    CONCORD, Ontario--April 16, 1999--Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. (OTC BB:ESWW) is pleased to announce that its proprietary extrusion formula for catalytic converter substrates will be developed using equipment from Loomis Products Co., of Levittown, Pa.
    ESWW has purchased Loomis' patented double-tilt production machine for pilot production of full-size automotive honeycombs while the company continues the development, testing and certification of the prototype catalytic converter.
    "We think that Loomis will play an important role in the development of our unique catalytic converter substrate," says Ralph Cilevitz, Technical Director of ESWW's wholly owned subsidiary BBL Technologies. "The manufacturing process for catalytic converter substrates is highly specialized and sophisticated and to have a company with the background of Loomis for the manufacturing equipment is quite a milestone for our company."

    Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. aims to become a leader in the environmental, scientific and life science industries.
