BOSTON -- Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced today that it has been named as the Lead Technology Partner of the World Sports Alliance (WSA) International Business Consortium (WSAIBC) For the Joint Development of the WSA Public-Private partnership Programs in the Specific Sector of Waste-to-Fertilizer (WTF).

The World Sports Alliance is an intergovernmental organization (IGO) created through a private initiative in support of the United Nations Millennium Project and its Development Goals. The WSA is headquartered at the UN Plaza in New York City and has 24 member states.

"The selection of our technology by the WSA is a very positive development for Converted Organics. The first Member State of the WSA in the program has proposed the delivery of 10 individual fertilizer production units at a price of $2.25 million per unit. We have selected Control & Power Systems, Inc.(CPS) of Fairfield, NJ to design, engineer, and fabricate the small scale units for the first proposal from the WSA," said Jack Walsdorf, Vice President of Converted Organics for Waste Management. "The overseas market for this type of equipment is exciting. Our relationship with the WSA will highlight our technology to all 24 Member States of the WSA and other groups who are made aware of COIN thru the WSA program," said Jack Walsdorf.

About Converted Organics Inc.

Converted Organics (NASDAQ:COIN, www.convertedorganics.com), based in Boston, MA, is dedicated to producing high-quality, all-natural, organic soil amendment and fertilizer products through food waste recycling. The Company uses its proprietary High Temperature Liquid Composting (HTLC) system, a proven, state-of-the-art microbial digestion technology, to process various biodegradable food wastes into dry pellet and liquid concentrate organic fertilizers that help grow healthier food and improve environmental quality. Converted Organics sells and distributes its environmentally-friendly fertilizer products in the retail, professional turf management, and agribusiness markets.

Converted Organics' flagship manufacturing facility is located in Woodbridge, New Jersey. A second manufacturing site is located in Gonzales, California, and a third is under development in Johnston, Rhode Island. Converted Organics' products have been tested in numerous field trials for more than a dozen crops with the result that, on average, the net value of the farmer's crop increased 11-16 percent, depending on the particular crop and product application. This is due, in part, to the disease suppression characteristics of the product, which reduce or eliminate the need for other costly, often toxic, crop protection applications. In a number of lab and field trials, Converted Organics' liquid product has been shown to be effective in mitigating powdery mildew, a leaf fungus that affects most plants and grasses and restricts the flow of water and nutrients to the plant. Increased use of nitrogen in commercial agriculture and turf grass applications, such as on golf courses, has reduced the soil's ability to absorb nitrogen and other nutrients. Using the products produced by Converted Organics helps restore the soil by replenishing these micronutrients. This reduces the amount of nitrogen required in a virtuous cycle that benefits from long-term use. As a result, use of the product reduces chemical run-off to streams, ponds and rivers, an objective with significant long-term benefits to the environment.

Converted Organics' products have a long shelf life compared to many other organic fertilizers. The Company's fertilizer products can be used on a stand-alone basis or in combination with more traditional fertilizers and crop protection products. Converted Organics expects to benefit from increased regulatory focus on organic waste processing and on environmentally-friendly growing practices.
