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

SOREL-TRACY, QUEBEC (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.
