NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. – Plastic2Oil, Inc. (OTC:PTOI) (the "Company"), a clean energy company that manufactures and sells Plastic2Oil™ processors that convert waste plastic into liquid fuels and licenses related technology, is pleased to announce that on January 2, 2015, the Company entered into a series of contracts providing for the sale of six Plastic2Oil™ processors to EcoNavigation, LLC of Victor, New York ("EcoNavigation") over a three year period, and the non-exclusive license of technology and sale of its proprietary catalyst to EcoNavigation, as well as monitoring and maintenance.
The transaction with EcoNavigation represents an important milestone for the Company because its marks the Company's first sale of Plastic2Oil™ processors since the Company announced it was making a shift in business strategy from producer and seller of clean fuels to supplier of Plastic2Oil™ processors and related equipment, technology and services. Prior to the shift in strategy, the Company's Plastic2Oil™ processors had processed more than eight million pounds of waste and produced more than 700,000 gallons of fuel for sale to large industrial customers.
"We are very proud of this important achievement in the life of our Company. I feel that a successful deployment of our Plastic2Oil™ processors to EcoNavigation will validate management's decision to change course by focusing on processor sales and will set us on the course to profitability," said Rick Heddle, CEO of Plastic2Oil. "I want to take this opportunity to congratulate our entire team and to thank our loyal shareholders for their support of our business plan and their commitment to this important innovation that we have developed and commercialized."
Mark Ragus, CEO of EcoNavigation, said, "We are excited and proud to continue our commitment to the issue of environmental sustainability by licensing Plastic2Oil's unique technology. We sought out Plastic2Oil's process because we believe it is the most refined and sophisticated process of its type available."
"We are very grateful to EcoNavigation for selecting our Plastic2Oil™ solution and for its commitment to clean energy," said Mr. Heddle.
The Company also announced on January 2, 2015, that in light of the Company's achievement of this historical milestone, the Company's founder and Chief of Technology, Mr. John Bordynuik, has elected to resign. Management has requested that Mr. Bordynuik continue to support the Company as a consultant and discussions are ongoing. Mr. Bordynuik remains a significant shareholder of the Company.
"My goal in founding this Company was always to make a positive environmental impact while creating a community around our leading technology and corporate mission," said Mr. Bordynuik. "I'd like to extend my personal gratitude to everyone that has been involved with Plastic2Oil. I believe part of my job as founder was to get this Company to a 'jumping off point,' where it is well-positioned to reach the next level of commercialization. I look forward to continuing to provide consulting for the Company and any requested technical support or guidance."
"John Bordynuik has been the driving force and backbone of this Company for six years," said Mr. Heddle. "We are extraordinarily grateful for his contributions, and we look forward to continuing to have access to John's insights and ideas."
The Company believes that it is important to inform our shareholders about the reason and strategy behind entering into these agreements and information about the parties.
 -- The primary business of Plastic2Oil is to sell Plastic2Oil™ processors
    to sites that need to purchase processors to convert their waste into a
    valuable commodity. This eliminates disposal and transportation fees. The
    market demands for recycling solutions like this increase when oil prices
    drop so at this time there is a lot of activity from potential future
    sites and partners. For example, when oil prices drop significantly,
    scrap plastic markets tend to shrink and companies seeking to dispose of
    scrap plastics are faced with significant disposal costs. So while these
    companies might typically receive approximately a penny per pound for the
    sale of waste plastic in a normal oil market, and perhaps payment of
    shipping costs, now these companies are faced with paying disposal fees
    of as much as $90/ton plus $500 per truck load. Plastic is not dense so
    the shipping costs are high.
 -- The engineering firm that Plastic2Oil has been working with for over a
    year employs more than 1000 engineers and has significant experience in
    permitting, installing, and operating plants.
 -- The Company's business partner, EcoNavigation, has significant experience
    in the business component of a plastic-to-oil solution. They have
    expertise in financing, project financing, and project management, deal
    structuring, and presenting a full project as a package while interfacing
    with the engineering firm. EcoNavigation has the knowledge base to
    acquire hardware and detailed technical information from Plastic2Oil and
    work on problem solving of unique feedstock, conduct certain proprietary
    lab testing, or monitor processor operations for efficiency. Furthermore,
    EcoNavigation may become the owner of some plants or package solutions
    with other technology companies in joint ventures, and work with clients
    to integrate Plastic2Oil™ into their existing facilities.
 -- The combination of a seasoned business partner, a significant engineering
    firm and our Plastic2Oil™ technology provide the experience and
    support required to make an installation successful. Together, these
    three groups have the resources, knowledge and experience to work
    together to implement a solution at a client site.
