GTSO Signs Option to Acquire Cutting-Edge Resource Recovery Firm Klean Industries, Inc.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In a move to expand and diversify its clean-tech business, Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: GTSO) today announced the signing of an option to purchase cutting-edge Canadian resource recovery company Klean Industries, Inc.

Based in Vancouver, Klean Industries commercializes cutting-edge waste-stream conversion processes to turn tires, plastics and other petroleum-based refuse into fuel and energy commodities. These innovative technologies are capable of repurposing non-recycled plastics and other waste petroleum, helping to create a reliable source of alternative energy from an abundant, no-cost feedstock and diverting valuable materials from landfills.

In Europe and Asia, waste conversion is already being implemented on a commercial scale, said Klean Industries CEO J. Klinkhamer.

“We specialize in designing commercially viable ecological recovery models that mimic nature in recognizing that waste equals food,” Klinkhamer said. “We help customers reduce environmental management costs while minimizing business risks and environmental liabilities, and we look for opportunities to convert liabilities into assets.”

According to the option agreement, GTSO will have 90 days to conduct a due diligence review of the company to determine the viability of a purchase, joint venture or strategic alliance agreement.

“Klean Industries has engineered a pragmatic, creative approach to solving modern energy and waste issues simultaneously,” said GTSO President and CEO John Shearer. “The acquisition of an emerging business dedicated to the development of innovative new green technologies is an opportunity we’re very much looking forward to exploring in depth.”

Green Technology Solutions invests in early-stage breakthrough products and technologies, developing new ideas into profitable, environmentally sound products and services. Most recently, the company has been working to develop new sources of rare earth resources in developing nations such as Mongolia, Kenya and Botswana. Rare earths are critical to the manufacture of leading-edge green energy solutions including wind turbine generators, photovoltaic solar panels and electric car batteries.

By acquiring Klean Industries, GTSO would gain new business and expertise in a rapidly emerging segment of the green technology sector.

“The exploration of new resources is essential to making green energy cost-competitive with fossil fuels,” Shearer said. “The innovative thinking behind Klean Industries’ business model is exactly what is needed to profitably preserve the planet.”
