INSEQ Acquires Privately Held Separation and Recovery Technologies, Inc. Wednesday September 21, 1:16 pm ET Transaction Includes Exclusive License to Argonne National Laboratory's Plastic Waste Separation Technology
MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 21, 2005--INSEQ Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: INSQ - News) today announced that it has acquired Separation and Recovery Technologies, Inc. ("SRT") from UTEK Corporation (AMEX: UTK; LSE-AIM: UTKA), in an all stock transaction. ADVERTISEMENT
Pursuant to the terms of it agreement with UTEK, INSEQ acquired SRT, a 100% owned subsidiary of UTEK, in a tax-free stock-for-stock exchange through which INSEQ issued 434,782,608 unregistered shares of common stock to UTEK in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SRT.
SRT holds certain exclusive rights to a new patented technology for the separation of plastics from solid wastes and non-exclusive rights to the technology for the separation of plastics from electronic equipment and white appliances. The new technology was developed by Argonne National Laboratory under a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy. In addition to the Argonne technology, SRT's assets at closing also included several hundred thousand dollars in working capital that INSEQ will use as seed capital as it commercializes the Argonne technology.
"The Argonne technology enables the cost-effective preferential separation and recovery of specific targeted plastics from a mixed plastics stream," said Kevin Kreisler, INSEQ's chairman. "This has compelling implications in a number applications, but INSEQ is predominantly interested in manufacturing systems that apply this technology at centralized solid waste processing facilities, at consumer electronics recycling facilities, and at targeted plastics manufacturers with the goal of separating key targeted plastics for recycling and reuse, and INSEQ hopes that this technology will result in a significant contribution to INSEQ's revenue and earnings as the first systems become operational."
Kreisler continued, "Having the capability to separate targeted plastics from wastes streams provides value to recycling efforts. More importantly however, the Argonne separation technology allows for more efficient conversion of mixed plastic wastes into fuels such as diesel fuel. This can be achieved today by using this technology in conjunction with conventional refining technologies such as thermal deploymerization and we plan to steer our initial applications of the Argonne technology in this direction."
