Sonic Introduces its PCB Remediation and Destruction Process to The Japanese Market
Adam Sumel, President
and CEO of Sonic Environmental Solutions Inc. (SNV.TSX Venture) announced that
the Company last week participated in a trade delegation to WASTEC 2004 in Tokyo,
Japan where Sonic introduced its proprietary Sonoprocess for the remediation
of PCB contaminated soil.
The Company presented
Sonics solution to PCB soil contamination at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo
on November 22nd to approximately 80 individuals from a number of Japanese organizations.
Sonic presented its non-thermal, on-site remediation solution and gave an introduction
to the Sonic PCB Sonoprocess which uses its patented sonic generator Platform
Technology. Sonic is seeking appropriate partners to facilitate entry into the
Japanese market.
The Company also
participated in WASTEC 2004 where it was made apparent to Sonic that the Japanese
environmental remediation market is seeking environmentally friendly solutions
to PCB contamination. Interest in Sonics mobile PCB solution was received
from organizations, large and small, many of whom have expressed interest in
doing business with Sonic. The Company held further meetings with potential
partners, including trading houses, manufacturers and general contractors/developers.
The high level of interest in Sonics PCB remediation and destruction solution
confirms our initial optimism for the opportunities in the Japanese PCB contaminated
soils market. The value of land combined with recent legislation (Law
Concerning Special Measures against PCB waste) requiring clean-up of PCB
by 2016 demands that organizations address the liabilities associated with past
industrial development.
Due to the lack
of sustainable options for clean-up of PCB contaminated soil in Japan, Sonic
believes that organizations requiring remediation will seek Sonics PCB
treatment process as the most sustainable and effective solution. A recently
reported contract in Japan to clean-up PCB contaminated soil was equal to between
$3000 to $4000 US per ton which did not include the actual destruction of the
PCB.
Paul Austin VP
Marketing stated: We are extremely impressed with the level of interest
we received in Japan on our PCB soil remediation solution. I would like to commend
the people at the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and Leading Edge
BC for coordinating the events. We have already received follow-up interest
from some of the multi-billion dollar companies that we met. This is an excellent
start to finding appropriate partners that will allow Sonic to launch into the
Japanese market. We expect potential partners and clients to visit our facilities
in the near future.
Anton Kuipers from
Leading Edge BC stated: I have made several trips to Japan with many different
BC companies and I am very pleased to say that Sonic received one of the highest
levels of interest ever. I will continue to work with Sonic to help them commercially
succeed on the international level. Sonic recently received confirmation
of regulatory compliance of their PCB process in British Columbia. All of Sonics
sonoprocesses use a patented Platform Technology generating sonic
energy on an industrial scale.
