Agion Earns Prestigious Environmental Honor

Becomes the first antimicrobial technology to Achieve Cradle to CradleSM Gold
Certification
WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Agion, the worldwide leader in natural silver-based antimicrobial technologies,
has become the first antimicrobial technology to earn the prestigious Gold Level
Cradle to CradleSM environmental certification. The award solidifies Agion`s
position as the preferred antimicrobial for green initiatives.

Cradle to Cradle certification recognizes companies that adopt renewable energy
and energy efficiency, efficient use of water, environmentally safe materials,
recycling or composting, and other criteria. Agion earned Silver Level
certification last year and strengthened its environmental processes this year
to achieve Gold Level.

"We`re honored by this environmental stamp of approval for Agion," said Cyndy
Hunter, director of marketing for Agion Technologies. "Achieving Gold Level
Cradle to Cradle Certification is further proof that Agion`s naturally-based,
non-toxic antimicrobial technology truly is a green alternative to synthetic
chemicals."

Agion is based on naturally-occurring silver, "Nature`s antimicrobial." Silver
has been used to suppress the growth of microbes for thousands of years and is
used today in many industries including healthcare, consumer, food, water and
industrial. Agion`s technology is built directly into products, enabling a
self-cleaning surface that provides continuous protection from microbes and
remains effective for the life of the product.

Cradle to Cradle certification gives companies a way to tangibly measure
achievement in environmentally-intelligent design and helps customers buy
products that adhere to a broader definition of quality. The trend is gaining
ground. Wal-Mart, for example, recently announced a system that will rate
products based on how environmentally and socially sustainable they are. Cradle
to Cradle is a service mark of MBDC.
