Envirokare and Thermoplastic Composite Designs, Inc. Announce the Extension of License and Merger Agreements

ORLANDO, Fla.--Sept. 30, 2003--The new management of Envirokare (OTCBB:ENVK) and the management of Thermoplastic Composite Designs, Inc., ("TCD") announced the extension of the TPF(TM) Licensing Agreement and associated Merger Agreement between the two companies. The exclusive Licensing Agreement and the Merger Agreement have been extended through March 1, 2005.

Dr. John Verbicky, President and CEO of Envirokare and Dr. Dale Polk of TCD, in a joint statement said, "The extension will give both Companies the opportunity to complete various commercialization and licensing projects currently in progress without diverting valuable human and economic resources and most importantly provide the necessary time to assure a seamless transition and combination of the two companies."

Both companies will continue to work closely together, as they have in the past, to introduce and commercialize the TPF(TM) technology to the rapidly expanding composites market. TCD will continue to focus on its growing Department of Defense business opportunities. Envirokare, with the cooperation of TCD, will expand its efforts in the commercial application and licensing of the TPF(TM) technology.

George Kazantzis, the company's COO, stated that "We are confident that the Company with its newly expanded and strengthened management team will assure the successful commercialization of the TPF(TM) technology across a broad spectrum of the marketplace."

Envirokare, under an exclusive license, is a marketer of the state-of-the-art TPF composite technology developed by Thermoplastic Composite Designs, Inc. (TCD). The proprietary TPF process features in-line compounding, automated low-pressure material delivery system, providing high long strand survivability rate and part forming of long-fiber reinforced large structural parts. The license provides for use of the TPF technology to develop, produce, sub-license and market a wide array of products. Envirokare holds an irrevocable option to cause its ECC subsidiary to merge with TCD, pursuant to a merger agreement entered into by the parties.
