Converted Organics Receives First Delivery of Liquid Food Waste at New Woodbridge, N.J. Manufacturing Facility.

BOSTON -- Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced today that, on June 30, the Company took delivery of its first shipment of liquid food waste at its new flagship organic soil amendment and fertilizer processing facility in Woodbridge, New Jersey. The shipment was received from waste management firm Russell Reid of Keasbey, New Jersey. Converted Organics entered into a strategic agreement with Russell Reid in April, 2008 regarding the collection, processing and conversion of food waste from Russell Reid's food service clients.

"We have begun processing our first shipment of 15,000 gallons of liquid food waste (approximately 70 tons), and are very pleased that its conversion into high-quality organic fertilizer via our High Temperature Liquid Composting (HTLC) system is proceeding as efficiently and effectively as expected," said Edward J. Gildea, President of Converted Organics. "Our team of experts in Woodbridge expects similar success with all subsequent deliveries."

Converted Organics expects that the high-quality organic fertilizer produced from this initial batch of liquid food waste will be available for shipment to customers by July 15, 2008.

About Converted Organics Inc.

Converted Organics (NASDAQ:COIN), based in Boston, MA, is dedicated to producing valuable all-natural, organic soil amendment or fertilizer products through food waste recycling. The company uses proven, state-of-the-art technologies to create a product that helps grow healthier food and improve environmental quality. Converted Organics plans to sell and distribute its environmentally-friendly fertilizer products in the retail, turf management, and agribusiness markets.

Converted Organics' fertilizer products will be produced in both a dry pellet and liquid concentrate. 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%, 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. Increased use of nitrogen in commercial agriculture and turf grass applications, such as 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 will reduce chemical run-off to streams, ponds and rivers, an objective with significant long-term benefits to the environment.

The products have a long shelf life compared to many other organic fertilizers. In a number of lab and field trials, the liquid product has been shown to be effective in mitigating powdery mildew, a leaf fungus that effects most plants and grasses and restricts the flow of water and nutrients to the plant. 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.
