TEG Group (The) PLC 06 August 2007 For release 7:00am Monday August 6th 2007 The TEG GROUP PLC (TEG) ('TEG' or 'the Company') TEG Receives Order for £1.46m from Gwynedd Council to Build Composting Plant subject to planning approval The TEG Group Plc ('TEG' or 'the Company'), the AIM-listed cutting edge green technology company, which converts organic wastes into natural organic fertiliser, announces that it has been chosen as Preferred Bidder by Gwynedd Council to build an In Vessel Composting ('IVC') plant at the County's Ffridd Rasus site. The contract is expected to be signed by mid September subject to planning permission being approved. A decision regarding planning is expected at the beginning of September, when the construction programme will get underway. The plant will have a 6,000 tonne per annum capacity and will process green waste and kitchen waste collected from households within the Central and Southern areas of Gwynedd. The total value of the construction project to TEG will be £1.46m. It is anticipated that the plant will be completed by April 2008 and handed over to the Council following commissioning and training. Commenting for TEG, Chief Executive Mick Fishwick said: 'We are very pleased to have received an order from Gwynedd Council and are delighted that we will be able to progress immediately into the construction of the facility subject to planning approval. This will be the second plant built by TEG in Wales, following on from our plant in Swansea and given the competitive nature of the tender process, we believe it is another major endorsement of the TEG technology.'

Plant economics are predominantly driven by the gate fees charged, rather than the value of the end product (compost). The TEG process is an economic alternative to landfill. The Silo Cage system, one of the few technologies in Europe capable of treating this waste, is a natural process producing compost as an end product, used as an excellent soil conditioner that fertilises, retains moisture, provides structure and reduces the incidence of plant disease. TEG's Silo-Cages are housed in self-contained buildings, are not unsightly and are environmentally friendly. Customers include local authorities, waste management companies, food processors, farmers and landowners. The Company's expanding market is driven by increasingly stringent EU and UK legislation regulating the treatment and disposal of organic waste. Statutory targets for the diversion of waste from landfill increase annually through to 2020, increasing TEG's market opportunity year on year. The Waste Resource Action Programme estimates that 450 composting plants will be needed by 2020 to satisfy local authority requirements alone, and there is increasing demand from the private sector driven by ABP legislation. NOFCO is a marketing company specialising in the development of end markets for compost products, an important aspect of all plant developments and key to local authority development. The company has an expertise in the development of agricultural and horticultural markets and this capability is to be provided to customers to enhance TEG's overall service offering.
