Converted Organics Inc. Selected to Present at the US Composting Council Conference

BOSTON--(Business Wire)--The United States Composting Council has selected Converted
Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) to make a presentation at its upcoming
Conference and Exhibition in Oakland, CA, February 9-12, 2008. The
USCC Conference is the largest conference in North America for the
organics recycling, composting and wood waste recycling industry. The
Converted Organics presentation is titled: "An Alternative - Enhanced
Autogenous Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion Turns Food Waste into Soil
Amendment."

"The opportunity to discuss our innovative in-vessel aerobic
digestion technology at a conference as important as the USCC Annual
Conference is a big plus for Converted Organics," said Jack Walsdorf,
Chief Operating Officer of Converted Organics. "The professionals at
the conference know full well that alternatives to the traditional
handling of food waste will be necessary and our presentation will
help develop opportunities for Converted Organics."

Dr. Stuart Buckner, Executive Director of the USCC, said, "Our
conference is a national forum, and new, alternative treatment
technologies such as the Converted Organics in-vessel solution will be
of interest to our membership and attendees. Organics recycling is
receiving well deserved attention and this presentation is a good fit
for our conference program.

The Converted Organics Inc. recycling facility that is under
construction in Woodbridge, NJ has been approved for inclusion in the
Middlesex County New Jersey Solid Waste Management Plan and has been
permitted as a Class C Recycling Facility. When fully operational, the
Woodbridge facility is expected to process approximately 78,000 tons
of organic food waste, which will be diverted from landfills, and
produce approximately 7,500 tons of dry fertilizer product and 6,700
tons of liquid fertilizer annually.

About Converted Organics Inc.

Converted Organics (NASDAQ:COIN), based in Boston, MA, is a
development stage company dedicated to producing valuable all natural,
organic soil amendment or fertilizer products through food waste
recycling. The company uses proven, state-of-the-art technologies to
create a product that helps grow healthier food and improve
environmental quality. Converted Organics plans to sell and distribute
its environmentally-friendly fertilizer products in the retail, turf
management, and agribusiness markets.

Converted Organics' fertilizer products will be produced in both a
dry pellet and liquid concentrate. Converted Organics products have
been tested in numerous field trials for more than a dozen crops with
the result that, on average, the net value of the farmer's crop
increased 11-16%, depending on the particular crop and product
application. This is due, in part, to the disease suppression
characteristics of the product, which reduce or eliminate the need for
other costly, often toxic, crop protection applications. Increased use
of nitrogen in commercial agriculture and turf grass applications,
such as golf courses, has reduced the soil's ability to absorb
nitrogen and other nutrients. Using the products produced by Converted
Organics helps restore the soil by replenishing these micronutrients.
This reduces the amount nitrogen required in a virtuous cycle that
benefits from long-term use. As a result, use of the product will
reduce chemical run-off to streams, ponds and rivers, an objective
with significant long term benefits to the environment.

The products have a long shelf life compared to many other organic
fertilizers. In a number of lab and field trials, the liquid product
has been shown to be effective in mitigating powdery mildew, a leaf
fungus that effects most plants and grasses and restricts the flow of
water and nutrients to the plant. The Company's fertilizer products
can be used on a stand-alone basis or in combination with more
traditional fertilizers and crop protection products. Converted
Organics expects to benefit from increased regulatory focus on organic
waste processing and on environmentally-friendly growing practices.
