Startech Environmental Plasma Converter Installation First in Poland and First in Europe


WILTON, CT, April 7, 2008 / / Startech Environmental Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK), a fully reporting, internationally recognized Award-winning Environment and Energy company announced today that "waste2greenenergy (w2ge)," the Company's distributor for the United Kingdom and for the Republic of Poland, intends to install its first Plasma Converter System at a designated facility in Bytom, Poland to process ten-tons of industrial waste per day.

Joseph F. Longo, Startech president, said, "The Bytom installation is especially important to the Company because it is the opener to the entire European market including the large market in Poland that has been a long time in development. The Plasma Converter, purchased by w2ge last August and being manufactured now, will be the first in Europe."

John Cameron, w2ge's Chief Operating Officer said, "We are very excited regarding the prospects for Startech's Plasma Converter System. We have a very strong pipeline of projects in Poland and anticipate the Bytom facility being the first of many Plasma Converter Systems which we will install in Poland. Poland is one of the fastest growing economies in the European Union and is a key market for w2ge. Poland has embraced plasma technology in its environmental laws as one of the preferred technologies for the safe disposal of industrial wastes. Bytom will be the first operational Plasma Converter System in the European Union and will operate as a flagship for Startech's unique Plasma Converter technology.

"Beyond Bytom, we have a significant number of projects across Poland at various stages of advancement. The installation of these systems across a wide-range of Polish industries will propel Poland and w2ge to the forefront of 21st Century waste management technology."

About Startech - The Environment and Energy Company
Startech is the internationally recognized, Award-winning Environment and Energy Industry Company engaged in the production and sale of its innovative, proprietary plasma processing equipment known as the Plasma Converter System(TM).

The Plasma Converter System safely and economically destroys wastes, no matter how hazardous or lethal, and turns most into useful and valuable products. In doing so, the System protects the environment and helps to improve the Public Health and Safety. The System achieves closed-loop elemental recycling to safely and irreversibly destroy urban waste, organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and gases, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, industrial by-products and also items such as electronics-waste (e-waste), medical waste, chemical industry waste and other specialty wastes, while converting many of them into useful commodity products that can include silicates, metals and a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas (PCG)(TM).

Among the many commercial uses for PCG, is its use to produce "Carbonless Electric Power" from Startech Hydrogen, Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) fuels such as ethanol, synthetic diesel fuel and other higher alcohol "alternative" fuels. Startech Hydrogen, for commercial use and sale, can also be recovered from the PCG.

The Startech Plasma Converter is essentially a manufacturing system producing valuable commodity products from feedstock-materials that were previously regarded as wastes. Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and non-hazardous, as valuable renewable resources and as feedstocks.
