Totally Green Delivers ORCA Green Machines to U.S. Army Installation in Fort Hood, Texas

Totally Green, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TLGN), a
pioneer in organic food processing systems and compostable
packaging alternatives, installed two of its revolutionary ORCA
Green Machines™ at the U.S. Army base in Fort Hood, Texas. The
installations follow a successful showcase of the ORCA technology
at Fort Hood's 11th Annual Garrison Picnic.
The U.S. Army purchased the ORCA1200 Green Machines to establish
an on-site rapid food composting solution for two of its dining
facilities at North Fort Hood. Each dining facility serves
approximately 1,500 meals a day. As home to more than 95,000
soldiers, civilian personnel and family members, Fort Hood is one
of the U.S. military's largest installations with 10 dining
facilities. Fort Hood's landfill receives 50-70 tons of trash
nearly every day. The ORCA Green Machines will divert food waste
from the landfill and reduce methane gas production.
"Our adoption of the ORCA Green Machine furthers the Army's
environmental sustainability initiative to be Net Zero Waste by
2020, and this includes the goal of complete independence from
landfill use," said Randy Doyle, Fort Hood's environment support
team supervisor. "We are also exploring ways to repurpose excess
organic waste, like for energy generation or composted fertilizer.
There is a tremendous opportunity for expanding the use of ORCA
technology at Fort Hood as well as at many other military
operations."
ORCA technology also allows rapid on-site composting of food
into nutrient-rich grey water that can be used as fertilizer or
disposed of through the ordinary sewer system. Rapid on-site
composting also saves on transportation costs and increases kitchen
operational efficiency.
Totally Green's president and interim CFO, Nate Baker,
commented: "We see this as a foot-hold opportunity for both greater
adoption in Fort Hood and by the U.S. Army overall, as we build
upon our success with the U.S. Coast Guard and other government
installations."
Totally Green recently completed successful testing periods and
subsequent approval of technology for a number of new
installations, including one of the world's largest cruise lines
and a multi-billion dollar national wholesale club.
