Biopack Environmental Announces Entry into the United States Packaging Market
Jul 14, 2009

HONG KONG - Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: BPAC), a leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of 100% biodegradable packaging products, is pleased to announce its entry into the United States packaging market. In addition to selling its products in more than 14 countries, Biopack has begun to market and sell its compostable packaging line in the United States through its newest distribution partner, Biopack America.

Industry expert PIRA (Packaging Industry Research Association) estimates that the world market for consumer packaging grew 5% in 2008 and is now worth approximately US$480 billion, of which the United States is the largest single market. However, eco-friendly packaging represents only a small amount of total sales.

In the United States, consumer and legislative trends appear to be supporting a switch to biodegradable packaging products; cities such as Seattle, and 30 municipalities in California (including San Francisco) have recently banned or restricted the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS or more commonly known as Styrofoam) in "to-go" containers. Biopack believes that this evolution towards environmentally friendly products, coupled with widening political support for the restriction of polluting products, makes the landscape for sales growth in the US for sustainable, eco-friendly packaging ideal.

According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, in 2008 Americans alone threw away 25 billion Styrofoam cups (82 per person) and of the 3 million tons of EPS produced in the U.S., 2.3 million tons ended up in landfills, with much of the remainder finding its way into waterways. EPS does not biodegrade for over 200 years.

"We are excited to enter the United States market and continue our effort to expand our international footprint in key markets where environmentally responsible packaging is increasingly becoming a priority," commented Mr. Gerald Lau, Biopack's Chief Executive Officer. "We believe the United States represents an enormous, untapped opportunity for Biopack, as virtually the entire market segment continues to be dominated by environmentally polluting products such as paper, plastic, and EPS. Our management team is confident that Biopack can duplicate its European success in the US and other markets, as our product quality, low environmental impact, and bio-degradability characteristics are industry-leading."
