible methods to both
increase landfill diversion and create clean, renewable power. This designation
from the State of California represents a key milestone as we endeavor to
develop and operate renewable power facilities." Pursuant to established State
regulations, when the plants are operational, the Company will apply to the
Energy Commission for full RPS-certification.

According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, since 2005,
Californians have deposited over 42 million tons of municipal solid waste into
landfills annually. This represents sufficient energy value to power
approximately 2.75 million homes every year. World Waste plans to develop
projects that meet four important public policy goals: increasing landfill
diversion, reducing truck traffic, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from
current solid waste handling and energy generation practices, and generating
clean, renewable power.

Despite its receipt of the CEC designation, there can be no assurance that World
Waste will successfully develop new technologies. Even if it is able to do so,
there can be no assurance that it will obtain full CEC certification or be
selected to provide electric power to any utility or that if selected it will
have the necessary financial and other resources necessary to successfully
engage in the project. Other risk factors may include, but are not limited to,
World Waste's ability to successfully implement its business strategy, including
its ability to produce and sell product at commercial levels and adequate prices
and the acceptance of its product by potential customers and by the market in
general, the ability of World Waste to achieve profitability even if it is able
to sell its product at commercial levels, World Waste's ability to raise
subsequent financing in order to build additional facilities, World Waste's
ability to develop other energy products which can be produced from its MSW,
fluctuations in quarterly results, increased competition, the economical
operation of World Waste's process, and World Waste's ability to protect the
proprietary technology it uses. Further, World Waste operates in an industry
sector where securities values are highly volatile and may be influenced by
economic and other factors beyond World Waste's control, such as announcements
by competitors and service providers. The statements made herein are made as of
