Environmental International Inc. markets a sugar cane based ethanol, non ñtoxic heating gel for use in the hospitality, restaurant and catering industries. Ecoflame Gel is the ìGold Standardî for the chafing fuel industry as it burns cleaner, is safer, provides superior performance and significantly reduces ozone and consumer health threatening gases. These health and safety qualities make it the most attractive
fuel for use also in camping, private homes and other enclosed areas. As it is energy efficient, Ecoflame gel reduces carbon dioxide emissions and professional opinion suggests that on a global basis Ecoflame is carbon dioxide neutral. It eliminates nitrous oxide gases completely, the second most serious ozone threatening greenhouse gas.

As all other chafing fuel heating products are derivatives of petroleum and natural gas, they produce poisonous emissions of carbon monoxide, carcinogenic causing, dioxin, and are finite resources.
Ecoflame based sugar cane is a renewable resource with no poisonous emissions and is packaged in refillable and recyclable steel cans.

The Summary îCurrent State of the Foodservice Heating Fuel Industry" provides a perspective on the highly toxic products currently available to the institutions and the consumer. As stated on most labeling, methanol and methyl alcohol based fuels create serious health and safety risks. While not as forthcoming in disclosure on itsí labeling, wick equipped diethylene glycol based fuels produce poisonous emissions and are very dangerous to the touch. Furthermore, when used as chafing dish
heating fuel, the BTUís produced are not sufficient to avoid fuel contamination.

Ecoflameís national awareness programs are ongoing and consumer response to the clean, safe, superior performance properties and characteristics of the Ecoflame ethanol products continues to be excellent. Additional brand names are being trademarked to facilitate our international marketing. During the past few months, the ìHot Discî product has been featured in several national publications, Vanity Fair, House & Gardens, This Old House, Sports Illustrated and was recently showcased on the NBC, TO-DAY SHOW. Additional television programming is planned.

A sugar cane based hand sanitizer and at least two ethanol based general purpose cleaners will be introduced to the North American consumer shortly.

Equally important is the growing commitment by the corporate community to find ways to balance environmental stewardship with economic prosperity.
