COMMODORE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ANNOUNCES OPENING OF COMMERCIAL CFC SELECTIVE DESTRUCTION PLANT IN OHIO; Annual Plant Capacity To Exceed $10 Million.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 1995--Commodore Environmental Services, Inc. (OTC:COES) today announced the opening of its commercial chlorofluorocarbon ("CFC") selective destruction plant in Merengo, OH. The facility, which is expected to have the capacity to process CFC materials with a resale value of over $10 million annually, will apply Commodore's patent-pending CFC selective destruction technology to unusable mixed refrigerants, completely and cleanly destroy the unusable CFC content, and allow for the Company's resale of the purified usable CFC material.

Recently, when the CFC selective destruction technology was made available on a limited commercial test basis, Commodore's Columbus, OH subsidiary, CFC Technologies, Inc., obtained and cleanly processed several thousand pounds of mixed CFC materials from such major national CFC reclaimers as New Era Refrigerants, Refrigerant Management Services, Inc., Johnson Supply, Inc., and RRCA. Integral Sciences, Inc., one of the nation's foremost independent laboratories in the refrigerant management industry, verified the 100% success rate of Commodore's selective destruction on the processed contaminated CFC materials.

For corporations which depend on an affordable supply of CFCs to operate industrial facilities and require an inexpensive method for dealing with mixed refrigerant waste, the new plant and commercial results are significant. Commodore believes that its technology is the only clean process on the market today capable of restoring usable refrigerant solvents, such as R-12, from refrigerant mixtures (including R-12/R-22 mixtures) that fail to meet EPA minimum purity specifications for their continued usage. CFC refrigerants are contaminated in this manner during ordinary operation of commercial and industrial air conditioners, refrigeration and freezer equipment, as well as automobile and residential air conditioners.

"We have received many inquiries from refrigerant companies about supplying CFC materials to Commodore for processing with our unique technology," said James DeAngelis, President of CFC Technologies, Inc. "Our new Merengo CFC selective destruction plant provides a cost-effective alternative to expensive incineration and the related toxic waste concerns, while allowing Commodore to resell valuable, reusable refrigerant products."

Commodore's CFC technology, which produces no toxic dioxins or hazardous furans, is being considered by the United Nations Environment Programme as a potential aid in the effort to reduce the global stockpile of approximately 4.5 billion pounds of ozone-depleting materials earmarked for destruction.

As part of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, issued in 1987, the worldwide use of CFCs and other solvents as refrigerants has been strictly regulated, and a ban on the new production of all ozone-depleting substances is scheduled to take effect on December 31, 1995. The rulings have intensified the need for an effective, economic and earth-friendly way to manage ozone-depleting substances around the globe.

Commodore Environmental Services, Inc. (OTC:COES), based in New York City, and its Ohio-based research subsidiaries Commodore Laboratories, Inc. (formerly A.L. Sandpiper Corporation) and CFC Technologies, Inc., have been involved in environmental services and waste management since 1986. Commodore utilizes patented and patent-pending technologies for the destruction and selective destruction of refrigerants and other ozone-depleting substances.
