October 13 - Neohydro Technologies Corporation Awarded "Most Promising Energy & Clean Technology Company" at Rice Alliance Energy & Clean Technology Venture Forum

Neohydro Technologies Corp. (OTCBB: NHYT) was named one of the top ten most promising Energy & Clean Technology companies at the 6th Annual Rice Alliance for Technology & Entrepreneurship Energy & Clean Technology Venture Forum in Houston. Energy & Clean Technology companies showcased their new ventures for an audience of more than 600 attendees, including investors, venture capitalists, industry representatives, business leaders, advisors/mentors, service providers, and entrepreneurs.

Neohydro Technologies Corp. has developed a mobile water sterilization technology which uses a proprietary high-voltage electrolysis device that transforms water. The technology allows us to transform the way water is used in industrial and agricultural applications as well as in non-traditional applications. Neohydro can transform water into a safe and powerful sterilant for use in the medical industry. Water re-use is a fast-growing sector in many different industries.

On the surface, these applications seem unrelated, but due to unique properties of the technology, it is able to change the nature of the water itself. “Dirty” water, collected during oil and gas drilling, becomes usable for many industrial and agricultural applications, including irrigation. “Clean” water, becomes a sterilant capable of killing the most harmful of pathogens.

Neohydro’s proprietary technology uses only DC current and the waste water itself to naturally oxidize and kill all bacteria, virus, fungi, mold, BOD’s and COD’s. Perchlorates, arsenic, most metals, and all gases are neutralized during the sterilization process.

Dean Themy, CEO of Neohydro states, “I am very honored and pleased that our company has been recognized by such a prestigious group of individuals and corporations. Rice University is well-known as a top entrepreneurial university. Most recently, the Princeton Review named Rice University among the top schools in America for development of entrepreneurial companies. The audience included several CEO’s of fortune 100 companies, some of the finest venture firms, and many academics from around the world. This recognition further propels Neohydro by endorsing our technology and business plan.”

The one-day event culminated in an announcement of the Most Promising Energy & Clean Companies chosen from nearly 60 competitors and judged by the Rice Alliance Information Technology Advisory Board, based on the companies’ elevator pitch presentations. The exercise simulates meeting an investor on an elevator and having only 90 seconds to convince them to invest in your company.

Rice Alliance Managing Director Brad Burke, announced the winners of the Most Promising Energy & Clean Technology Company awards at the event. “Every year the quality of companies improves. Many of the companies at this year’s event have developed prototypes, obtained proven results and are on their second round of funding. This makes them more appealing to investors, who have also expressed appreciation for the quality of the companies.”

The Forum was supported by Chevron Technology Ventures, Locke, Lord, Bissell & Liddell, Shell, Kenda Capital, British Consulate General – Houston, UK Trade & Investment, UK Science & Technology, Huron Consulting Group, Applied Ventures, Canada Consulate General, Winstead, Leyendecker & Associates, with supporting organizations Greater Houston Partnership, Houston Technology Center, and Opportunity Houston and media sponsors Houston Business Journal and the BusinessMakers Radio Show.

http://www.otcpicks.com/perf-go-green/perf-go-green.htm

Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. is engaged in the creation and global marketing of 100% eco-friendly, non-toxic, food-contact-compliant, biodegradable plastic products. All Perf Go Green products are made from recycled plastics and completely break down in landfill within two years, leaving no toxic or visible residue, as compared to other plastics that take hundreds of years. Perf Go Green’s corporate name reflects its “Go Green” mission to develop, market and distribute biodegradable plastic products as a practical and viable solution to eliminating plastic waste from the world environment.

PGOG News:

October 8 - Perf Go Green Products Hit Retail Shelves Nationwide

Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PGOG) (“Perf Go Green”), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, announced that its 13-gallon kitchen trash bags and 30-gallon lawn and leaf bags are on retail shelves at more than 6,000 Walgreens locations throughout the U.S.

“Our roll-out at Walgreens took place right on schedule in mid-September,” said Chairman and CEO Tony Tracy. “We are thrilled that our biodegradable bags are available nationwide with this leading retailer, offering consumers an easy, cost-effective way to reduce plastic waste and benefit the environment as they shop for household necessities. Reception by consumers has been enthusiastic and, in fact, we've already received three re-orders from Walgreen's.

“From the get go, Perf Go Green's goal has been to offer a 'green' plastics platform to households and business all over the U.S. With the completion of our launch at Walgreens, as well as the many other retail launches and commercial conversions we have on tap for this fall, we're poised to make that goal a reality. Perf Go Green is helping to lead the way in the 'go green movement,' which analysts project will become a $500 billion market in the U.S. by 2009.”

Walgreens is the nation's largest drugstore chain with fiscal 2007 sales of $53.8 billion.

Founded in November 2007, Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, where its products received an honor for their design quality and innovation.

Perf Go Green products incorporate recycled plastics that are combined with an Oxo-Biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for the bags. Based on environmental claims statements made by the manufacturer of the Oxo-Biodegradable applied to our bags, when discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, we believe Perf Go Green products biodegrade, decomposing into simple materials found in nature within two years, as opposed to regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, the company effectively removes plastic waste from the environment. In addition, Perf Go Green kitchen trash bags utilize a unique patented dispensing system that stores the bags on the bottom of trashcans and dispenses them one at a time.

According to Landor Associates, the “go green movement” is poised to become a $500 billion market in the U.S. by 2009.

October 8 - Perf Go Green Holdings Given 'Speculative Buy' Rating, Target Price $3.75 by Beacon Equity Research

In the report, the analyst writes, “We anticipate a very rapid ramp-up for PGOG’s revenues in 2009 and over the next three to five years as a result of the environmental advantages of the Company’s biodegradable bag technology, PGOG’s steady progress in establishing distribution channels through leading national retailers, and a steady stream of extensions to its existing product lines. The annual U.S. market for trash bags alone exceeds $3.0 billion; we believe the potential market PGOG may address with product line extensions could easily create a $5.0 billion annual sales opportunity.”

Other companies in the environmental products/plastic bag brands sector include: Clorox Company (NSYE: CLX), Pactiv Corp. (NYSE: PTV), China Green Material Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: CAGM) and Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: BPAC).
