Orlando, FL, May 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. (OTCQX: SGTM) (“SGTM” or the “Company”), a provider of environmentally conscious solutions in the arbor care, disposal, and recycling industries strengthens partnership with VRM Global Holdings Pty Ltd. (“VRM”) by increasing their invested interest in SGTM.
In addition to SGTM’s recent$46.8 million HumiSoil®Purcahse Order from VRM Biologik Middle East and Africa, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with New Earth Technologies Pte Ltd. which allows SGTM to obtain additional catalyst ingredients to manufacture HumiSoil® and other related products, enough to produce an additional 4 million cubic yards. Further, SGTM entered into an Agreement Amendment and Share Issuance amending the Agreement between VRM and the Company, dated August 9, 2022, pertaining to a Restricted Sub-License Agreement. VRM has extended its U.S. footprint by an investment into SGTM. VRM acquired a further 7,000,000 shares of common stock in SGTM as part of a comprehensive program to build production capacity for its core soil health technologies.
According to the terms of the Agreement Amendment, VRM increases their invested interest in the Company where SGTM shall issue 7,000,000 shares of common stock in lieu of $7,000,000 in cash payments previously required by the Restricted Sub-License Agreement to produce its world-leading soil moisture technology in the U.S., HumiSoil® and XLR8 Bio®. SGTM’s proven capacity to capture and process large volumes of wood waste which act as basis for HumiSoil®. With recent acceptance of patents for its Large Scale Biological Hydrosynthesis techniques, VRM Biologik now offers a key element of revegetation and soil building programs globally.
HumiSoil® and XLR8 Bio® are soil treatment products that rebuild soil hydration on a cellular level, improving the soil and the vegetation and agricultural products. The Company, which has multiple production facilities and green vegetation recycle sites, will make HumiSoil® and XLR8 Bio® available for home gardens and lawns through the U.S. to help relieve water use and help with the mission to restore depleted topsoil in 25 percent of the world’s arable land. This technology catalyst is applied to vegetative green waste or compostable material to stimulate natural reactions that manufacture and store soil moisture and sequester nutrients.
“This is completely opposite to the traditional methods of composting, which releases large volumes of water, CO2, and other gasses as the material breaks down, The process uses the byproduct of production and the leftovers which are currently waste materials, but by utilizing these materials our industry’s mills and mulch yards can create additional beneficial, sustainable product for agriculture and homeowners.” commented Tony Raynor, CEO of SGTM. “
The Company’s mission is to utilize every part of the tree – roots, trunk, and top – for it’s best value. The mission goes beyond only manufacturing mulch or other wood products. It encompasses cutting-edge technology and environmentally beneficial solutions to avoid the carbon emissions associated with disposing of tree and storm waste material. VRM has been seeking a partner in the U.S. with a shared vision that could reliably deliver its products and SGTM meets all the needs.
“We think it is important to help bring this technology and the resources needed to help others in the industry grow with sustainability efforts,” commented Tony Raynor, CEO of SGTM.
“We are delighted to extend our partnership with SGTM,” said Ken Bellamy, Founder of the VRM Biologik Group. “The capacity to completely infuse our soil bounding and water generation catalysts onto clean wood fiber which SGTM offers allows us to quickly address some major issues around water loss and soil degradation at scale in areas of the world which are crying out for assistance.”
