BioSafe selected to remodel town of Orange, Mass. landfill.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March. 1, 1996--BioSafe International Inc. (NASDAQ:BSFE) announced today that it has been selected by the Town of Orange as the vendor of choice to negotiate an agreement to remodel the existing 20-acre Orange, Mass. community landfill.

The Town of Orange is the fourth municipal landfill remodeling project that BioSafe has won.

Upon the completion of all landfill remodeling activities to be performed by BioSafe, the reprocessed Orange landfill will have 1.1 million tons of new waste disposal capacity. With a planned fill rate of 400 tons per day, the total project life is estimated at 8 years. Based on an expected tipping fee of $45 per ton, potential revenues to BioSafe from this project are estimated at approximately $50 million plus expected annual CPI increases over the life of the project. The company anticipates revenues from this project in mid 1997.

BioSafe currently operates the 28-acre landfill in Fairhaven, Mass., the largest landfill remodeling project in the world. BioSafe has agreements to remodel a 26-acre landfill in South Hadley Mass., as well as a 10-acre landfill in Buckland, Mass. BioSafe also owns an 80 percent interest in a 200-acre Vermont landfill. BioSafe expects to begin receiving revenues from these three projects in 1996. Additionally, BioSafe has signed a purchase and sale agreement to purchase a 500-acre landfill in Rushville, Penn. Revenues from this project are expected in mid 1997.

Through landfill remodeling, BioSafe creates new space within the existing landfill footprint by reprocessing the landfill -- separating and storing the soil for reuse, extracting useable materials including wood, rocks and scrap steel, shredding and compacting the remaining waste, and then returning it to the landfill. BioSafe can often recover between 50 percent and 80 percent of the previously used space.

BioSafe International Inc. is a fast growing, innovative solid waste management company. The company is the world leader in "landfill remodeling" -- a patented process that BioSafe developed for recycling existing landfills. BioSafe is also evaluating additional opportunities to apply it patented materials and size reduction technologies, including tire and rubber waste recycling, medical waste treatment, dredged spoils remediation, and industrial sludge disposal.
