Conporec Signs a Contract Valued at More Than $ 22 Million CDN With The Regional Municipality of York (ON)

Conporec Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CNX)(ALTERNEXT:ALCNX)("Conporec" or the "Company")
today announces that it has signed on January 2, 2008, a 30-month contract, with
two one-year optional renewal periods with The Regional Municipality of York, an
Ontario (Canada) community made up of nine municipalities with a total
population of close to one million residents. This contract, the value of which
could reach more than $22 million will allow for the recovery of source
separated organics (SSO) at a minimum rate of 25,000 tons per year and
potentially up to 40,000 tons. This organic material will be transformed into
first quality compost at Conporec's La Prade Environmental Park facility located
in Becancour, Quebec (Canada).


This new facility, which is specialized in SSO recovery, has a Certificate of
Authorization (CofA) to initially treat 40,000 tons annually. The design of this
ultramodern treatment facility makes it a model facility in Canada and in North
America. This second agreement with York Region will allow the facility to
operate at full capacity. A second expansion phase is already planned to bring
this capacity to 80,000 tons and eventually up to more than 200,000 tons
annually.


In 2008, Conporec will therefore recover more than 65,000 tons of SSO waste in
its two treatment facilities located in Sorel-Tracy and Becancour. This is an
increase of 160% compared to the 25,000 tons processed in 2007. The growth in
the amount of waste recovered by Conporec opens door to the application of
complementary waste-to-energy technologies currently under development at
Conporec's La Prade Environmental Park. "These new revenues from the Becancour
and Sorel-Tracy facilities, combined with those generated by the construction of
the facilities in France (Tournan-en-Brie) and in Australia (Mindarie Regional
Council) allow us to anticipate very favourable results for Conporec in 2008,"
said Mr. Jean Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Officer.
