  CHARLOTTE, NC, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
EcoPlus, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina (PINKSHEETS: ECPL), announced
today that on June 10, 2008, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
approved the issuance of a patent for the company's process for the
treatment of "brown grease."

    This freshly patented and commercially proven technology utilizes an
environmentally friendly process for turning brown grease restaurant
refuse into a high quality, solid fuel product. This fuel product can be
used as a coal substitute to produce power, as an adjunct fuel in
waste-to-energy and steam plant operations and as a fuel for industrial
process heat over a broad range of applications whether as a standalone
fuel or cofired with other fuels or biofuels. The option to capture BTUs
for energy that is normally wasted is highly attractive in the tight
energy environment of today.

    Phil Hicks, CEO of EcoPlus, Inc., noted, "This patent validates our belief
in our technology as being unique and will have a substantial impact to
the company's future growth. With the patent in hand, we have enhanced our
credibility in both treatment of brown grease, an increasingly high
profile environmental issue, and in the production of a constructive,
value added final product that is a high quality, alternative fuel."
