MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla.,
April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
NuEarth Corporation (Pink Sheets: NUEC) ("NuEarth"), a manufacturer
and marketer of "Clean & Green" products and technology, today
announced that it has received final approval on the first large
scale contract for AquaSolv for a minimum of $650,000 in first year sales with Jasper Agro
Development of Bolivia for the
usage of the all-natural AquaSolv product line as a Pesticide
Carrier and Adjuvant.
"This agreement is the first follow-on contract after the
successful completion of the onsite laboratory and live field
testing for the use of the all natural and biodegradable AquaSolv
in the Americas as a pesticide carrier and adjuvant. Like all
of our contracts, this is a multi-year sales agreement. Our
contract with Jasper Agro Development has a minimum first year
sales volume of $650,000 with
subsequent four (4) years having a similar minimum order with
inflation and operational cost increases built into the agreement.
The total contract value is worth $3.25 million USD over five years," said
Alfon Rosalini, Senior Vice
President of NuEarth.
The market for carrier oils and adjuvants in pesticide
formulations is estimated by the USDA in excess of $160 million in the USA and more than $528
million worldwide. The use of carrier oils includes
mineral oil, diesel oil and vegetable oils. The use of diesel oil
and mineral oils, even at the relatively low levels used in
agricultural applications, is a source of environmental and public
concern. "If AquaSolv is capable of capturing 1% of the global
market it would represent more than $6.88
million in annual sales for NuEarth Corporation in this
Industry. Replacement of petroleum-based oils by AquaSolv is
a potential growth market opportunity for NuEarth as petroleum oil
prices continue to escalate, and petroleum contamination and
poisoning remain a major health concern," said Alfon Rosalini, Senior Vice-President of
NuEarth.
In agricultural use, AquaSolv is readily biodegradable and low
in toxicity to both humans and non-targeted wildlife, providing
both a worker-safety and environmental advantage. "Support
for use of AquaSolv over petroleum products should find wide favor,
especially among farmers," said Steve
Young, CEO of NuEarth.
"Our Laboratory staff at TerraSolv have been field-testing
AquaSolv, as a carrier for pesticide, under real world conditions
over the last six months in South
America and in Central
America in cooperation with the Avalon Group with dramatic
results," said Steve Young, CEO of
NuEarth. The use of AquaSolv has been proven to be a direct
substitute for petroleum spay oils and surfactants. AquaSolv
has also been proven to improve the efficiency of some pesticides
in field trials.
TerraSolv is a state-of-the-art development and testing lab,
which collects data from clients around the world to run projects
simulations ranging from usability, capacity, spread and weather
modeling testing. The heart of the laboratory is a
160-gigabyte database of environmental and agricultural project
records running on six HP servers and two Novell servers storing
the data and running the modeling software.
NuEarth Corporation is a company dedicated to bringing to market
"Clean Solutions to Complex Problems" by offering a wide range of
biodegradable, environmentally friendly products and technologies
